The first leg of all the round of 16 Champions League fixtures came to an end last night in epic fashion as it ended with shocking results. Manchester City defeated Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu and Lyon sent Juventus back to Turin licking their wounds as they lost 1-0 to the charismatic team lead by Rudi Garcia who seems to have turned around his Champions League fortunes.
On Tuesday, Chelsea was battered at home by Bayern Munich as they conceded three away goals without a reply while Barcelona returned home with a crucial away goal and a draw at Napoli.
A recap of the other first-leg round of fixtures that took place last week saw RB Leipzig dominate and win at Tottenham while Valencia were the victims of a 4-1 thrashing at Atlanta. Lastly, Atletico Madrid were victors against Liverpool with a 1-0 win while Dortmund edged PSG by a goal as they registered a 2-1 win.
The second leg fixtures will begin next week as teams would be looking forward to cementing their place in the quarter-finals while others would be plotting a miraculous turnaround. The will of teams would be tested, their grit and character, patience and endurance. The away goals would become extremely crucial as a home advantage would be important as well.
