Benfica will play Real Madrid in the Champions League play-offs, just weeks after their dramatic league phase meeting. Benfica beat Real 4-2 on Wednesday thanks to a stunning 98th-minute goal from goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin.
Elsewhere, Newcastle will face Qarabag after finishing 12th in the league phase, while holders Paris St-Germain will take on French rivals Monaco.
The two-legged play-offs involve teams finishing between ninth and 24th and will be played on 17–18 February and again a week later. The winner of Newcastle’s tie with Qarabag will face either Chelsea or Barcelona in the last 16.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham all finished in the top eight and have qualified directly for the last 16. The final will be held in Budapest on 30 May, with the knockout draw taking place on 27 February.
