BREAKING! Shakhtar end City's unbeaten run
Brazilian midfielder Bernard celebrates his opener
Manchester City's 28-match unbeaten run came to an end after losing 2-1 at Shakhtar Donetsk in their final Champions League Group C clash.
Jubilant Shakhtar, who needed only a point to qualify for the last 16, gained victory thanks to Bernard's fine curling effort (26) and Ismaily's simple finish (32) after City goalkeeper Ederson had committed himself outside of the box.
Sergio Aguero's injury-time penalty (90+1) halved the deficit, but the final result puts an end to City's fine run in all competitions, going back to April, as well as their 20-match winning streak from this season.
City had already secured top spot in the group before the game, and the draw for the last 16 of the Champions League will be at 11am on Monday, which you can follow live on Sky Sports' digital platforms.
With all group tables decided, Pep Guardiola's side will face either Bayern Munich, Basel, Juventus, Sevilla, Porto or holders Real Madrid.
What's next
City now go to rivals Manchester United on Super Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League from 4.30pm, before then going to Swansea on Wednesday night. They will find out their last 16 opponents in the next draw.
