Girona

Lima was found dead in a poultry shed attached to a farmhouse in Spain's Girona province in August 2018.

But instead of his £100m man, Guardiola turned to relatively untested Brazilian Savinho - a £30.8m signing from Girona last summer - to lead the salvage operation.

Bologna, Sparta Prague, Leipzig, Girona, Red Star Belgrade, Sturm Graz and Salzburg also found themselves without anything to play for and, unlike in previous years, there is no consolation prize of Europa League football for anyone leaving the Champions League.

After Wednesday's Champions League win against Girona, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta would not be drawn on potential transfers, but said: "My confidence is that we have an amazing club with people always working to try and improve. Let's see what happens."

Arsenal - away at Girona - are all but in the last 16 as they sit three points clear of the play-offs with a much better goal difference than any team on 13 points.
