The group stage finished last night. Lots of familiar names through to this year's quarter finals. Six, indeed, former champions from this century, including holders Wydad Casablanca, Al-Ahly from Cairo, Tout Puissant Mazembe, Entente Setif, Esperance de Tunis and Etoile du Sahel. Another recent champion Mamelodi Sundowns failed to beat Horoya Conakry in their final group game and so went out to the team from Guinea.
Surprise quarter finalists are Primeiro de Agosto from Angola, who may be the first club to get to this stage of a continental competition to be named after their birthday.
