The UEFA Champions League knockout stage is underway, with the first four matches of the last-16 having completed their first-leg ties. Manchester City, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain all took important leads from their opening European matches from 2024 and know what they have to do to keep their campaigns alive.
After a strong performance in Denmark, City will host Copenhagen in the second leg confident that they can hold onto the two-goal lead they secured thanks to a 3-1 win. Madrid, on the other hand, secured a narrow victory from their trip to face RB Leipzig but will be determined to make sure they keep that one-goal lead when they meet again in the Santiago Bernabéu.
From Wednesday's matches, Bayern suffered a second consecutive setback when they were beaten 1-0 by Lazio in Rome, while it was business as usual for Kylian Mbappe as he helped fire Paris Saint-Germain to victory against Real Sociedad.
