Coming from Old Trafford with a stalemate, many believed AC Milan will come out victorious in the return leg at San Siro. Manchester United once again prove why their away record is still untouched, they have an excellent record away from home.

It took Paul Pogba three minutes after his introduction to put Man Utd. on the lead. Pogba who have missed the last ten matches owning to injury. His 48th-minute strike was enough to put the match to an end and hand Manchester United a place in the next round.

Tottenham, on the other hand, had to bottle two goals lead from the first leg to be dumped out of the competition. Their abysmal performance ensured Dinamo Zagreb finds their way into the next round, with a 3-0 victory over the North London team.

On paper, Tottenham was the favourite to advance to the next round, with a 2-0 lead from London. Harry Kane's two goals from the last encounter were not enough, as Zagreb's Mirslav Orsic pulled a hattrick to ensure his side down the London side. Orsic 83rd minute strike took the match to extra time, which he buried with a lovely strike in the 106th minute.

Another poor performance by another London team gave Olympiacos a victory, but a goal was not enough to put the Greek side in the next round. Despite the poor performance, a 3-1 lead from Greece ensured Arsenal are in The quarter-finals.

A 51st-minute strike from El-Arabi handed Olympiacos victory in London. With Arsenal's captain missing a few clear cut chances to have given Arsenal the lead or even hand them the victory. Aubameyang, who was axed from the team over the weekend due to disciplinary issues was back in the team to lead the attack.

Olympiacos, who sent Arsenal packing from the competition last year, were unable to repeat the same feat. Having a go at the ball possession and a red card to Ousseynou Ba, never dismiss Olympiacos class.

Teams will be hoping for an easier draw, as the draw is set to take place by 12 pm, on Friday. With Arsenal, Man Utd, Dinamo Zagreb, Ajax, AS Roma, Slava Prague, Villareal and Granada in the quarter-finals.
