Yeah definitely ups and downs of the new format - the benefit is that it gives more teams more games but then there's a lot less chance of the group stage 'shock' and big teams going out. Of course I'd re-do the whole thing so that only actual champions get to take part, but that's a whole other story...

18 games today all at the same time. Should be fascinating

Brugge 0-1 up against City with 45 left. Man City have to win to progress

Man City turn it around, 2-1.

Love the final game format!

This final game format should stay, it's great.

Cracking game at Villa Park, Aston Villa make it 3-2 against Celtic.

Lille now have six against Feyenoord.

Manchester City have reached the Champions League playoffs after beating Club Brugge 3-1 at the Etihad.

City turn it around then!

Bayern Munich or Real Madrid next in the playoffs for Manchester City.

Fun!!

Morgan Rogers became the second-youngest Englishman to score a hat-trick in the Champions League after Wayne Rooney in 2004.

He’s quality Rodgers!

Champions League Knockout Phase Play-Offs Draw

 

Brest v PSG

Club Brugge v Atalanta

Manchester City v Real Madrid

Juventus v PSV Eindhoven

Feyenoord v AC Milan

Celtic v Bayern Munich

Sporting CP v Borussia Dortmund

Monaco vs Benfica

 

Good that City get a tough game after fluking their way to a play-off.

I actually hope City beat them as hate the arrogance of Madrid more than City’s new £££ arrogance.

 

Tough draw for Celtic!

Real Madrid beat City 2-3 and completely outplayed them too. Can’t see City turning it around

Yeah I think that is Man City out. They twice took the lead but couldn't hold on. The FA Cup will be their only hope of winning a trophy this season.

AC Milan are out of the Champions League.

 

A famous night at the San Siro for Feyenoord.

 

They'll face Inter Milan or Arsenal in the round of 16.
