Atletico Madrid och Bayer Leverkusen avancerar till Champions League-åttondelsfinal

Atletico Madrid säkrade sin plats i Champions League-åttondelsfinalen med en 4-1-seger över Club Brugge trots 3-3 i första matchen. Alexander Sorloth gjorde hattrick i returen. Bayer Leverkusen gick också vidare efter 0-0 mot Olympiakos sedan 2-0 borta i första mötet.

Returmatchen i Champions League-playoffmötet mellan Atletico Madrid och Club Brugge spelades på Atleticos hemmaplan och slutade med 4-1-seger för Diego Simeones lag och 7-4 sammanlagt. Första matchen slutade 3-3 i Belgien. Brugge började starkt och vägrade ge sig lättvindigt, men Atletico tog ledningen genom Alexander Sorloth. Joel Ordóñez kvitterade för Brugge efter 13 minuter. The momentum shifted early in the second half when Atletico midfielder Johnny Cardoso, a United States international who joined from Real Betis last summer, scored his first goal for the club with a low shot past goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, a former Liverpool player. This gave Atletico the advantage they needed. Sorloth then dominated, adding goals in the 76th and 87th minutes to complete his hat-trick. This marked only the second Champions League hat-trick in Atletico's history, following Mario Mandzukic's against Olympiakos in November 2014. I den andra playoffmatchen avancerade Bayer Leverkusen bekvämt med 0-0 hemma mot Olympiakos och säkrade 2-0 sammanlagt efter framgången i första matchen i Grekland. Matchen på BayArena var försiktig, med Leverkusen som prioriterade kontroll framför flair eftersom de redan gjort det mesta av jobbet. Atletico Madrid ställs nu mot antingen Liverpool eller Tottenham från Premier League i lottningen till åttondelsfinalerna på fredag. Lag som går vidare från ligafasen inkluderar Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern München, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Sporting CP och Tottenham. Från play-offen avancerade även Newcastle, Atletico Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen och Bodø/Glimt.
