We know everything about the fate of the Italian teams, who failed to reach the Top 8. Inter came close—and for a few minutes were even in—but in the end, the Nerazzurri finish in 10th place and will have to go through the playoffs, just like Juve and Atalanta. Napoli eliminated, after losing 3-2 at the Maradona against Chelsea, putting an end to a campaign that bordered on disastrous.

But it wasn’t just our clubs making headlines. On the many pitches where games were played last night, plenty of things happened! 

🚑 Kvara carried off! Long layoff?

The reigning champions PSG didn’t have a peaceful evening and—in fact—at the end really risked a home defeat against Newcastle. In the end, though, the draw forces the French to play the playoffs, something that also happened a year ago (and we all know how that ended...).

But for PSG, the worst news is Kvaratskhelia’s injury. The Georgian had to leave the field in the 22nd minute, supported by two members of the medical staff. The first reports are not promising. What can we say, get well soon Kvara!

😂 Fan with 'R9' haircut

Villarreal end a terrible European campaign in the worst way, finishing last with just one point from 8 matches. Leverkusen win 3-0, with the Germans finishing 16th and thus playing the playoffs as seeded.

The highlight of the match, however, was in the stands, where a fan was spotted with a truly unusual haircut, clearly reminiscent of Ronaldo the Phenomenon at the 2002 World Cup in Korea. Brave.

👶 Dadason sets record at Camp Nou

Copenhagen lose 4-1 at Camp Nou, but for a while they dreamed of an upset. 

Credit goes to Viktor Dadason, the Danish club’s starlet who opened the scoring in the 4th minute. For the 17-year-old (yes, you read that right) it’s already his third goal in this Champions League, but the one against Barcelona is extra special: thanks to yesterday’s goal, the 2008-born becomes the youngest European player ever to score at the historic blaugrana stadium. Destined for greatness.

📺 Chaos on Lisbon news at Trubin’s goal

The image of this crazy Champions night comes from Lisbon, where Mou’s Benfica qualify for the playoffs thanks to a header goal by goalkeeper Trubin against Real Madrid, in what was the last playable ball.

The Da Luz, needless to say, erupted with joy, with the ever-iconic José Mourinho almost in disbelief. But the celebrations weren’t just at the stadium.

In the studios of Agora, a Portuguese TV program, a priest was interrupted by a series of shouts in the studio, right as he was talking about the connection with God. Well, you can’t call it a miracle, but what happened yesterday in Benfica-Real Madrid is hard to believe.

🥇 Mbappé breaks CR7’s record

In Real’s bitter night, there’s at least something to smile about. Yet another out-of-this-world performance from Kylian Mbappé, who scored another two goals, bringing his tally to 36 (in 29 matches played).

Incredible numbers, which shine even brighter when you look at the Champions League alone. Yes, because with his brace at Da Luz, the Frenchman ends the group stage with 13 goals, snatching the record that belonged to the great Cristiano Ronaldo. True, the group stage now has two more games, but the substance doesn’t change: Real have many problems this year, but their number 10 certainly isn’t one of them.

🫣 Gyökeres’ blunder

Arsenal win their last match as well and finish a flawless group stage: 24 points, 23 goals scored, and just 4 conceded. Last night at the Emirates Stadium against bottom side Kairat, it was only about securing first place, as qualification was already in the bag.

On a cold London night, a fun match played out, ending 3-2, and featuring the incredible miss by Viktor Gyökeres.

The former Sporting player wasted a 0.81 xG chance, the classic “already scored” goal. Luckily for him, as mentioned, Arsenal still took home the three points.

😔 RDZ, what a nightmare! OM out and mocked

A night to forget for Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille. Before the match, the French had a 96% chance of finishing in the top 24, but instead, they were eliminated by Trubin’s last-minute goal.

But to add insult to injury for OM, there was also mockery. After the 3-0 defeat in Brugge, the Belgians still wanted to congratulate their opponents for qualifying. On the giant screens at the Jan Breydel appeared the message "Congratulations on qualifying, Olympique de Marseille". Too bad that in Lisbon the match was still being played, and just seconds later De Zerbi’s team would be eliminated.
