Like Wenger, Jose Mourinho has had his detractors recently in the Spanish capital but his Real Madrid side turned on the style to brush aside Ajax.

Cristiano Ronaldo netted the first, Jose Callejon latched on to an exquisite Luka Modric pass to score the second and Kaka curled in a superb third. Callejon got his second near the end after Derk Boerrigter's consolation for Ajax.

Zenit secured their qualification for the Europa League with Portuguese winger Danny's first-half strike at Milan, who rested players having already qualified.

Seven-times European champions Milan might have expected to underline their pedigree by topping the group but that honour had already been secured by Malaga.

The competition debutants were held 2-2 at home by Anderlecht in their final game which was marred by clashes between police and visiting Belgian fans in the stands.

A stoppage-time penalty from substitute Ivan Krstanovic handed Dinamo Zagreb a first goal and point in Group A with a 1-1 draw at home to Dynamo Kiev but the match will be remembered for the difficult playing conditions in the Croatian capital.

Heavy snowfall forced a 15 minute delay early in the first half as the players were taken off for the pitch to be remarked in red paint.

The draw for the last 16, in which the eight group winners are paired with the eight runners-up, takes place on Dec 20.
