Back in September, I do not think too many football fans could think that the last year's runner up will end up this early the European contest. Inter lost the first leg in Norway 3-1 and has lost again today (1-2). This is why football is great. Fortunately, Superleague plans are not going ahead and we will keep enjoying this kind of surprises in the competition.

Atletico was facing a tough match against Brugge, following their draw last week . Even though the Belgians managed to equalize the game (1-1) at half time. The second half certified that Atletico goes through to the next round (4-1 today, 7-4 on aggregate).

Leverkusen did most of the job in Greece last week and obtained a goalless draw against Olympiacos to secure their spot in the last 16 round.

Finally, no surprises at St James' Park where Newcastle beat Qarabag again, on aggregate 9-3, and will be in the draw with the rest of English clubs on Friday.

Tomorrow, the other four matches of the second leg will be played.
