Premier League leaders Chelsea battled to a 1-1 draw in their last-16 first-leg game at Paris St Germain but were stunned when 10-man PSG fought back to draw 2-2 and progress on away goals.
Arsenal would have been delighted to draw Monaco in the last 16 but imploded in a 3-1 defeat in the first leg in London, a spirited 2-0 victory in the Principality proving insufficient to stop the Ligue 1 team advancing on away goals.
At least Chelsea and Arsenal survived the group stage.
Liverpool, Premier League runners-up behind Manchester City last season, failed to get to the knockout stages, finishing third in a group behind Real Madrid and Swiss champions Basel.
All of which left Everton as the only English side left in European competition this season.
They take a 2-1 lead to Dynamo Kiev in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 clash on Thursday.
But however far Roberto Martinez's team go in the second-tier competition, it has been a chastening season for the Premier League abroad.
