It's time for the second legs of the UEFA Champions League knockout play-offs, and by the end of Wednesday, we will know the makeup of the Round of 16 stage. Follow all the action live with us here across both nights of drama.

Tuesday, February 24th

23:25 CET - That's all from another entertaining evening in the Champions League, but be sure to tune in again tomorrow as the second legs of the play-offs continue, with Real Madrid, Juventus and holders PSG all in action.

Check out Wednesday's schedule here.

23:00 CET - Well, the evening's matches are over with Bodo/Glimt, Newcastle, Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid all through to the Round of 16, while Inter, Qarabag, Olympiacos and Club Brugge are now all eliminated from the Champions League.

The draw for the rest of the tournament will be held on Friday, but we do know that Bodo will face either Sporting or Man City next, Newcastle will play Barcelona or Chelsea, Bayer will draw Arsenal or Bayern, and Atleti could face only Liverpool or Tottenham.

Here's all you need to know about the draw!

22:52 CET - IT'S ALL OVER IN MILAN! Bodo/Glimt have sensationally beaten Inter 2-1 on the night, 5-2 on aggregate, to progress to the Round of 16 and keep their incredible dream run alive.

Where do we begin? Bodo have become the first Norwegian side to ever progress to the last 16 of the UCL, and they've now beaten Inter (twice), Atletico Madrid and Man City already this season. When will the run stop? Who knows! The sky appears to be the limit for Kjetil Knutsen's side.

22:50 CET - In Germany, Bayer Leverkusen have also progressed to the last 16 after playing out a goalless draw with Olympiacos - Bayer won the tie 2-0.

22:49 CET - Newcastle have beaten Qarabag 3-2, and 9-3 on aggregate, to cruise into the round of 16. It was an entertaining match, but really, the Azeris always had far too much to do.

22:35 CET - Inter have a goal back through Alessandro Bastoni, it's now 2-1 to Bodo/Glimt, and 5-2 on aggregate. It feels like too little, too late: The hosts still need three goals in less than 15 minutes of regular time.

22:30 CET - THEY'VE DONE IT AGAIN! IT'S 2-0 TO BODO/GLIMT! Just when Inter looked to be huffing and puffing for a goal, Hakon Evjen has smashed home after being played in on a counterattack. Brilliant stuff.

At 5-1, surely that is the tie over. The fans are in dreamland, they know it: They're going to the Round of 16!

22:16 CET - BODO/GLIMT HAVE SCORED! Would you believe it, after sitting back and soaking up pressure for the entire match, the Norwegians have stolen a goal through Jens Hauge. The former AC Milan man breaks Inter hearts at the San Siro!

That puts Bodo 4-1 up in the tie, and you feel that may just put it beyond doubt with only 30 minutes to go...

22:12 CET - It's truly all happening at St. James' Park. Qarabag have now made it 3-2, even after Marko Jankovic missed a penalty.

22:07 CET - And just like that, Newcastle have restored their two-goal lead on the night, it's 3-1 now. Sven Botman has scored for the Magpies to reinstate their enormous seven-goal cushion.

22:05 CET - Qarabag have pulled a goal back against Newcastle, but the side from Baku still trail 8-2 in the tie... It's a long, long way back yet. 

22:03 CET - We are back underway around the grounds. Bodo/Glimt only need to hang on for 45 more minutes to complete (another) one of the great Champions League upsets!

Elsewhere, Newcastle are all but through, and Bayer Leverkusen have one foot in the next round.

21:49 CET - Bodo are halfway there! They've made it to the break at 0-0, leaving Inter in need of two goals in the next 45 minutes.

This is going to get nervy.

21:46 CET - It's half-time in Newcastle and in Leverkusen, where Bayer and Olympiacos are goalless, meaning the German side still lead 2-0 on aggregate.

21:27 CET - We're approaching the 30-minute mark, and while Inter are dominating the ball and pushing for an opener, Bodo/Glimt are holding firm thus far.

To give you an idea of the gulf between the two clubs, there are around 60,000 Inter fans in the stadium tonight, while the entire town of Bodo has a population of around 40,000. This really would be an upset for the ages.

21:15 CET - It's been an open start at the San Siro, where Inter have gone close a few times and Bodo/Glimt have almost created openings of their own.

Speaking of open, Newcastle are now 2-0 up courtesy of Joelinton and 8-1 up on aggregate. It's fair to say that tie is done...

21:04 CET - We're underway in Milan, as well as in Newcastle and Leverkusen, where the hosts are in strong positions against Qarabag and Olympiacos, especially with the Premier League side getting an early goal to make it 6-0 on aggregate.

20:50 CET - Right then, time to turn our attention from Madrid to Milan, where Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt are looking to complete what would arguably be the biggest upset in the history of Champions League knockout football.

They lead Inter, last year's finalists, 3-1 after claiming a famous win in the first leg, but holding off the Serie A leaders at the San Siro will surely be a mammoth task. However, with them also beating Atleti and Man City in the two games before this tie, write them off at your peril.

Their chances will also be hugely boosted by the fact that the hosts are without star man and captain Lautaro Martinez.

20:38 CET - The full-time whistle has blown on the first match of the night and confirmed Atletico Madrid's place in the last 16, with the Spanish side beating Club Brugge 4-1 on the night and 7-4 on aggregate.

Next up for them is either Liverpool or Tottenham.

20:31 CET - We have a hat-trick in the Spanish capital, with Sorloth heading in his third from a corner to rub salt in Club Brugge's wounds.

It's a very flattering scoreline for Atleti, but they won't care one bit.

20:16 CET - Sorloth makes it three! The Norwegian has bagged his second of the night, finishing off a counter-attack and surely finishing off the tie.

Club Brugge now need two goals in around 15 minutes to take this clash to extra time.

19:53 CET - Atleti are back in front! A brilliant finish from Johnny Cardoso on the edge of the box gives the hosts a 5-4 aggregate lead.

19:49 CET - We're back underway in the Spanish capital for a huge second half!

19:36 CET - We've reached the halfway stage in Madrid, and there's nothing to separate Atletico and Club Brugge after an entertaining opening period.

Alexander Sorloth's 23rd-minute strike was cancelled by Joel Ordonez, setting up a fascinating second half at the Metropolitano Stadium, with the aggregate score tied at 4-4.
