Following Tuesday and Wednesday’s Champions League round-of-16 ties, we now know four of the eight teams qualified for 2023-24 quarter-finals, with some familiar names still in the hunt for UEFA’s top club prize once again.

Bayern and PSG first to reach the last eight

In the first of this week’s last 16 games, 2010, 2013 and 2020 winners Bayern Munich had little difficulty overturning a 1-0 first-leg deficit against Lazio, with Harry Kane’s double in Germany leading the Bundesliga giants to a 3-1 aggregate triumph.

Also on Tuesday, Real Madrid target Kylian Mbappé stole the show in the second leg of Paris Saint-Germain’s tie against Real Sociedad, netting a brace in northern Spain as the 2020 runners-up completed a 4-1 win over the Basque side.

City make light work of Copenhagen, Madrid squeeze past Leipzig

On Wednesday, both 14-time champions Madrid and 2023 winners Manchester City were expected to progress to the quarter-finals with little bother after winning away from home in the first leg. And so it proved for City, with Copenhagen no match for the favourites to win this year’s comPetition once again. Los Blancos, however, had a rather more nervy time of it, sneaking through by a solitary goal after a draw at the Bernabeú.
