Convincing victory for Atalanta, who took an option to qualify for the quarter-finals, beating Valencia 4-1. The Lombard club has no stars, no big budget, but plays attacking and exciting football. A city's passion for its club. Can the "Murciélagos" turn the tide on March 10 in Mestalla?

Publicity

Short, but precious victory for Leipzig on Spurs
Julian Nagelsmann, young and brilliant coach of the other novice club of the round of 16, symbol of a "new wave" of coaches? If the Londoners, finalists of last year in C1 bowed at home, we know that they know how to get out of delicate situations. Has the 11 de Mourinho lowered the flag? We will have to attack (and defend well) during the second round in Saxony.

Assessment of this first week of first leg matches. The outsiders beat the favorite teams.

A new crisis at PSG?
Paradoxically, the Parisians have preserved their chances of qualification despite the defeat at Dortmund, but the declarations of Neymar, who attacked the medical staff, the weeks to come, which promise to be lulled by the specter of a new setback at this stage of the C1, do not augur of a most serene preparation before the reception of the Germans.

Add to this that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has just been indicted by the Swiss justice system in a corruption case linked to "the attribution of media rights".

Neymar irritated who attacks his club, and Messi who awaits his return to Barça.

In an interview with Mundo Deportivo , the "Pulga" confides in the events that have rocked the Blaugrana club in recent weeks.
