Five teams have qualified for the Champions League knockout round.

After the sixth round of the classification stage, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Atalanta are the five teams that have secured their places in the Champions League knockout round.

PSG were held to a draw but still qualified for the next round.

With a 3-0 victory over Club Brugge, Arsenal accumulated 18 points after 6 matches and secured a place in the top 8. A 3-1 win against Sporting Lisbon also gave Bayern Munich 15 points after 6 matches, guaranteeing them a position in the top 24.

Even if they lose both of their remaining classification matches, Bayern Munich cannot drop below 20th place, a safe spot that leads directly to the play-off stage for a place in the round of 16.

They are now 7 points ahead of the team in 19th place. The remaining two matches are now just an opportunity for Bayern to consolidate their top 8 position and secure a seeded spot in the round of 16.

Meanwhile, PSG, despite being held to a 0-0 draw by Bilbao, still earned 13 points, securing their place in the top 24. Manchester City and Atalanta also have 13 points after 6 matches, giving them a 7-point lead over 25th-placed Benfica.

Even if they lose both of their remaining classification matches, PSG, Manchester City, and Atalanta cannot drop below 24th place, a safe spot that leads directly to the play-off stage for a place in the round of 16.

Under the new format of the Champions League, 36 teams compete in a qualifying round, where the top eight go straight into the round of 16, with places 9 to 24 going into a two-legged play-off, while the bottom 12 are eliminated altogether.
