The other team to qualify tonight is Bodo, who, after eliminating Inter, will face either Manchester City or Sporting Lisbon. Earlier in the evening, Atletico qualified and will face either Liverpool or Tottenham.
NEWCASTLE-QARABAG 3-2 (Aggregate 9-3)
At the start of the second half, Camilo Duran at least reopened the match by scoring to make it 2-1. The one-goal lead, however, lasted only a moment, as Botman restored the Magpies’ two-goal advantage just two minutes later.
In less than 6 minutes, Newcastle went two goals ahead. Sandro Tonali broke the deadlock, finishing off a move he started himself in the box. The second goal was scored by Joelinton.
BAYER LEVERKUSEN-OLYMPIACOS 0-0 (Aggregate 2-0)
Olympiacos could not pull off the comeback at the Bay Arena, never really threatening to get back into the match, and Leverkusen advance to the round of 16.
