Overview
- Bayer Leverkusen reached the Champions League last 16 with a 0:0 against Olympiakos to win 2:0 on aggregate, drawing sharp TV criticism from Christoph Kramer as players and coach also admitted the display fell short.
- Bodø/Glimt delivered a major upset by eliminating Inter Milan, winning 3:1 in Norway after a 2:1 victory in Milan to book a last‑16 tie against Sporting CP or Manchester City.
- Borussia Dortmund confirmed Nico Schlotterbeck and Emre Can trained and traveled for the return leg at Atalanta, with Niko Kovac calling them available for the high‑intensity match.
- Organized BVB fan groups announced a boycott of the Bergamo trip over what they called repressive measures, and the club publicly criticized authorities as supporters prepared legal challenges.
- Off the pitch, Chelsea used a minutes‑based clause to recall loanee Aaron Anselmino from Dortmund; reports also link Leverkusen with 17‑year‑old Aleksa Damjanovic for the summer and say Dortmund are monitoring Benjamin Pavard while fielding Premier League interest in Felix Nmecha at a reported €70 million valuation.
