Champions League, the return of the round of 16: matches and TV times

Bologna, 10 March 2025 – The show of the Champions League non-stop, in a March tour de force before the international break in two weeks. In Serie A there is only Inter still in play and the quarter-finals, after the first leg won in Rotterdam, they are close, but the Nerazzurri also have to manage the fatigue of the championship and a now clear three-way battle with Napoli e Atalanta and a very compressed calendar until late April.

Between Tuesday and Wednesday all the return matches of the round of 16 will also take place, with matches that are substantially already on ice and others still to be decided and with great anticipation for the Madrid derby where Cholo Simeon will seek a comeback against Carlo's Real Ancelotti. Maximum attention also to Liverpool where the Reds took a small lead by winning at Paris a very hard-fought race. Everything was decided in London with the Arsenal who is coming off the 7-1 in Eindhoven and in Leverkusen with the Bayern called to manage the triple advantage gained in the first leg. Let's see all the qualification criteria.  

Read i first leg results

Inter vs Feyenoord

Inter will have to avoid getting distracted at the Meazza against Feyenoord and manage the victory in Rotterdam in the best possible way. zero to two from last week, there could have been three with Zielinski's penalty, provides a good advantage to the Nerazzurri who would advance to the next round by winning or drawing, while in the event of a defeat they will need to maintain a one-goal lead.

The Dutch, on the other hand, they must win by two goals for extra time and with three to advance to the next round. A very difficult mission for Van Persie's team, who had eliminated Milan, and Inzaghi had accumulated a good margin with the first leg. Obviously, a good approach will be needed to avoid Feyenoord scoring in the first minutes and reopening the challenge.  

Barcelona - Benfica

The goal of Rafinha He took the chestnuts out of the fire for the Blaugrana in the first leg in Lisbon, which was also played with one man less due to the expulsion of Cubarsi. He added the rest Szczesny with his saves cementing the result and in the return match in Barcelona Flick's team will advance to the next round by winning or drawing and will have to avoid defeats with a two-goal margin to be eliminated. In the event of a victory Benfica with one goal margin will be additional.  

Liverpool vs PSG

Same exact situation for Liverpool e Paris Saint Germain. Allisson worked miracles in Paris and Elliott's goal gave Slot an incredible victory, with unheard of suffering for ninety minutes. Luis Enrique will try to make a comeback in Anfield but will need to win by two goals (a narrow victory would mean extra time). The Reds instead have two results out of three at their disposal.  

Bayer Leverkusen-Bayern Munich

Situation desperate for the German champions of Bayer Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso's team lost the first leg 3-0, with some goalkeeping errors, and to advance they will have to win the return leg by four goals (with three there would be extra time). For Bayern, two results out of three available and the quarter-finals are quite close.  

Lille - Dortmund

All open between the French and the Germans. In Germany the first leg ended 1-1 and for the return leg the situation is as simple as possible: Whoever wins goes through to the next round. In the event of a draw after regulation time, regardless of the result given that the away goals rule no longer applies, the match will go to extra time.  

Aston Villa v Club Brugge

The situation is more clear in Birmingham for the return match between Aston and Bruges. The Belgians, who had Atalanta eliminated, were defeated at home by one to three and will have to win by three goals in the return match to advance to the next round. English just need to draw or avoid large defeats. In the event of a Bruges victory with a two-goal margin, the match will go to extra time.  

Arsenal vs PSV

Nothing to report in London given the great success of Eindhoven for the Arsenal by Arteta. The Gunners triumphed against PSV, who had eliminated Juve, by 1-7 and there are no dangers for the return match. Suffice it to say that the Dutch would have to win by seven goals to advance to the next round…  

Atletico Madrid-Real Madrid

It's the most anticipated challenge of the week and balance reigns supreme. The Real won the first leg at home 2-1, but theAtletico is still in the running and winning the return leg would reopen the game. The Colchoneros can win by one goal to drag the challenge to extra time and by two to advance to the next round. Real, on the other hand, can draw to access the quarterfinals. At the Wanda Metropolitano there is great tension and passion.
