Championship playoff matches have concluded.
Here's the revised content:
On a thrilling Wednesday, the last slots for the UEFA Champions League 2023/24 playoffs were filled. In Group H, Porto from Portugal clinched second place and a playoff ticket by outscoring Shakhtar Donetsk 5-3.
Meanwhile, Group F was a intense race for the second playoff spot, with Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, and Milan in the running. In the end, PSG secured a spot in the Round of 16 with a draw against Dortmund (1:1), a home game win over Milan on tiebreakers, and Milan's victory over Newcastle (2:1) in a parallel match. If PSG had lost, they would have missed out on the playoffs and been left as the odd man out.
Prior to these games, 14 teams had already qualified for the Champions League playoffs: Bayern Munich, Copenhagen, Arsenal, PSV, Real Madrid, Napoli, Real Sociedad, Inter, Atletico, Lazio, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, RB Leipzig, and Barcelona.
The Round of 16 draw will happen on Monday, December 18.
