Champions League: The teams that qualified for the knockout stages

Tottenham Hotspur and Eintracht got two ‘tickets’ for the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday after the remaining groups were decided from matchday 5 onwards.

In an exciting final, the two teams beat Marseille and Sporting and secured their place in the last 16 of the tournament.

In addition, the Portuguese continue to play in the play-offs for the round of 16 of the Europa League, as does Leverkusen, who have taken over 3rd place from Atletico in Group 2. The Madrid players were prematurely eliminated from Europe along with Marseille after finishing 4th in their group.

In Group 1, a clean win saw Napoli sit first and second ahead of Liverpool (a 2-0 win wasn’t enough for the English), while a matching clean win in Group 2 provided the surprise, with Porto in the thick of the draw November 7th and Bruges to the underdogs.

What will happen next?

The draw for the round of 16 will take place at the UEFA offices in Nyon on Monday 7 November at 13.00. The winners of the eight groups will be drawn with the runners-up. Teams that were together in the same group cannot be drawn again, nor can countries from the same confederation.

The first matches will take place on February 14, 15, 21 and 22, with the second on March 7, 8, 14 and 15 at the venues of the eight group winners.

The draw for the quarterfinals, semifinals and final will take place on March 17th.
