Bayern fought back from a first-leg defeat to keep their European dream alive with a dominant 3-0 win on home soil against Lazio on Tuesday, with Harry Kane chipping in with two goals. Paris and Man City, meanwhile, strolled into the next round with comfortable wins against Real Sociedad and Copenhagen, respectively. Real Madrid, on the other hand, scraped through after drawing 1-1 with Leipzig on Wednesday, sealing a 2-1 aggregate victory.

    Kylian Mbappé | Paris | 72 points

    French star Kylian Mbappé showed he still has a huge role to play for the Ligue 1 champions despite his imminent departure in the summer. He was the star of the show as his side ran out 2-1 winners at the Reale Arena on Tuesday, firing in twice as they claimed a 2-1 win, going through 3-1 on aggregate. The 25-year-old had four shots in the game - twice as many as anyone else on the field - and completed four dribbles as he constantly tried to create danger.

  • Harry Kane - Bayern Munich vs Lazio Champions League 05032024Getty Images

    Harry Kane | Bayern | 72 points

    The pressure was on Harry Kane and his Bayern co-stars as they trailed Lazio 1-0 heading into the second leg of their last-16 tie in Bavaria. Luckily for coach Thomas Tuchel, the England striker delivered as he helped fire the home team to a 3-0 win. Kane opened the scoring late in the first half and then put the result beyond doubt when he netted his team's third midway through the second period.

  • Julian Alvarez Manchester City 2023-24Getty

    Julian Àlvarez | Man City | 72 points

    Reigning UEFA Champions League holders Man City had a significant advantage from the first leg when they welcomed Copenhagen to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday. However, last season's treble winners had to make sure they got the job done and Julian Àlvarez was pivotal in ensuring they did so. He whipped in a perfect corner for Manuel Akanji to open the scoring just five minutes into the match and then just four minutes later, caught goalkeeper Kamil Grabara off guard with a shot that slipped through his fingers to make it 2-0.

  • Mohamed Elyounoussi Copenhagen 2023-24Getty

    Mohamed Elyounoussi | Copenhagen | 69 points

    Copenhagen had a mountain to climb less than 10 minutes into their visit to Manchester, but Mohamed Elyounoussi gave them something to be proud of. The midfielder applied a fine finish to a backheel from Orri Oskarsson to make it 2-1 after 29 minutes. The Norwegian was his team's most dangerous player throughout, registering three shots - as many as Erling Haaland and Julian Àlvarez - and chipped in with more successful tackles than anyone else in the game.
