POSTED ON February 15, 2024 •   Football      BY Samuel O . Adeniyi

The UEFA Champions League Round of 16 kicked off with a bang on Tuesday night as stakes continue to rise. Let's dive into the key takeaways from the action:

UEFA Champions League Round of 16: PSG Dominate in Paris

At the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain lived up to their billing, dismantling Real Sociedad with a comfortable 2-0 victory.

Despite a goalless first half, Kylian Mbappé found the breakthrough in the 58th minute, followed by a late goal from young talent Bradley Barcola.

The dominant win puts PSG firmly in control heading into the second leg.

Bayern Shocked by Lazio Upset at UEFA Champions League Round of 16

The biggest surprise of the day came in Rome, where Lazio stunned Bayern Munich 1-0.

The Bundesliga giants, despite their unbeaten group stage run, looked out of sorts and struggled for creativity.

A red card for Dayot Upamecano in the 67th minute compounded their woes, allowing Ciro Immobile to convert a penalty and hand Lazio a famous victory.

Thomas Tuchel's men face a monumental task in the second leg to avoid an early exit.

Upcoming Fixtures:
