T20 WORLD CUP 2024 Full Schedule 
Champions League Drama: PSG Advances, Newcastle Falters, and Excitement Builds for Round of 16 Draw
In a thrilling conclusion to the Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured their spot in the knockout round with a tense 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund. The 17-year-old Warren Zaïre-Emery played a crucial role, leveling the score in the 56th minute. PSG’s coach, Luis Enrique, expressed confidence, stating, “No team will hope to play us in the next round.”
Meanwhile, despite kicking off the second half with a one-goal lead, Newcastle United lost 2-1 at home to AC Milan. The defeat left them out of the Champions League and relegated them to the bottom of the group. Milan, with a late surge, clinched victory, and their reward was a place in the second-tier Europa League as a third-place finisher.
Newcastle’s loss contributed to England facing its weakest round of 16 challenge in 11 years, with only defending champion Manchester City and Arsenal representing the country. PSG now awaits the draw to determine their opponent in the knockout stage, with potential matchups against heavyweights like Manchester City, Real Madrid, or Bayern Munich.
In another significant result, Porto secured their place in round 16 with a 5-3 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk. The group stage concluded with Atletico Madrid topping Group E, and the lineup for the round of 16 is completed with teams like Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Barcelona among the seeded group winners.
Looking ahead to the draw on Monday, the round of 16 will feature matchups between group winners and runners-up. Teams cannot face opponents from their own country or those they encountered in the group stage. The draw promises excitement, with eight former champions in the mix, collectively boasting 33 titles since the inception of the European Cup in 1955.
Simultaneously, the Europa League playoffs will see third-place teams from the Champions League groups competing for a spot in the second-tier tournament. Teams like Galatasaray, Lens, Braga, and AC Milan will be among the unseeded teams seeking a route to Europa League success. The playoffs draw on Monday will determine their opponents, with the prospect of enticing matchups and unexpected twists in European football’s journey.
