UCL: Five EPL teams could be eliminated after Round of 16 first legs

March 12, 2026

At least five Premier League teams are facing possible elimination from the Champions League following the first legs of the last-16 fixtures this midweek.

Of the six teams left in the competition, none of them picked up a win.

Only Arsenal and Newcastle were able to grind out draws, while Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool all lost.

Chelsea were beaten 5-2 at Paris Saint-Germain, while Manchester City suffered a 3-0 drubbing in the hands of Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

On Tuesday, Liverpool lost 1-0 to Galatasaray and Atletico Madrid thrashed Spurs 5-2 at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Newcastle almost claimed a win at home against Barcelona, but Harvey Barnes’ effort was cancelled out by Lamine Yamal’s late penalty. The second leg will be played at the Camp Nou.

Arsenal also needed a late Kai Havertz penalty to draw 1-1 at Bayer Leverkusen. Of all the English clubs, it is Mikel Arteta’s men who have a great chance of qualifying for the quarter-final, as the second leg will be played at the Emirates.
