Champions League Knockout Phase Begins with High-Stakes Clashes

Posted : 12 February 2025

The UEFA Champions League returns tonight, February 12, 2025, with four thrilling encounters as teams battle for a place in the round of 16. Among the standout fixtures, Bayern Munich travels to Glasgow to face Celtic, while AC Milan takes on Feyenoord in Rotterdam. Elsewhere, Club Brugge hosts Atalanta, and AS Monaco welcomes Benfica in what promises to be an action-packed evening of European football.

 

At Celtic Park, the Scottish champions will look to defy the odds against Bayern Munich in their first knockout stage appearance since 2013. Manager Brendan Rodgers has emphasized the importance of home support, but Bayern, led by Harry Kane and Leroy Sané, remains the favorite. The German giants have been dominant in the competition so far, though injuries to key players, including Alphonso Davies, could give Celtic a glimmer of hope.

 

Meanwhile, AC Milan visits Feyenoord in a crucial tie at De Kuip. Milan, boasting talents like Rafael Leão and Christian Pulisic, will aim to impose their experience against a determined Dutch side. Feyenoord has impressed in the group stages and will rely on their passionate home crowd to unsettle the Italian giants.

 

Elsewhere, Club Brugge faces a daunting challenge against Atalanta, who finished their group stage campaign with an impressive attacking record. The Belgian side showed resilience in their earlier matches, but Atalanta’s firepower, led by Gianluca Scamacca and Teun Koopmeiners, makes them the favourites.

 

The final match of the night sees AS Monaco take on Benfica at Stade Louis II. Benfica edged past Monaco in the group stage, winning 3-2, and will look to repeat that success. The Portuguese side has been solid defensively, but Monaco’s attacking trio of Wissam Ben Yedder, Aleksandr Golovin, and Takumi Minamino could pose serious problems.

 

With the knockout stage underway, each team will aim to take a decisive step forward ahead of the second-leg fixtures. Football fans can expect a night of drama, intensity, and top-class European action.
