Champions League results on Wednesday leave qualifying position looking like this

Eighteen Champions League fixtures this midweek.

The seventh round of matches played across Tuesday and Wednesday.

Each of the 36 clubs play four games at home and four away, in this Swiss League phase.

There were nine Champions League fixtures on Tuesday 20 January.

Then the other nine yesterday. Wednesday’s matches including Newcastle United at home to PSV Eindhoven.

In the Swiss League phase of the Champions League, the top eight clubs will automatically go through to the last 16 knockout stages.

Whilst those 16 clubs finishing between 9th and 24th out of the 36 teams, will go into the play-offs to decide the other eight clubs in the last 16.

That leaves the Champions League table on the morning of Thursday 22 January 2026

Things now look a lot clearer with the completion of this seventh round of games.

What it now means for Newcastle United?

The Newcastle 3 PSV 0 result has guaranteed that as a minimum, Eddie Howe’s team will have a two leg play-off for a place in the last 16 knockout stages.

Whilst with such a dominant goal difference compared to the other teams on 13 points, Newcastle United will in reality be guaranteed a top eight automatic qualifying spot if winning against PSG in Paris next Wednesday.
