The UEFA Champions League has always been a battleground for football giants, and this latest round of matches was no exception! In a thrilling first leg of the knockout phase, Feyenoord managed to shock AC Milan with a stunning 2-1 victory at their home ground, De Kuip in Rotterdam. The match kicked off with an electric start when Paixão opened the scoring just three minutes in, following a slick assist from Smal. This goal set the tone for a nail-biting encounter that saw AC Milan battle fiercely but unable to find the back of the net more than once, leaving them with a deficit to overcome in the return leg.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich faced Celtic in a match that proved equally as tense. The German giants, buoyed by goals from Michael Olise and Harry Kane, took a comfortable lead but had to hold on against a late surge from Celtic, who weren't ready to roll over. The match ended at 2-1, but not without a few heart-stopping moments that had fans on the edge of their seats. Bayern's narrow escape showcases the unpredictable nature of knockout football, where every minute counts.

Another key highlight from the Champions League was Club Brugge's nail-biting encounter with Atalanta, where a stoppage-time penalty from substitute Gustaf Nilsson secured a 2-1 win for Brugge. The penalty not only gave them the victory but also added a layer of drama, as controversies about the foul echoed long past the whistle. This match has stirred conversations about VAR's (Video Assistant Referee) role in such crucial decisions, as teams fight tooth and nail to advance.

As the knockout phase continues, all eyes are on the next matches, where all four teams will aim to solidify their positions for a chance at European glory.
