UEFA trophy
The 2022/23 Champions League is moving on to its next stage, with just eight teams now left in Europe’s elite club competition and the lineup confirmed for the quarter-final draw.
Chelsea staged a second-leg comeback against Borussia Dortmund at Stamford Bridge. Last year they also reached the quarters, falling to eventual winners Real Madrid.
Elsewhere, Benfica emphatically sealed their passage with a 5-1 (7-1 agg) second-leg win over Club Brugge. The Portuguese side make it back-to-back quarter-finals for the first time this century.
Manchester City, likewise, bulldozered RB Leipzig, with Erling Haaland getting five goals to become the tournament’s top scorer this season.
Napoli also made it through comfortably, beating Frankfurt 3-0 in the second leg (5-0 agg), spurred on by two goals from Victor Osimhen.
