Holders Liverpool secured safe passage through to the last 16 of the Champions League with a win at RB Salzburg, while Ajax's defeat at home to Valencia saw them miss out on a place in the knockouts.
Last season's semi-finalists were not the only big-name casualty as Inter Milan also missed out while Carlo Ancelotti was sacked by Napoli despite guiding the Italian club successfully through the group phase.
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool needed at least a point in Austria to keep alive their bid to retain the European Cup, but the champions left no room for doubt with a 2-0 victory courtesy of two goals in two second-half minutes, by Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah.
Guinea midfielder Keita opened the scoring against his old club in the 57th minute, heading home a Sadio Mane cross. Salah sealed victory from a tight angle after rounding home goalkeeper Cican Stankovic.
The victory ensured the Liverpool won Group E ahead of Napoli, who walloped bottom-club Genk 4-0, while Salzburg are out and drop into the Europa League instead.
"What a team," Klopp told BT Sport. "What an effort. It was a tough game."
"We scored two wonderful goals. We could have scored six or seven which is crazy. We won the group, we won the game, all good."
The sheen was taken off Napoli's night somewhat with the news that Ancelotti had been dismissed in the wake of the home win over Genk.
Arkadisuz Milik's first-half hat-trick and a Dries Mertens penalty proved too much for the Belgian club, snapping a nine-match winless run.
Napoli released a statement hours after the final whistle saying they had parted company with the 60-year-old Italian after just under one-and-a-half seasons.
"Napoli has decided to revoke the position of first-team coach from Carlo Ancelotti," it read. "The relationship of friendship, esteem and mutual respect between the club, its president Aurelio De Laurentiis and Carlo Ancelotti remain intact."
There was high drama in Group H as Valencia beat Ajax 1-0 in Amsterdam.
Rodrigo Moreno's strike took the Spaniards through to the last 16 despite them finishing the game with 10 men following a straight red card for Gabriel Paulista after the defender decked Dusan Tadic with a butt to the head in injury time.
Frank Lampard's Chelsea progressed in second place, a point ahead of the Dutch giants, as a result of a 2-1 victory against Lille.
Tammy Abraham and Cesar Azpilicueta were on the scoresheet for the Londoners, who held on after former Blues striker Loic Remy pulled one back for Lille.
Chelsea, the 2012 Champions League winners, finish level on points with Valencia but come second due to their inferior head-to-head record.
Meanwhile, Lyon went through in dramatic fashion in Group G, coming from behind to draw 2-2 with RB Leipzig.
The Germans were two goals ahead at half time thanks to two penalties, one scored by Emil Forsberg and the other by Timo Werner.
However, Houssem Aouar's curler gave Lyon hope just after the break and Memphis Depay levelled matters with eight minutes left.
Leipzig win the group, while the draw proved enough for Lyon to finish second because Zenit Saint Petersburg lost 3-0 to Benfica in Lisbon.

What is the FNC?
The Federal National Council is one of five federal authorities established by the UAE constitution. It held its first session on December 2, 1972, a year to the day after Federation.
It has 40 members, eight of whom are women. The members represent the UAE population through each of the emirates. Abu Dhabi and Dubai have eight members each, Sharjah and Ras al Khaimah six, and Ajman, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain have four.
They bring Emirati issues to the council for debate and put those concerns to ministers summoned for questioning.
The FNC’s main functions include passing, amending or rejecting federal draft laws, discussing international treaties and agreements, and offering recommendations on general subjects raised during sessions.
Federal draft laws must first pass through the FNC for recommendations when members can amend the laws to suit the needs of citizens. The draft laws are then forwarded to the Cabinet for consideration and approval.
Since 2006, half of the members have been elected by UAE citizens to serve four-year terms and the other half are appointed by the Ruler’s Courts of the seven emirates.
In the 2015 elections, 78 of the 252 candidates were women. Women also represented 48 per cent of all voters and 67 per cent of the voters were under the age of 40.

Why it pays to compare
A comparison of sending Dh20,000 from the UAE using two different routes at the same time - the first direct from a UAE bank to a bank in Germany, and the second from the same UAE bank via an online platform to Germany - found key differences in cost and speed. The transfers were both initiated on January 30.
Route 1: bank transfer
The UAE bank charged Dh152.25 for the Dh20,000 transfer. On top of that, their exchange rate margin added a difference of around Dh415, compared with the mid-market rate.
Total cost: Dh567.25 - around 2.9 per cent of the total amount
Total received: €4,670.30
Route 2: online platform
The UAE bank’s charge for sending Dh20,000 to a UK dirham-denominated account was Dh2.10. The exchange rate margin cost was Dh60, plus a Dh12 fee.
Total cost: Dh74.10, around 0.4 per cent of the transaction
Total received: €4,756
The UAE bank transfer was far quicker – around two to three working days, while the online platform took around four to five days, but was considerably cheaper. In the online platform transfer, the funds were also exposed to currency risk during the period it took for them to arrive.
