Reigning champions , PSG, managed to beat Monaco 2-3 despite missing a penalty and starting the match losing 2-0. Doué , who came out from the bench at 29 minutes substituting Dembelé, scored twice. Looks great for the Parisiens.

Real Madrid beat Benfica 0-1 in a match that had to be stopped 10 minutes due to some racist comments from Prestianni.

Atalanta could not make a goal against Dortmund. The Germans are ahead 2-0 and are favorites for the second leg.

Finally, as I mentioned yesterday, tough game for Juventus against Galatasaray. The Turkish beat them 5-2 and leave the matchup in their side.

Tonight, four matches to complete the first leg. Atletico travels to Brugge and , even though they seem to have slowed down in La Liga, they have been performing well in the knockout contest in Spain, where they are almost in the Final after beating Barça 4-0 a week ago.

Also, current runners-up Inter, travel to Norway to play against Bodo/Glimt. They beat recently Man City, so it won't be an easy one for the Italians.

Newcastle will play against Qarabag at 6:45 pm CET. Odds are clearly with the English team, though it's a long journey and a bit of a surprise that the team from Azerbaijan is in the play offs.

Finally, Olympiacos will fight against Bayer Leverkusen for a spot in the Last 16 Round.

Matches will kick off at 9:00 PM CET apart from Qarabag vs Newcastle.
