Premier League sides endured a tough set of results in the first legs of their UEFA Champions League last-16 ties as they all failed to win - but their European adventures aren't over yet. All six still have the chance to battle back in their respective second legs this week. Here is how each of the Premier League sides in the competition can reach the final in Budapest.

Premier League clubs endured a difficult start to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

All six English sides failed to win their first legs last week, but will be looking to bounce back this week in the return legs, live on TNT Sports and discovery+.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle, and Tottenham Hotspur will be back in action on Tuesday and Wednesday, and they will be desperate to move one step closer to the final at the Puskas Arena in the Hungarian capital of Budapest on May 30.

If they do advance, who could the Premier League teams meet next in the quarter-finals and beyond? And when could they face each other in the competition?

Arsenal

Arsenal may be leading the way at the top of the Premier League table, but they needed a late Kai Havertz penalty to rescue a 1-1 draw against Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their last-16 clash.

They appear to have a favourable route to Budapest if they can get past their German rivals at the Emirates.

They will face the winner of Bodo/Glimt v Sporting CP in the quarter-finals.

Bodo/Glimt are 3-0 up after the first leg, so Gunners fans could be set for a trip to Norway.

If the Gunners win their quarter-final tie, they will then play one of Newcastle, Barcelona, Tottenham, or Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals.

The match between the Magpies and Barcelona could still go either way after a 1-1 draw in the first leg at St James’ Park.

However, a Champions League north London derby seems unlikely after Atletico took control in the first leg with a 5-2 win against Spurs.

If they reach the final, Arsenal could still face any of the teams on the other side of the draw.

That includes Premier League rivals Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool, as well as Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Galatasaray, Bayern Munich, and Atalanta.

Arsenal's route to the final

Quarter-finals: Bodo/Glimt or Sporting CP

Semi-finals: Newcastle United, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur or Atletico Madrid

Final: Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Galatasaray, Bayern Munich, or Atalanta

Newcastle United

Newcastle face a tough trip to the Camp Nou for the second leg of their last-16 tie with Barcelona.

If they come out on top after a 1-1 draw in the first leg, they will face Spurs or Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals.

They will then go head-to-head with one of Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Bodo/Glimt or Sporting CP in the semi-finals.

Like Arsenal, Newcastle will then have to contend with one of Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Galatasaray, Bayern Munich, or Atalanta in the climax of the tournament.

Newcastle's route to the final

Quarter-finals: Tottenham Hotspur or Atletico Madrid

Semi-finals: Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Bodo/Glimt or Sporting CP

Final: Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Galatasaray, Bayern Munich, or Atalanta

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs are hanging on to their Champions League dream by a thread after their 5-2 loss to Atletico last week.

If they somehow manage to bring it back, they can look ahead to an all-English quarter-final against Newcastle or a mouth-watering tie with Barcelona.

If they win that, they could face bitter rivals Arsenal in the semi-finals.

However, they could also end up facing one of Bayer Leverkusen, Bodo/Glimt or Sporting CP instead.

Spurs would then have to beat either Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Galatasaray, Bayern Munich, or Atalanta to secure what would surely go down as one of the most remarkable Champions League triumphs of all time.

Tottenham's route to the final

Quarter-finals: Newcastle United or Barcelona

Semi-finals: Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Bodo/Glimt or Sporting CP

Final: Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Galatasaray, Bayern Munich, or Atalanta

Manchester City

Like Spurs, Manchester City were humbled by Spanish opposition in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League.

A phenomenal Federico Valverde hat-trick saw them sink to a 3-0 defeat against Real Madrid at the Estadio Bernabeu.

If they are able to overturn the three-goal deficit at the Etihad, then they will play either German giants Bayern Munich or Serie A side Atalanta in the quarter-finals.

Secure another win, and City could face a semi-final clash with Premier League rivals Liverpool or Chelsea.

Alternatively, they could end up going toe-to-toe with Galatasaray or PSG.

Get past that hurdle, and City will have to contend with one of Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Newcastle United, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid, Bodo/Glimt or Sporting CP in the final.

Man City's route to the final

Quarter-finals: Bayern Munich or Atalanta

Semi-finals: Liverpool, Chelsea, Galatasaray or Paris Saint-Germain

Final: Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Newcastle United, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid, Bodo/Glimt or Sporting CP

Chelsea

Chelsea also suffered a disappointing result in the first leg of their last 16 clash with PSG.

They were beaten 5-2 in Paris, and face a huge challenge to battle back and beat the holders.

If the Blues advance they could set up a classic Champions League fixture with Liverpool in the quarter-finals, assuming the Reds can get past Galatasaray.

They will then play one of Bayern Munich, Atalanta, Manchester City or Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Newcastle United, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid, Bodo/Glimt and Sporting CP are battling it out for a place in the final on the other side of the draw.

Chelsea undecided on 'blown out of proportion' huddle against PSG

Gerrard reveals the team - bar Liverpool - he wants to see win the league

Chelsea's route to the final

Quarter-finals: Liverpool or Galatasaray

Semi-finals: Bayern Munich, Atalanta, Manchester City or Real Madrid

Final: Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Newcastle United, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid, Bodo/Glimt or Sporting CP

Liverpool

Liverpool will need to overturn a one-goal deficit against Galatasaray to set up a clash with either Chelsea or PSG in the quarter-finals.

Win that, and they will play one of Bayern Munich, Atalanta, Manchester City or Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

They have the same line-up of potential final opponents as City and Chelsea.

Liverpool's route to the final

Quarter-finals: Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain

Semi-finals: Bayern Munich, Atalanta, Manchester City or Real Madrid

Final: Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, Newcastle United, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid, Bodo/Glimt or Sporting CP

How to watch Tottenham Hotspur v Atletico Madrid in UEFA Champions League last 16 second leg on TNT Sports and discovery+, date, kick-off time

Igor Tudor's Tottenham Hotspur have an almighty job on their hands if they are to preserve their status in the UEFA Champions League. Last week's chastening 5-2 defeat at the Metropolitano leaves the north London side needing to score at least three goals at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - a feat they have not achieved since November - as Tudor seeks a first victory in his Spurs reign.

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to stage one of the great UEFA Champions League comeback stories when they face Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their last-16 tie on Wednesday.

Spurs need to claw back a three-goal deficit at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a harrowing evening in Madrid which saw them slip 4-0 down inside 22 minutes.

Antonin Kinsky, who was making his European debut for Spurs in goal, was substituted on 17 minutes after significant errors for the first and third goals of the evening in an eventful affair.

Tudor's failure to acknowledge Kinsky as he walked down the tunnel attracted criticism from TNT Sports expert Steve McManaman in the aftermath.

Spurs will take heart from the two goals they managed to chalk up at the Metropolitano, and also from their 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday - their first point gained since the appointment of Tudor until the end of the season.

It is poised to be intriguing viewing as Spurs will be forced to be quick out of the blocks. Here is how you can watch on TNT Sports and discovery+.

When is Tottenham Hotspur v Atletico Madrid?

Tottenham Hotspur v Atletico Madrid takes place on Wednesday, March 18 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Kick-off is at 20:00 UK time, with live coverage on TNT Sports 3 and discovery+ starting from 19:00.

Manchester United debate Jadon Sancho options, Mauricio Pochettino to Tottenham links reach 'fever pitch' - Paper Round

TNT Sports

Juventus are looking at Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson as well as Tottenham Hotspur stopper Guglielmo Vicario, while Mauricio Pochettino has again been linked with a move back to north London. Elsewhere, Jadon Sancho is being tracked by a number of clubs, and Manchester United are scrambling to find a suitable replacement for Casemiro ahead of his departure.

Juve monitor two Premier League goalkeepers

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson and Tottenham Hotspur stopper Guglielmo Vicario are targets for Juventus in the summer.

However, the Mirror reports that Liverpool have exercised their option to extend the Brazilian keeper’s contract for another season.

The paper reports: "Liverpool have activated an option to extend Alisson’s contract in order to fight off interest from Juventus. The Brazilian goalkeeper’s current deal was set to expire this summer, with a free transfer potentially on the cards.

"Juventus have been credited with an interest in Alisson’s services but it appears that he will not be on the move any time soon. Liverpool have activated an option to extend his deal by a further campaign which sees him committed to the club until 2027.

"That update comes amid news from Italy that Juventus are going to attempt a fresh move for his services.

"According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian giants have prioritised a move for a new goalkeeper, with Alisson a priority, while Spurs star Guglielmo Vicario is also seen as a potential option."

Pochettino linked with Spurs

The Sun claims that Mauricio Pochettino watched Atletico Madrid play Spurs in the UEFA Champions League in midweek as a guest of the Spanish side, rather than part of a move to appoint him as Igor Tudor’s long-term replacement.

However, the Argentine remains in the frame as a leading contender to be appointed to the role after this summer's World Cup in America.

The paper explains: "Pochettino watched from the stands in disbelief as Tottenham were battered by Atletico on Tuesday.

"It is understood that he was in the Spanish capital as a guest of the hosts rather than running the rule over his potential future employers.

"But speculation over heading back to north London has reached fever pitch after Spurs have endured a season to forget.

"They are in serious danger of dropping out of the Premier League for the first time in their history."

Sancho has options for next season

Aston Villa could yet make a move to sign Jadon Sancho on a free transfer at the end of the season, with Manchester United unlikely to retain him.

The Manchester Evening News also cites Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besiktas, as well as his former club Borussia Dortmund, as potential destinations.

The paper states: "Jadon Sancho could leave Manchester United on a free transfer this summer, but it all depends on the club's stance on one of their last remaining Ruben Amorim 'bomb squad' members.

"However, with his current contract expiring with The Reds this summer, Villa could ultimately snap Sancho up as a free agent come the end of the season. That all depends on how United choose to play their cards, however, given that they have an option to extend his deal by a further year.

"Outside of a permanent move to Villa or extending his contract with Manchester United, Sancho seemingly has a number of options looking toward the future. A number of Turkish Super Lig outfits, including Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besiktas are said to be monitoring his situation, while Borussia Dortmund are also said to be keeping tabs."

United face Casemiro conundrum

With Casemiro poised to leave Manchester United at the end of the season, The Express reports on potential replacements.

Listing the current candidates, the paper notes that Sandro Tonali, Carlos Baleba and Joao Gomes all lack the Brazilian’s goalscoring knack.

The paper explains: "They will also need to figure out how to replace Casemiro, who will wave goodbye to United when his contract expires in the summer. He's endured mixed fortunes since joining the club from Real Madrid in 2022, but it's clear that he will be sorely missed.

"The veteran midfielder initially struggled to hit the ground running, leading Jamie Carragher to infamously state 'the football has left him' after a disasterclass against Crystal Palace in 2024.

"This season, however, Casemiro has defied expectations to become a vital cog in United's midfield machine. He has been equally important in attack and defence, expertly screening the back four while chipping in with crucial goals at the other end of the pitch.

"They might be forced to think outside the box to solve this particular problem. Long-term target Carlos Baleba rarely appears on the scoresheet, while the likes of Joao Gomes and Sandro Tonali only have one goal between them in the Premier League this season."

Igor Tudor had some strong words for his Tottenham Hotspur players before Sunday's game against Liverpool at Anfield. The relegation-threatened club's interim head coach said they could "cry or fight" in a press conference in which he also revealed goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky's reaction to being taken off in a UEFA Champions League fixture against Atletico Madrid after just 17 minutes.

Igor Tudor says Tottenham Hotspur’s problems cannot be blamed on "black magic" or "other bulls***" as he challenged his players to lift the club away from the Premier League’s relegation zone.

Tudor has overseen four successive losses since succeeding Thomas Frank as head coach on a contract until the end of the season.

Things went from bad to worse on Tuesday night when goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was hauled off against Atletico Madrid in the 17th minute after his team conceded three early goals. Tudor’s side went on to lose the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie 5-2.

Spurs, last relegated from the top flight in 1977, are just one point above the Premier League’s relegation zone before Sunday’s game against champions Liverpool at Anfield.

And Tudor had a message for his players at his pre-match press conference on Friday.

"What I always like to say to the players is, 'Don’t be a victim, don’t think it’s not about me,'" Tudor said.

"That can be the problem more than all of these things about Tottenham, the club, you know, like magic on the club, like black magic and this, and the other bulls***, you know.

"So this is about what I want to send as a message."

Tudor also said that the players can "cry or fight" as he addressed the situation that he and his team find themselves in.

He said: "Not an easy situation, not an easy moment. [It's a] big challenge to change things.

"Like everything in life, you can choose how to see the situation. You can cry or you can fight. You can be the victim or you can change something. This is the message I communicated to the players.

"The bottle is either half empty or half full. Here, there is nothing full, there are a lot of empty things.

"But difficult moments don't last forever. It will pass. I believe the players who take this as an opportunity, who stand up with the courage to change these things, will become better people and players afterwards."

Spurs, who won the Europa League last season when Ange Postecoglou was in charge, have not won a Premier League game in 2026.

What Tudor said about Kinsky

Tudor was asked if Kinsky, 22, would play for the club again this season.

"He will play, for sure," said Tudor. "He came back the day after, and was very good and positive in training. Nothing else. This is probably the first and last time that this happened in my life, and the life of a lot of people.

"It is the same message that I had before. You can go out and be the victim. Everyone was sending messages of help, and 'I am with you', and this is nice also.

"He will for sure in his career make other mistakes but I think he has the strength and quality in front of him to have a very good career."
