Champions League day 6: Barcelona are out of the Champions League. Bad results early on together with a draw on the final day between Milan and Leeds left them in third place in their group, despite beating Besiktas 5-0 in their last match, with goals from Luis Enrique (2), Cocu, Rivaldo (penalty) and Gabri. They do however still qualify for the next round of the UEFA cup. Deportivo La Coruña played out their last match at Hamburg knowing they were already qualified for the next stage of the Champions League. They still did enough to draw 1-1, with Makaay coming on at half time and equalising an earlier goal by Mahdavikia. The Gallicians finished group champions and were the only team to remain undefeated for the six games. (08.11.00)

Real Madrid and Valencia finshed the first group stage as leaders of their respective groups, despite disappointing results with teams packed with reserve players. Real Madrid lost 1-0 to Spartak Moscow in group A with a Geremi own goal just after half time, and Valencia drew at home 1-1 with Heerenveen. Diego Alonso got their goal in the tenth minute, but Venema equalised before the break. (07.11.00)
