Atalanta staged a historic comeback to eliminate Borussia Dortmund with a 4-1 victory in Bergamo, overturning their 2-0 defeat from Germany to advance to the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. The home side took an early lead through Gianluca Scamacca, who headed in a cross from Lorenzo Bernasconi. Before halftime, Davide Zappacosta doubled the lead, but his shot deflected off Ramy Bensebaini to level the aggregate score. In the second half, Mario Pasalic scored the third goal, putting Atalanta ahead on aggregate. Jordan Teze pulled one back late on, but it wasn't enough. As the match seemed destined for extra time, an error from Gregor Kobel led to a penalty, which Lazar Samardzic converted to seal a 4-1 victory and a dramatic qualification for the Italian side. Juventus was eliminated from the Champions League despite a near-historic comeback against Galatasaray in Turin. After a 5-2 loss in Istanbul, the Old Lady needed three goals and equalized the series with a determined response. Mauro Locatelli opened the scoring from the penalty spot, and despite the expulsion of Lloyd Kelly, Federico Gatti and Weston McKennie completed the rout that took the game to extra time. When the Italian momentum seemed to prevail, Victor Osimhen scored in extra time to restore the Turkish side's aggregate lead. Late on, Barış Yılmaz sealed Galatasaray's passage to the Round of 16, where they will face Liverpool or Tottenham. In another intense match, the visiting side took the lead through Rafa Silva to level the aggregate score. However, the response was immediate: Eduardo Camavinga equalized with a powerful long-range strike, and later, Vinicius Jr. sealed the win after a decisive run to secure advancement. Akliouche opened the account for the visitors, but the expulsion of Coulibaly changed the course of the game. Marquinhos equalized, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored the decisive goal.
