She Kicks, issue 32, January 2016 p.6
The Champions League round of 16 produces some tight ties, though Wolfsburg dismiss Chelsea with relative ease, early goals in both legs carrying them to a 4-1 aggregate win. Frankfurt blow a two-goal first-leg lead over Norway’s LSK but win on penalties, Paris Saint-Germain go through on away goals against Orebro, and Slavia Praha preserve a narrow lead at Zvezda. Barcelona beat Twente 1-0 home and away and Brescia edge past Fortuna Hjorring, while Lyon brush aside Atletico Madrid 9-1 and Rosengard win 8-2 against Verona. The quarter-final draw, to be played in late March, pairs Wolfsburg with Brescia, Rosengard with Frankfurt, Lyon with Slavia Praha and Barcelona with PSG, keeping the previous season’s finalists apart.
