( CNN ) -- Manchester City booked its place in the last-16 of the Champions League following a 2-0 victory over Roma on Wednesday . Samir Nasri 's stunning 60th minute strike and Pablo Zabaleta 's late effort gave City all three points and secured second place in Group E behind Bayern Munich . Roma , who hit the post in the second half through Kostas Manolas , also had an effort cleared off the line . But City held out to ensure its place in the knockout phase of the competition . `` I think the performance of the team was amazing , '' Nasri told Sky Sports . `` It was important for me to score , after the surgery I took a while to get to my full level , now I am . '' The result was even more of an achievement for City given the absence of three of its star players . Sergio Aguero , who scored a hat-trick in the 3-2 win over Bayern Munich was ruled out with a knee injury , while captain Vincent Kompany failed to shake off a hamstring problem . City was also without its talisman midfielder Yaya Toure , who was suspended after being sent off during the 2-1 defeat by CSKA Moscow . A tense opening hour was finally brought to life by Nasri who produced a wonderful piece of skill to give his side the lead . The Frenchman 's shot from 20-yards flew off the post and into the net to stun the home side . Roma , now requiring two goals to progress , came close with Joe Hart making a number of important saves before Manolas ' header struck the post . The home side continued to push forward in search of an equalizer but Mattia Destro 's effort was hacked off the line as City 's nerves began to fray . But with four minutes of normal time remaining , City broke at speed and Nasri played in Zabaleta to fire into the far corner . `` We recovered our normal performance , playing good pressing and playing well with the ball , '' Manuel Pellegrini , the Manchester City manager , told Sky Sports . `` We are a solid team , we are recovering the ball in the correct way . I had a lot of trust in what we could do . I said I did n't want to talk about players not in the team . This team deserve a little more credit than the press always give us . '' Bayern Munich , which had already won the group , defeated CSKA Moscow 3-0 courtesy of goals from Thomas Muller , Sebastian Rode and Mario Gotze . In Group F , Barcelona sealed top spot with a convincing 3-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain . Zlatan Ibrahimovic , once of Barcelona , gave the visiting team the lead before Lionel Messi equalized with his 75th goal in the competition . Neymar and Luis Suarez added further strikes to ensure Barcelona will face a team which finished second in its group when the draw is made on Monday . In the same group , Ajax thrashed Cypriot side Apoel Nicosia 4-0 in Amsterdam . Chelsea rounded off its group stage campaign with a 3-1 win over Sporting Lisbon at Stamford Bridge . Cesc Fabregas , Andre Schurrle and Jon Obi Mikel scored the goals for Chelsea while Schalke 's 1-0 win at Maribor allowed the German club to take second spot in Group G. Elsewhere , Porto and Shakhtar , both already through to the next stage , drew 1-1 while Athletic Bilbao claimed a 2-0 win over Bate Borisov . The Belarussian side has the rather dubious honor of having conceded the most goals ever in the history of the competition 's group stage , beating the previous record of 22 held by Dinamo Zagreb and Nordsjaelland .
