The second legs of the UCL third qualifying round have concluded

The second legs of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round have concluded, with all teams now set for the decisive play-off stage—the final hurdle before the group phase of Europe’s premier club competition.

Benfica booked their spot in the play-offs with a commanding 2-0 home win over OGC Nice, and once again, it was Anatoliy Trubin who stood tall between the posts. The 24-year-old Ukrainian goalkeeper delivered another flawless performance, keeping a clean sheet for the third consecutive match this season. Trubin’s assured presence has quickly made him a cornerstone in Roger Schmidt’s setup as the Lisbon giants push for another deep European run.

Elsewhere, in one of the most eye-catching results of the night, Fenerbahçe overturned a first-leg deficit to thrash Feyenoord 5-2 in Istanbul, securing their progression in dramatic fashion. Among the scorers was Brazilian midfielder Fred—a familiar name to fans of Shakhtar Donetsk, where he spent five influential seasons before moves to Manchester United and now to Turkey. The goal capped off a dynamic midfield display and underlined his continued importance to José Mourinho’s side.
