Champions League Qualifiers: Final Day of Third Round Set for High Drama
The road to the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 continues tonight as the third qualifying round reaches its decisive conclusion. A total of 10 crucial second-leg ties will be played, with the winners advancing to the playoff round, while the losing sides will drop into the UEFA Europa League.
One of the evening's most closely watched fixtures features Dynamo Kyiv, who face an uphill battle after a shock 0-1 home defeat to Pafos FC. The Ukrainian giants must now overturn the deficit away in Cyprus to keep their Champions League hopes alive. Kick-off is set for 20:00 local time (Kyiv).
Another match drawing major attention from Ukrainian fans will see Benfica in action, with national team goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin expected to start between the posts. The Portuguese side holds a comfortable 2-0 advantage from the first leg and will look to see the job through at home. That clash kicks off at 21:00 CET.
