Champions League March 2026: last-16 results and quarter-final archive
Checked 2025/26 last-16 scores and aggregate winners, with February play-off context and the April quarter-final pairings clearly presented as an archive.
Published: Last updated:
This is a dated archive of the 2025/26 Champions League knockout picture after the round of 16 finished on 18 March 2026. It covers the February play-off winners, both legs of the last-16 ties and the quarter-final pairings known then. The April dates below are historical, not upcoming fixtures or live betting opportunities.
Round of 16: both legs and the aggregate result
The first legs were played on 10–11 March, followed by the second legs on 17–18 March. In every score column below, the first-named club in the tie is shown first, even though the first-leg venue was reversed. “Aggregate” adds the goals from both legs; it is not the score of one match.
The tables follow UEFA’s 2025/26 results archive.
| Tie | First leg | Second leg | Aggregate | Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenal – Leverkusen | 1–1 | 2–0 | 3–1 | Arsenal |
| Chelsea – Paris Saint-Germain | 2–5 | 0–3 | 2–8 | Paris Saint-Germain |
| Manchester City – Real Madrid | 0–3 | 1–2 | 1–5 | Real Madrid |
| Sporting CP – Bodø/Glimt | 0–3 | 5–0 after extra time | 5–3 | Sporting CP |
| Liverpool – Galatasaray | 0–1 | 4–0 | 4–1 | Liverpool |
| Barcelona – Newcastle | 1–1 | 7–2 | 8–3 | Barcelona |
| Tottenham – Atlético de Madrid | 2–5 | 3–2 | 5–7 | Atlético de Madrid |
| Bayern Munich – Atalanta | 6–1 | 4–1 | 10–2 | Bayern Munich |
Tuesday 17 March: the four outcomes
Arsenal’s 2–0 home win took them through against Leverkusen, following a draw in the first leg.
Chelsea lost 0–3 to Paris. Already behind after the first leg, they were eliminated.
Manchester City lost 1–2 to Real Madrid, who won both legs and advanced.
Sporting CP won the return match 5–0 after extra time, overturning their first-leg deficit. That score includes extra time; it is not a 90-minute result.
Wednesday 18 March: winning a match versus winning a tie
UEFA’s Wednesday round-up confirmed Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern and Atlético as the other quarter-finalists. Liverpool overturned their deficit against Galatasaray; Barcelona eliminated Newcastle; Bayern completed their win over Atalanta.
Tottenham won the second leg but Atlético won the tie. The match result and aggregate winner differ because Atlético’s first-leg lead was large enough to survive the return-leg defeat.
Quarter-final pairings known after the last 16
UEFA’s round-up recorded Paris Saint-Germain against Liverpool, Real Madrid against Bayern Munich, Barcelona against Atlético de Madrid, and Sporting CP against Arsenal. First legs were scheduled for 7–8 April and second legs for 14–15 April. These are historical pairings, not upcoming fixtures.
How the February play-offs fed into the last 16
The eight play-off ties produced the following aggregate winners. The first-named club in this table advanced. This is a separate round from the last 16, rather than another name for the same March matches.
| Play-off tie, winner first | Aggregate |
|---|---|
| Atlético de Madrid – Club Brugge | 7–4 |
| Leverkusen – Olympiacos | 2–0 |
| Bodø/Glimt – Inter | 5–2 |
| Newcastle – Qarabağ | 9–3 |
| Atalanta – Borussia Dortmund | 4–3 |
| Galatasaray – Juventus | 7–5 |
| Paris Saint-Germain – Monaco | 5–4 |
| Real Madrid – Benfica | 3–1 |
UEFA’s dated play-off draw explanation listed Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Sporting CP and Tottenham as already through to the last 16. The February ties supplied the other eight teams. It placed the play-offs on 17–18 and 24–25 February, before the March round.
League-phase context, not a live standings table
The league phase decided which clubs entered the play-offs and which went straight into the last 16. The eight automatic qualifiers are listed above; the results tables cover the subsequent knockout rounds, not league standings.
Reading the archive without reviving old bets
This archive stops at the completed March round. It does not include later results, current odds or player availability.
BCP’s football features guide distinguishes market and promotion terms. The calculator guide explains returns and profit, not why a team would win. An aggregate result alone does not tell you how a specific old bet was settled.
