5 - Kairat Almaty managed to keep another home clean sheet - as they did in all four of their UCL qualifying round matches - as they needed penalties to beat Celtic. Neither side could find the back of the net across 210 minutes of play, with the Kazakh side's goalkeeper Temirlan Anarbekov saving three penalties as his team prevailed 4-2.
It will be their maiden appearance in the UCL proper. For Celtic, they have failed to reach the group phase of the Champions League via the qualifying rounds for the fifth straight time.
3 - Bodo/Glimt's remarkable rise has reached a whole new level, as the Norwegian outfit advanced 6-2 on aggregate over Sturm Graz despite losing 2-1 on the night. The club from the Arctic Circle has ended their nation's 18-year wait for a team in the main rounds of the Champions League.
Sturm can still take solace in the result: they are now on a three-game winning streak in European home matches, something they have not done since 2000/01. Ironically, they got past the qualifying rounds on that occasion.
8 - History was made for Cyprus' Paphos, who scored an 89th-minute goal to help them claim a 1-1 draw at home to Crvena zvezda and, more crucially, a 3-2 aggregate win. The result was Red Star's seventh stalemate versus Cypriot opposition (3-7-1) as they fell to the Europa League proper.
As for Paphos, they will enjoy their maiden showing in the UCL league phase, becoming the third Cypriot team to do so. It ends an eight-year wait for the nation to have a club at this stage of the tournament.
1 - FC Kobenhavn will enjoy a seventh campaign in the Champions League main rounds after getting past FC Basel 2-0 at home and 3-1 across the two legs. It is the third time in four years that the 16-time Danish champions will be involved at this stage of Europe's premier club competition. More impressively, FCK conceded just once in their six qualifying round matches this summer, keeping five clean sheets. That is six less than they let in two years ago.
6 - Club Brugge finished off Rangers in style, prevailing 6-0 in Belgium, completing a 9-1 aggregate success. That allows the 1977/78 European Cup finalists to play in the UCL group phase for the seventh time in eight years.
They are the only ones of the seven sides who have progressed to win all of their matches. Blauw-Zwart have impressed in UCL qualifying in recent years, as Wednesday night's win was their sixth in a row in such games. They are even unbeaten in eight qualifiers in the tournament (7-1-0).
20 - They did it the hard way, but Benfica are back in the main round. As Aguias edged Fenerbahce 1-0 on the night and overall to make it through. Karem Akturkoglu's goal 10 minutes before the half did the trick for the two-time European Cup winners, who did not concede in their four qualifying round matches.
Their reward is a 20th appearance in the Champions League proper, the most of the seven teams who made it through. Moreover, the Lisbon-based club have successfully negotiated UCL qualifying in their last four trips.
13 - Qarabag will enjoy their second-ever showing in the UCL proper after getting past Ferencvaros 5-4 on aggregate. The Hungarians did prevail 3-2 on the road, but it was not enough to overturn their first-leg deficit.
The Azeri side's eight-year wait for a crack at UCL football in the fall is over. For Fradi, they drop to the Europa League for the second year running despite winning a playoff round game for the first time in six attempts. They also scored 13 times in UCL qualifying this summer, a tally only bettered by the side who knocked them out (Qarabag scored 15).
