Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembélé hit a hat trick as all four French sides involved in the Champions League survived the cut of 12 teams to move into Friday's draw for the second phase of European club football's most prestigious tournament.
Lille walloped Feyenoord 6-1 in the final game of the group stages to finish seventh in the 36-team division and gain automatic qualification to the last-16 knockout round.
The other three sides – PSG, Monaco and Brest – completed their campaigns in 15th, 17th and 18th respectively. They will contest a two-leg play-off for a place in the last-16.
Dembélé scored his first at the MHPArena in Stuttugart in the 17th minute to double his side's advantage in a game they had to win in order to be assured of advancing to the play-off places.
He slotted in his second just before half-time to put PSG in control.
The 27-year-old completed his hit a hat trick nine minutes into the second-half to give PSG a 4-0 lead.
William Pacho put through his own net 12 minutes from time to gift the Gerrmans a consolation goal. PSG's 15th place finish means they will be one of the eight seeded teams for the play-offs where they could play Brest or Monaco.
Other unseeded teams include Feyenoord, Juventus, Celtic, Manchester City, Sporting Lisbon and Club Brugge.
Adventure
Brest lost their final game of the group stages 3-0 at home to Real Madrid. Rodrygo opened the scoring for the defending champions mid-way through the first-half. England international Jude Bellingham doubled the advantage shortly after the pause. And Rodrygo completed his brace 12 minutes from time.
"We want to keep going and make even more history than we have already," said Brest goalkepper Marco Bizot. "And if we can continue to get results, why not."
Monaco, who were reduced to 10 men following Christian Mawissa's expulsion in the 13th minute, went down 3-0 at Inter Milan. Lauro Martinez was the star for the hosts with all three goals.
"We knew it would be a difficult match," Monaco midfielder Caio Henrique told the club's website. "Playing against Inter at the San Siro is always tough. We made mistakes right from the start.
"But we're leaving with our heads held high despite everything, and now we have to think about the next stage. The important thing is that we qualified and now we have to correct our mistakes for the next phase."
