Warren Zaïre-Emery made PSG history by becoming the first player under the age of 17 to start in a game that was eliminated from the ‘Champions’, in a game that saw Danilo and Nuno Mendes in the starting line-up and Vitinha. on 75 for the Parisians, and João Cancelo played the first half for the Bavarians.
Bayern, 100% victorious in this edition of the ‘millionaires’ competition, completely dominated the first half, against a very withdrawn PSG who already scored the first shot in extra time.
Already after Coman’s goal, Choupo-Moting saw Donnarumma deflect a shot towards the post, with PSG improving in the 82nd minute with the emergence of Mbappé, who even celebrated a goal, but the action was eventually canceled by the video referee on the outside of the game by Nuno Mendes.
Bayern ended the game still reduced to 10 units, after Pavard saw the second yellow card in the 90+2 minute, after a hard foul on Lionel Messi.
Italian champions AC Milan returned to the knockout stage after nine seasons, beating Tottenham 1–0 at home with a goal from Brahim Díaz in the seventh minute.

No Milan player has scored at this stage since the second leg of the 2013–14 Round of 16, with the Spaniard imitating Brazil’s Kaká, who had scored the goal for the Italians in a 4–1 defeat to Atlético de Madrid.
Portugal’s Rafael Leão was voted best player on the field by UEFA, in a game where he was on the field until the 90+1 minute, after being substituted shortly after missing a good chance to make it 2-0.
At Tottenham, Spaniard Pedro Porro from Sporting, who was contracted in January, was not used.
