2019/20 Champions League: what's happened so far

The UEFA Champions League season was put on hold in March due to the COVID-19 outbreak, with four of the eight round of 16 ties concluded.

With the competition set to return on Friday 7 August, UEFA.com picks up the threads.

Who is still in contention?
Highlights: Real Madrid 1-2 Man. City
Through to the quarter-finals: Atalanta, Atlético Madrid, Leipzig, Paris Saint-Germain.

None of those four teams has ever won the competition, and Atalanta and Leipzig are both in the last eight for the first time. Indeed, this is Atalanta's first season in the UEFA Champions League, and only Leipzig's second.

Round of 16 ties to be concluded:

Barcelona v Napoli (agg: 1-1)
Bayern München v Chelsea (agg: 3-0)
Juventus v Lyon (agg: 0-1)
Manchester City v Real Madrid (agg: 2-1)

Barcelona, Bayern, Chelsea, Juventus and Real Madrid are all former European champions, though only four of those sides can make it to the next stage (since Bayern are up against Chelsea), and three are trailing from the first leg of their ties.

Holders Liverpool were eliminated by Atlético in one of the four ties that has already concluded.

With Manchester City in contention in the UEFA Champions League, and Manchester United on course in the UEFA Europa League round of 16, it is possible that both the big UEFA club competition trophies could be won by city rivals. This has happened twice before: AC Milan and Inter Milan won the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup respectively in 1994 while Real Madrid and Atlético matched that with simultaneous UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League successes in 2018.


It's a fact: Chelsea (in 2011/12) were the only side in the last 22 editions of the Champions League to become European champions for the first time. The last side before them to get their hands on the European Cup for the first time were Dortmund in 1997.

Who are the top scorers?

Bayern's Robert Lewandowski has scored 11 times in this season's competition: one more than eliminated Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland and five more than the other most prolific marksmen left in the competition: Napoli's Dries Mertens and Bayern's Serge Gnabry, who have scored six each.

This is already Lewandowski's most prolific season in the UEFA Champions League proper; his best previous tally was ten with Dortmund in 2012/13.

He could become the first Polish player to finish as top scorer in Europe's top club competition. The last player to finish as top scorer in the competition while playing for a German club was Werder Bremen's Wynton Rufer in 1993/94, whose eight goals meant he shared first place with Barcelona's Ronald Koeman. The last Bayern player to be the European Cup's top scorer was Dieter Hoeness, with seven goals in 1981/82.

Eliminated Ajax's Hakim Ziyech is the assist king in the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League so far, laying on five goals for team-mates. Of the players left in the competition, Bayern's Corentin Tolisso and Paris's Ángel Di María and Kylian Mbappé have provided four assists each.
