UEFA Champions League R16 Return Leg - 11 March 2025

11 March 2025

Liverpool FC vs. Paris St-Germain

First leg: 1-0

After scoring a late winner in the first leg, Liverpool must be the favourites to win this tie. This comes despite the fact that they were completely outplayed away in Paris. But the atmosphere with the home crowed at Anfield Road is something different and helped Liverpool to many famous wins already.

Inter Milan vs. Feyenoord Rotterdam

First leg: 2-0

A comfortable lead from the first leg should help Inter at booking their spot in the quarter-finals. Feyenoord may still see a little chance, but scoring two goals at least away at San Siro is a big task ahead of them.

FC Barcelona vs. SL Benfica

First leg: 1-0

Playing with 10 men for a long time in the first leg, Barcelona still managed to come away with a small win away in Lisbon. Now it's all about defending that lead after an emotional week for Barça, which included a cancelled game on the weekend following the death of their team doctor.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs. FC Bayern München

First leg: 0-3

Bayern take a big lead into the second leg here. Slightly more complicated could be the travel situation. With transport strikes all across the country, it may not seem guaranteed that they will arrive in time by plane.

Four matches and one goal each - UEFA Champions League KO Playoffs Return Leg 18 February 2025

AC Milan vs. Feyenoord Rotterdam

18.45h CET, San Siro, Milan

First leg: 1-1

It was feisty in Rotterdam on Wednesday night. Feyenoord took an early lead thanks to Paixao's strike in the third minute of the game. But Milan tried their best to fight back into the game. They just could not quite get there and thus take a slight deficit into their home match at San Siro.

FC Bayern München vs. Celtic Glasgow

21.00h CET, Fussball Arena München

Already before the first leg at Parkhead, there were questions over Celtic's away support in Munich. The fans were facing a ban that in the end did not materialize. This means that many hundreds or possibly thousands of Celtic supporters will flood Bavaria's capital and create a great atmosphere on and off the field. Pictures from the 2024 EURO in Germany are still in people's minds. Famously, the Scotland supporters won over the hearts of the German hosts back then, creating an admiring friendship that will hopefully last for a long time.

Atalanta Bergamo vs. Club Brugge

21.00h CET, Gewiss Stadium, Bergamo

First leg: 1-2

The Belgian champions take a small lead into the second leg of their tie with Atalanta. This should not mean that they are huge favourites however. After all, Atalanta is very strong at home and might easily fight back to erase the deficit.

SL Benfica vs. AS Monaco

21.00h CET, Estadio da Luz, Lisbon

First leg: 1-0

Benfica managed to get a lead in the first leg away from home and will now try and defend this lead for sure. As with any other tie this Tuesday night, there is only one goal's difference in it, so many things are yet to play for.

Bayern going big against Celtic & more - UEFA Champions League Play-Offs First Leg 12 February 2025

Celtic Glasgow vs. FC Bayern München

21.00h CET (20.00h local time), Celtic Park, Glasgow

When teams travel to Glasgow for a game against Celtic, many fans join them to enjoy the atmosphere at one of the loudest stadiums in Europe. Bayern travel to Glasgow with ITA Airways and there will be fan charter flights with Lufthansa and TUI from Munich to Glasgow. On the sports side, Bayern should be favourites of Celtic who play a reasonable international season for their standards.

AS Monaco vs. SL Benfica

21.00h CET, Stade Louis II, Monte Carlo

On paper, this should be the tightest of the eight ties in the playoffs. AS Monaco finished in 17th position, with Benfica just one spot above. Coincidentally, these teams already met in the league phase, where Benfica managed to win away in Monaco, outscoring the hosts 3-2. Benfica turned the game around really late at that time, with goals from former FC Basel Players Arthur Cabral and Zeki Amdouni.

Feyenoord Rotterdam vs. AC Milan

21.00h CET, De Kuip, Rotterdam

Coming off a resounding win over FC Bayern, Feyenoord are facing another traditional giant of European football. AC Milan finished higher up in the league phase, so they will get to play the second leg of this tie at home.

Club Brugge vs. Atalanta Bergamo

18.45h CET, Jan Breydel Stadion, Brugge

Of all the eight ties in this play-off round, Brugge vs Atlanta sees the teams with the biggest points difference overall. Brugge just about made it into this round while Atalanta closely missed out on a direct qualification for the round of 16. Atalanta are the big favourites, but Jan Breydel Stadion is never an easy place for any away side.

Small teams but big trips - UEFA Champions League MD7 22 January 2025

The penultimate round of the League Phase goes into the second day with another nine fixtures across Europe. By the end of these matches, some more entrants to the round of 16 and the play-off phase will be known for sure.

22 January 2025

RB Leipzig vs. Sporting CP

34th/0 pts vs. 17th/10 pts

18.45h CET, Leipzig

Formerly a powerhouse of Champions League football, Leipzig found life really difficult this season. With zero points from six games, they are in the bottom group without a chance on making the knockout stages. Sporting need some points from this game to stay in the competition and maybe still make it directly into the round of 16.

AC Milan vs. Girona FC

12th/12 pts vs. 30th/3 pts

21.00h CET, San Siro, Milan

After a promising start, Girona have tailed off considerably in the last few matches of the league phase. They are now playing for pure survival and need points from the away game in Milan. This does not promise to be an easy task however. It has historically been proven that San Siro is a very difficult place to win a game as the away side.

Real Madrid vs. RB Salzburg

20th/9 pts vs. 32nd/3 pts

21.00h CET, Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid

No matter the situation on the table, away days at the mighty Bernabeu are always big for smaller teams. That Salzburg is making that trip with quite a lot of supporters should not be a surprise in this context. On the field however, Salzburg need a win or they go bust with one game to spare in the league phase. Real's rather low position on the table will not help the visitors however, even if Real are in some injury misery and therefore cannot count on their full squad for this important match.

Sparta Prague vs. Inter Milan

28th/4 pts vs. 6th/13 pts

21.00h CET, Prague

The situation on the table could not be more different for both these sides. Sparta will be trying their best to add to their four points in order to save a spot in the knock-out stages. Most probably, they will need two wins from two games to stand a chance for that though. Inter on their hand are looking for a finish in the top 8 and will therefore look to get maximum points from this fixture themselves.

Shakhtar Donezk vs. Stade Brestois

27th/4 pts vs. 7th/13 pts

18.45h, Arena auf Schalke, Gelsenkirchen

The French visitors are still flying high and look like the favourites for this match. They surely want to maintain their good run and beat Shakhtar to improve their chances for a direct entry into the round of 16.

Arsenal vs. Dinamo Zagreb

3rd/13 pts vs. 24th/8 pts

21.00h CET (20.00h local time), Emirates Stadium, London

Dinamo sit right on the edge of making it to the next stage of the competition. They face a lot of pressure from teams like PSG or VfB Stuttgart from behind however. A trip to London may not be the easiest thing in this situation. After all, Arsenal sit pretty well on the table, with 13 points from six matches.

OU1490 ZAG 1130-1235 STN A320 9A-CTK (21/01/25)

Celtic Glasgow vs BSC Young Boys

21st/9 pts vs. 36th/0 pts

21.00h CET (20.00h local time), Celtic Park, Glasgow

It is one final away trip for Young Boys before their European campaign is over. They will face a Celtic side in fine European form that still dreams of making it through to the knockout stages. YB on their side will hope to finally get some points from the league phase however. They are one of three teams already eliminated before the penultimate round of the league phase.

Feyenoord Rotterdam vs. FC Bayern München

18th/10 pts vs. 10th/12 pts

21.00h, De Kuip, Rotterdam

Leaders of the German Bundesliga, Bayern travel to Rotterdam to improve their chances on a direct entry into the round of 16. Before the game, they sit just behind the top 8, but a win should help them to put pressure on direct opponents like Borussia Dortmund or the French competitors from Lille and Brest.

LH2570 MUC 1720-1900 RTM A21N D-AIEL (21/01/25)

Paris St-Germain vs. Manchester City

25th/7 pts vs. 22nd/8 pts

21.00h, Parc des Princes, Paris

Both these teams sit surprisingly low in the table. PSG absolutely need points to at least make it into the knockout stages. A direct entry into the round of 16 seems almost impossible already. Man City face similar challenges, although at least they got one more point from their previous six matches.
