There are four teams who saw through the first knockout rounds and are in the quarterfinals of UEFA Champions League this season. However, that also means four teams are already out of the tournament. These four qualifying teams are Bayern, AC Milan, Chelsea and Benfica.
After Chelsea’s first leg defeat against Dortmund, nobody believed that this team considering their current form could turn things around to qualify for the next round. However, Graham Potter’s Chelsea hold Dortmund with their one goal lead and then won the match 2-1 on aggregate to qualify for the next round of the UEFA Champions League. Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling scored the two goals for Chelsea.
Benfica on the other hand faced Club Brugge in their qualifying game. They won their first leg match with a 2-1 scoreline and any team from such position could have won the tie. Well, in the second leg, Benfica scored five goals against Brugge and won the game 7-1 on aggregate.
