The second leg of the Champions League knockout play-offs has all been played, and the 8 play-off teams that have advanced to the Champions League 1/8 finals have been born, namelyBayern, Benfica, Club Brugge, Feyenoord, Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Paris, PSV Eindhoven。 The three big teams in Serie A (Atalanta, AC Milan, Juventus) were eliminated against teams from the non-top five leagues, which was really stretching.

Atalanta were beaten 1-2 away and 1-3 at home by Club Brugge (Belgian League), AC Milan was eliminated 0-1 away and 1-1 at home by Feyenoord (Eredivisie), and Juventus were eliminated 2-1 at home and 1-3 away by PSV Eindhoven (Eredivisie).

Plus the 8 teams that made it to the last 16 of the Champions League (Liverpool, Barcelona, Arsenal, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, Lille, Aston VillaAll 16 teams participating in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League were born, and Inter Milan became the only seed in Serie A.
