Madrid-Man City, PSG-Chelsea Rematches Headline Champions League Last-16 with Newcomer Bodø/Glimt
The round features two notable rematches and Bodø/Glimt's debut, with six days between legs and Manchester City favored to lead after a win at Real Madrid's stadium.
- On Tuesday the Champions League round of 16 begins, with Real Madrid hosting Manchester City and PSG facing Chelsea in a rivalry rematch, plus Bodø/Glimt's debut.
- Several ties are rematches because some pairings met a few months ago, with first legs on March 11 and return legs six days later, compressing the schedule.
- Kylian Mbappé is a doubt for Wednesday because of a left‑knee strain, and Erling Haaland's penalty settled a 2‑1 win as Madrid's star stayed on the bench; City already won at the Bernabéu earlier this season.
- Bodø/Glimt's qualification means they are the lowest‑ranked club in 23rd place, while Arsenal and Bayern Munich topped the first phase and a quarter‑final spot is the baseline expectation.
- Chelsea's most recent meeting eight months ago was a surprise 3-0 win at MetLife Stadium, while only one of the eight pairings rematches any UEFA final since 1955.
