Chelsea and Sevilla are the first clubs confirmed to be in the knockout stages of the Champions League. The English and Spanish beat Rennes and Krasnodar, respectively, matches that were only decided in the final moments.

In France, Hudson-Odoi (22 ‘) put Chelsea ahead of the scoreboard, an advantage annulled by Guirassy (85′), a goal that kept Rennes’ hopes alive. Hopes were dashed at 90 + 1 when Giroud put the final score at 2-1 in favor of the English.

In Russia, Sevilla also scored first for Rakitic (4 ‘), Wanderson (58’) restored equality and Munir El Haddadi sealed the triumph of the Andalusian team at 90 + 5.

With their presence confirmed in the round of 16, Chelsea and Sevilla will now battle for the top spot in the group, while Rennes and Krasnodar will discuss third place worth a place in the Europa League.
