Several European heavyweights delivered commanding performances as the Round of 16 first-leg matches of the UEFA Champions League produced high-scoring contests and dramatic finishes across Europe this week.

Reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) narrowly avoided a shock exit from the UEFA Champions League, securing their place in the Round of 16 after a tense 2-2 draw with Monaco, as the result saw the Parisians advance 5-4 on aggregate, according to the UEFA Champions League website. Real Madrid, on the other hand, beat Benfica 2-1 to secure a 3-1 aggregate win and advance to the knockout stages.

Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) played out a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United at Parc des Princes in Paris. PSG currently stand at the 11th place with four wins and two draws in eight matches.

City suffered a shock loss to Bodo/Glimt, a Norwegian club, by 3-1, while PSG endured a 2-1 defeat to Sporting CP. However, Arsenal secured a brilliant 3-1 win over last year's UEFA Champions League finalists Inter Milan, while multi-time champions Real Madrid thrashed Monaco 6-1.

Indonesia's Jonatan Christie mixed his tactics and kept his nerves in key situations to beat former world champion Loh Kean Yew of Singapore in the men's singles semifinals of India Open 2026.
