The Champions League knockout play-offs will come to an end on Wednesday, leaving just 16 teams left within the competition.

Newcastle have cruised past Qarabag and into the last 16, where they are going to join five other Premier League clubs: Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham.

Also safely through to the last 16 without requiring a play-off are Bayern Munich, Sporting and Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid got here through the play-offs on Tuesday evening, as did Bayer Leverkusen and, shockingly, Bodo/Glimt.

The Norwegian side have ousted Italian giants Inter over two legs, remarkably keeping their Champions League dreams alive.

The likes of Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are still involved in Wednesday’s play-off games, hoping to hitch the last 16 line-up.

When those final 16 teams are known, we will turn our attention to the draw for the following round.
