Yeah a bit surprised to see Celtic knocked out even though they are one of the familiar teams in the Champions League, this is not just luck but clearly we are seeing a decline in performance from Celtic. We already have several teams that have secured their place in this second leg, Kairat, Pafos, Bodo Glimt, Qarabag and still waiting for 3 more teams tomorrow, of course Benfica vs Fenerbahce caught our attention and a draw in the first leg is an advantage for Benfica this means that in the second leg Benfica will play at home with full support from the fans..
The second leg presents Benfica's best opportunity to get all three points because in addition to playing at home, they also have a chance to win. The match statistics from the first leg provide some insight into the strengths of both teams, although the red card received by a Benfica player in the 70th minute made little difference. However, everything could change when the match takes place at Benfica's home ground, as this team can be much stronger and highly motivated when playing at home.
