Arsenal, Basel, Austria Vienna, Schalke and Steaua Bucharest are all through to the Champions League, after scaling the two leg qualifying hurdle.
Aaron Ramsey was the star for Arsenal with a brace in their 2-0 victory over Fenerbahce, though qualification was already in the bag after a 3-0 away win.
On target
Basel also swept through 6-2 on aggregate past Bulgarians Ludogorets.
Italian Federico Piovaccari was on target yet again for Steaua Bucharest, as a 2-2 draw away to Legia Warsaw put them through on away goals, 3-3 on aggregate.
Austria Vienna were surprise qualifiers for the group phase, squeezing through 4-3 on aggregate despite a 3-2 home defeat against Dinamo Zagreb.
Decisive
Bundesliga side Schalke 04 also scraped through 4-3 on aggregate against Greek team PAOK.
The first leg ended 1-1 in Germany, but 19-year-old Julian Draxler was decisive in Athens with a goal and an assist for Hungarian international Adam Szalai’s brace.
Play-offs
The 3-2 away victory was sealed in stoppages despite a double PAOK comeback on the night.
The Champions League play-offs continue on Wednesday with Milan v PSV, Zenit v Pacos Ferreira, Maribor v Plzen, Celtic v Shakhter and Real Sociedad v Lyon.
