Manchester City took back the lead and added two more goals in teh second half after John Stones’s own goal canceled out Phil Foden’s opener to get Club Brugge to break on level terms.

 

RB Leipzig had their chances to win at home against Paris St. Germain and missed it.
Gianluigi Donnarumma’s penalty save in the 12th minute denied RB Leipzig an early chance to double the lead. A clinical Paris St. Germain was a goal up before the halftime break after goals from Georginio Wijnaldum.
Kylian Mbappe had two of the best chances in the second half to increase PSG’s lead but couldn’t convert on the counter. The missed opportunities came back to haunt PSG when a late penalty call allowed Dominik Szoboszlai to score the equalizing goal in the second minute of the additional time.

Another game, another win for Liverpool (against Atletico Madrid). Just like in the reverse fixture, Atletico Madrid ended up playing with a numerical disadvantage after Felipe was sent off on a red card in the 36th minute while his side was already two goals down.
Trent Alexander-Arnold assisted both of Liverpool’s goals to get them a 2-0 win that carried them to the Round of 16.

 

In a desperate need for a win, the best AC Milan could do at home was coming back from a goal down to deny Porto the win.

Ajax booked their place in the Round of 16 with goals in the final 20 minutes. Even though Mat Hummel was sent off right before the 30th-minute mark, it was Dortmund that was first to get the lead.

Sporting CP left no doubt at the end of the first round when they took to the break a 3-0 lead to be eventual 4-0 winners against Besiktas.
