Bodo/Glimt pull off historic shock
16 - Atletico Madrid are through to the last 16 once again thanks to a solid second half display against Club Brugge. Alexander Sorloth netted a hat-trick for the hosts in a 4-1 defeat of the Belgians, progressing 7-4 on aggregate. Having been eliminated in the round of 16 last term, Diego Simeone's men will look to find a way through this time around. Atleti have now scored in their last 16 UCL home games.
8 - Club Brugge, who made it to the last 16 in their last two appearances in the competition, could not keep up with Los Rojiblancos in the second half, which contributed to their defeat. Still, the side that started their UCL campaign in the third qualifying round will exit with their heads held high. They have, however, conceded in each of their last eight knockout round games in Europe.
3 - The upset of this season's Champions League was confirmed at San Siro on Tuesday night, where Inter Milan succumbed to a second loss to Bodo/Glimt. Despite having all of the possession and chances, the Nerazzurri fell 2-1 on the night, completing a 5-2 aggregate reverse. After making two of the last three finals, the Serie A pacesetters are out early. They have lost three straight home games in the same European season for the very first time.
12 - Bodo/Glimt's fairytale campaign continues, as they notched their fourth successive win. It is a remarkable story for a side who have not played a competitive match domestically since November. It is also a moment of revenge for Bodo, who were soundly beaten by Inter in the 1978/79 UEFA Cup Winners Cup. Their success on the road marked a 12th European away match won for the Norwegians in their history.
11 - Sandro Tonali, Joelinton, and Sven Botman got on the board for Newcastle as they finished off Qarabag with a 3-2 victory at St. James' Park. Across the two legs, the Magpies prevailed 6-3, allowing them to make the round of 16 for the first time. England will have six teams at that stage of the UCL, something that has never happened in any UEFA club competition. During what is now a four-game home winning streak, Newcastle have scored11 times.
4 - Unsurprisingly, Qarabag's UCL journey is over. It will certainly be a run that the Azeri champions will never forget. They did concede quite a few goals, though, with their clean sheet against FC Kobenhavn on matchday 2 being the only time they kept their opponents out. The focus will now be to try and retain their domestic title, something that is proving quite difficult for them. Qarabag leave the Champions League scene having lost their last four away games, a first for them.
5 - Bayer Leverkusen are also back in the round of 16 after holding Olympiakos Piraeus to a 0-0 draw at home. Die Werkself move on thanks to their 2-0 aggregate win, and will now try to do what they could not last season - win their last 16 tie. It was a very even match at the BayArena, with both teams having seven shots and one on target. Nevertheless, Bayer held on to keep their fifth clean sheet in the UCL this term. They managed that number of European shutouts for the third year running.
13 - Olympiakos will be disappointed that they could not repeat the magic from matchday 7, when they defeated their German opponent. This time, there was no finding the back of the net, ending their hopes of making it to the round of 16 for the first time since 2013/14. The Greeks did something they rarely ever do in a continental tie, which was fail to score. It has been 13 years since Olympiakos failed to score in a two-legged knockout round tie.
Atalanta pull off comeback
6 - Lamar Samardzic's penalty in the 98th minute, which was the last kick of the game, sparked massive celebrations for Atalanta fans as they overcame their 2-0 first leg loss to beat Borussia Dortmund 4-1 at home. La Dea progressed 4-3 overall in what was a back-and-forth encounter. It will be the third time that Atalanta will be involved in the last 16 of the UCL, something the club will relish. They also won a two-legged tie in the UCL for the second time, the other occasion coming six years ago.
41 - Dortmund were left heartbroken at full-time, having thrown away a two-goal lead in the tie to fall at the hands of the side they knocked out of the Europa League eight years ago. Matches involving Die Schwarzgelben in the UCL have been quite the entertainment. Perhaps it is fitting they exit off the back of a five-goal game. In total, there were 41 goals scored in games involving the Germans this campaign.
14 - Just as they did last term, Paris Saint-Germain advance from the knockout playoffs at the expense of a Ligue 1 side. This time, however, they were made to work for it. A 2-2 draw against 10-man AS Monaco completed a 5-4 aggregate win for the defending champions. Just two minutes after having the man advantage, Marquinhos scored what proved to be the winner for PSG, who will partake in the last 16 of the UCL for the 14th season running.
21 - It is the end of the road for Monaco, who once again fall at the knockout round playoffs. A red card in both legs played a pivotal role in their downfall, as perhaps they could have posed even more of a threat to PSG had the matches remained 11-on-11. Still, Les Monegasques were always in for a tough ask in this tie. For the fifth two-legged tie in a row, they failed to advance. During that time, they have conceded a whopping 21 goals from those 10 matches.
22 - Juventus, like Monaco, were also punished for being unable to keep 11 men on the pitch. Although the Italian giants fought back to force extra time against Galatasaray, the challenge of playing a man down came back to haunt them. Two goals during the extra 30-minute period saw the Turks prevail 7-5 on aggregate. Juve won the match 3-2 on the night, but it was not enough. La Vecchia Signora notched their second win in the head-to-head, with the other coming 22 years ago in the group stage.
10 - What a story it is for Galatasaray, who will be involved in the last 16 for the first time in 12 years. The Turks made things more difficult for themselves than they had to, but in the end, Victor Osimhen came to the rescue to send them through. Their away form is a cause for concern, though, winning just once in their last 13. Moreover, they have failed to win any of their last 10 on the road, in which they conceded multiple goals.
24 - Real Madrid are through once more thanks to a 2-1 home success at Benfica's expense. That results in 15-time champions making it to the last 16 yet again, a common thing for them. They now have three wins over their Portuguese opponent, evening the head-to-head. Los Blancos will be a side to watch as they look to extend their record for the number of UCL trophies. They head to the next stage with a total of 24 goals scored this term in the tournament.
7 - Benfica's Champions League run is done, but they will consider themselves lucky it even got this far. Having lost their first four league phase games, it looked like they would be set for an early exit. Yet, they rattled off three wins in their last four, including one against Real on matchday 8. This time, the Spanish giants proved to be too much for them. Wednesday's loss was their seventh of the season, the most they have ever had in a European campaign.
