Champions League: All 16 teams that qualified for knockout stages confirmed

By Joseph Ayinde 

Villarreal became the last team to qualify for the Champions League round of 16, following their 3-2 win over Atalanta on Thursday.

The Group F fixture was postponed from Wednesday because of heavy snowing.

Arnaut Danjuma scored twice, as the LaLiga side raced into a three-goal lead, with Etienne Capoue also getting on the scoresheet.

However, substitute Ruslan Malinovskiy fired home to give Atalanta hope 19 minutes from time.

Duvan Zapata scored again for Atalanta with a well-taken goal, but it was not enough as Villarreal secured second spot behind Manchester United.

Unai Emery’s men will now enter into Monday’s draw.
