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.

Girona FC vs. Liverpool FC

30th / 3 pts vs. 1st / 15 pts

Already certain of a spot in the knock-out stages in 2025, Liverpool could already make sure to avoid the play-off round and qualify directly for the round of 16. Girona fight for survival in the Champions League however, so it remains to be seen how much resistance they will manage to come up with.

23rd / 7 pts vs. 20th / 8 pts

Both these teams sit right on the edge of making it to the play-off round in February. They need full points from this round though, because Real Madrid and PSG sitting behind them will definitely look to improve. It will be a big day out for the Celtic supporters who are set to travel to Zagreb with several Jet2 Boeing 737 aircraft.

Atalanta Bergamo vs. Real Madrid

5th / 11 pts vs. 24th / 6 pts

One would have expected Real Madrid higher up in the table. But just the two wins and three losses already make them have to fight for every single point. Atalanta will be no push-overs at all and will give them a fight until the last minute for the valuable points.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs. Inter Milan

6th / 10 pts vs. 2nd / 13 pts

Bayer face opponents from Milan for the second time in this year's UEFA Champions League. This time round, it is a proper top-of-the-table clash with two teams definitely looking for a finish in the top 8.

NO9140 MXP xxxx-1810 CGN B738 (09/12/24)

Club Brugge vs. Sporting CP

22nd / 7 pts vs. 10th / 10 pts

The visitors from Lisbon are looking for points to make the top 8, while Brugge might look at just about defending their spot on the table.

FC Salzburg vs. Paris St-Germain

32nd / 3 pts vs. 25th / 4 pts

Two of Europe's best teams in recent years have been struggling all season long. While PSG are at least leading their own league, Salzburg are also struggling domestically. Will this round already be the end of their Champions League hopes this season? The same goes for the mighty PSG however.

26th / 4 pts vs. 13th / 9 pts

A domestic trip to Gelsenkirchen for the German giants Bayern. It remains uncertain whether they will use an aircraft at all.

RB Leipzig vs. Aston Villa

34th / 0 pts vs. 9th / 10 pts

One of the surprises in this season's UCL definitely is Aston Villa. They have a big chance of getting more points at the so far unlucky RB Leipzig.

Stade Brestois vs. PSV Eindhoven

11th / 10 pts vs. 18th / 8 pts

In midfield, more points are key for any team. Brest could make a huge step towards the next round with a win. But also PSV could remain in contention if they manage to beat the French surprise package in Brittany.
