Full Champions League Knockout Stage Play-off Draw

Published on

Real Madrid will lock horns with Benfica in the Champions League knockout stage play-offs, a rematch of their last group stage match.

In what will be remembered as an epic match, Madrid lost in Portugal on Wednesday night, the game saw Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin score a last-gasp goal to run out 4-2 winners and keep their Champions League campaign alive.

Meanwhile, holders Paris Saint-Germain face a French derby against Monaco, while Newcastle will take on Qarabag of Azerbaijan over two legs for a place in the Champions League last 16.

Newcastle finished 12th in the league phase to miss out on an automatic last-16 berth, but will fancy their chances of beating Qarabag in the knockout play-off round.
