Union Berlin has made history after appointing Marie-Louise Eta as their new head coach, becoming the first club in Europe's top five leagues to have a female head coach. Eta takes the job on an interim basis until the end of the season, having previously served as the club's assistant and U19 manager.

Hansi Flick complained to UEFA officials about the state of the pitch ahead of the Atletico Madrid clash, specifically pointing out a section of the field that raised his concerns.

He is capable of getting back to 100%. He is being assessed by the CBF and by me, and he still has two months to show that he has what it takes to play in the next World Cup.

Paris Saint-Germain had a bit more trouble separating itself from its Ligue 1 rival Monaco than predicted, but rode a 3-2 first leg win to a 5-4 aggregate victory. Newcastle demolished Qarabag, 9-3. Atlético Madrid turned a 3-3 first-leg draw around with a 4-1 second leg at home to dump out Club Brugge. Bayer Leverkusen vs. Olympiacos was a snoozer, won 2-0 on aggregate by the former.
