The UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second legs kick off tonight, Tuesday, March 11, with four gripping encounters set to decide which teams advance to the quarter-finals. As the 2024/25 season reaches a critical juncture, fans can expect high drama, tactical showdowns, and standout moments at some of Europe’s most storied stadiums. Here’s what to look forward to in tonight’s matchups: Barcelona vs. Benfica, Inter Milan vs. Feyenoord, Bayer Leverkusen vs. Bayern Munich, and Liverpool vs. Paris Saint-Germain.
Barcelona host Benfica at the Camp Nou with a 1-0 lead from the first leg, courtesy of Raphinha’s strike in Lisbon. That game saw Barcelona reduced to 10 men early after Pau CubarsÃ’s red card, forcing Wojciech SzczÄ™sny to produce a string of saves to keep a clean sheet. Benfica, despite missing chances, will believe they can turn it around in Catalonia. Barcelona’s home crowd and attacking options, potentially led by Robert Lewandowski, could be key, but Benfica’s speed through Gonçalo Ramos might exploit any gaps. Kick-off is at 5:45 PM GMT for UK viewers (6:45 PM CET for those outside), with the game available on TNT Sports in the UK and beIN Sports or Paramount+ internationally.
Over at the San Siro, Inter Milan take a 2-0 advantage into their clash with Feyenoord, thanks to goals from Marcus Thuram and Lautaro MartÃnez in Rotterdam. Simone Inzaghi’s side, flying high in Serie A, have been defensively robust, but Feyenoord’s Santiago Giménez and high-pressing approach could make things interesting. Inter’s Nicolò Barella might be the man to watch, controlling the midfield to thwart a Dutch resurgence. This one kicks off at 7:00 PM GMT in the UK (8:00 PM CET elsewhere), broadcast on TNT Sports for UK audiences and beIN Sports or Paramount+ outside the UK.
Bayer Leverkusen face a daunting task against Bayern Munich at the BayArena, trailing 0-3 from the first leg. Harry Kane’s brace and Jamal Musiala’s magic gave Bayern a commanding lead in Munich, and with Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz out injured and their form dipping, Xabi Alonso’s men need a miracle. Bayern, despite a recent Bundesliga stumble, have Kane’s nine Champions League goals this season to rely on. Kick-off is 7:00 PM GMT for UK fans (8:00 PM CET internationally), with TNT Sports airing it in the UK and beIN Sports or Paramount+ available elsewhere.
Finally, Liverpool welcome Paris Saint-Germain to Anfield with a 1-0 edge, earned through Harvey Elliott’s late goal in Paris despite PSG’s 27 shots to Liverpool’s two. Alisson Becker’s heroics kept PSG at bay, but Luis Enrique’s side, brimming with attacking talent, will fancy their chances. Mohamed Salah’s form and Anfield’s atmosphere could be decisive in a tie that feels far from settled. This match starts at 7:00 PM GMT in the UK (8:00 PM CET outside), shown on TNT Sports for UK viewers and beIN Sports or Paramount+ internationally.
Where to watch the games
Tonight’s games blend tactical nous with raw emotion. Home advantage might tip the scales for Barcelona and Liverpool, while Bayern and Inter will look to flex their European muscle. Goals seem probable—three of the first legs delivered clear outcomes, and the attacking quality suggests more to come—yet defensive grit could be the difference. UK fans can tune into TNT Sports for all four matches, with kick-offs at 5:45 PM GMT for Barcelona vs. Benfica and 7:00 PM GMT for the rest. Outside the UK, beIN Sports and Paramount+ have coverage, starting at 6:45 PM CET and 8:00 PM CET respectively. As the road to the Munich final on May 31, 2025, narrows, these Tuesday night battles promise to thrill.
