As we approach the last 16 phase, there are quite a number of clubs whose fates are still undecided. Nevertheless, here is what it will take for these teams to make it to the next round.

The likes of Juventus, Manchester United and Dortmund are all facing exits after defeats in the first leg, while Ajax, Liverpool and Real Madrid must win if they want to continue in the tournament.

Everything will be on the line in the second leg, with away goals potentially playing a massive part. But what result does each team need in order to qualify for the quarter-finals?

Man United face an uphill battle when they travel to Paris Saint-Germain. The Red Devils were beaten 2-0 by the French giants in the first leg and will need to score three away goals at the Parc des Princes in order to secure their progress to the quarter-finals.

Should Man United score twice in France to level the scoreline to 2-2 on aggregate, the game will then go into extra-time and penalties. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side must score at least twice – and make sure PSG do not score – if they want any chance of qualifying for the next round.

For PSG, however, their task is more straightforward and doable. They have scored two crucial away goals, and so are not obligated to score in the second leg. A 0-0 draw at the Parc des Princes will ensure that they win the tie 2-0 on aggregate. A 1-1 draw will also mean that the French side progress. Should they concede twice against Man United and fail to score on Wednesday, as mentioned before, the tie will be forced into extra-time.
