Paris Saint-Germain scraped into the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday after a 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund as Newcastle lost to AC Milan in the group's other game.

In danger of a first group-stage exit since the Qatari takeover in 2011, PSG came from a goal down to earn the point that sent them through as Group F runners-up. Dortmund secured top spot with Milan third, behind PSG on head-to-head goal difference, and Newcastle finishing bottom.

Despite the result, PSG's timid showing means Luis Enrique's side have plenty to do if they wish to go much further on the European stage.

"We are still alive. No team will hope to play us in the next round," said the PSG coach.

"We're happy but we know we could have done better," Warren Zaire-Emery told broadcaster Canal Plus.

"We played well, but football is like that at times, sometimes the ball just doesn't want to go in."

"We're far from the finished article," PSG captain Marquinhos said. "We're going to have to prepare well and prepare better because bigger opponents are on the way."

Dortmund will avoid several of the competition favourites including holders Manchester City and Real Madrid, both possible last-16 opponents for PSG, in the draw to be held on Monday.

Dortmund will play in the knockouts for the fifth time in six seasons, although they have only reached the quarter-finals once since 2017.

"Of course, you can't play against a team like Paris without the opponent getting chances," said Dortmund boss Edin Terzic.

"In the end, we worked hard to win this group."
