And Aston Villa quickly solved the question of the winner of the two-legged tie because they won 3:1 away from Club Breeze. The visitors took the lead in the third minute, and the home team equalized ten minutes later, and that result was in effect until the 82nd minute when Mehele scored an own goal, and that broke the home team, which the visitors took advantage of with Asensio's goal from the penalty spot in the 88th minute. It seems that this will be an unattainable advantage for the Belgians in the second leg, but since everything is possible in football, they should not be described yet.

In the city derby of Madrid, Real won 2:1. All three goals were extremely beautiful, and Rodrigo was the first to score in the fourth minute. Alvarez equalized in the 32nd minute, and at the beginning of the second half of the game, Diaz gave the home team the lead again, which was the final result of the match. This outcome guarantees us a spectacle in the rematch and a fight until the referee's final whistle.

More was expected from Borussia Dortmund at home, but the final result was 1:1, which gave them and Lille equal chances to advance. Adeyemi put the home team in the lead in the middle of the first half, and the guests reached a tie in the middle of the second, which was the final result, the only draw in these eight months of the round of 16.

The most convincing victory, which certainly no one expected, was achieved by Arsenal. The Gunners won 7:1 against PSV, and pretty much humiliated the home team in front of their fans. Already in the 31st minute, it was 3:0 for the guests, and Lang, with a goal from the penalty spot a few minutes before the end of the first half, gave the hosts hope that they could equalize. All their hopes were extinguished very quickly because Arsenal scored two goals in two minutes at the beginning of the second half of the game, and then two more until the end of the match and thus inflicted a huge defeat on PSV, already after the first month secured passage, because it is very difficult to believe that PSV can achieve this.

Inter routinely won in Rotterdam over Feyenoord 2:0. The guests took the lead through Tiram in the 38th minute, and Lautaro Martinez made it 2:0 at the start of the second half. Zelinski had a chance from the penalty spot in the 65th minute to make it 3:0, but his attempt from the penalty spot was saved by Wellenreuther. With this victory, Inter stepped into the quarter-finals with one foot, and it is expected that they will routinely do the job in the second leg in front of their fans.

The German teams' derby did not give us the expected suspense as Bayern overcame Leverkusen 3-0, thanks to two goals from Harry Kane. In the 62nd minute, the guests remained with one player less until the end, I could not score at least one goal that would bring them hope in the rematch, although they had several opportunities. However, Bayer's early goal in the second leg in front of their fans could complicate the situation, and we'll see if they succeed in that.

More was expected from the duel between Benfica and Barcelona, knowing that nine goals were recently scored in the last match, but now this match had much more weight and in the end, Barcelona won with a 1:0 goal by Rafinha. There were a lot of opportunities for the hosts during the whole match, they even had the I player more than 22. Minutes because Kubarsi earned a direct exclusion, but the "eagles" were not able to take advantage. They are certainly only one goal behind, so everything is still open in the second leg, although Barcelona will be the big favorites.

PSG had a great start to the match against Liverpool at home, and as a result, Quarackelli scored a goal in the 20th minute, which was disallowed by VAR due to minimal offside. The home team did not fall and continued to create chances, but they failed to convert it into a goal, so as it usually happens in football, the penalty came in the 87th minute when Elliot took advantage of a great pass from Nunez and scored for the final 1:0. It is certain that PSG will attack Liverpool I on their field, so we are probably expecting an even more interesting duel in the second leg.
