Champions League Knockout Confirmed: 2025/26 Play-Off Spot Earned!

As a minimum, we have secured a place in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League Play-Off round. With victory over Borussia Dortmund, our points tally jumped to 14 which means we can no longer be eliminated from the competition in the League Phase. That therefore at least secures our place in February's Play-Off round at least. With one game remaining, whether we take part in the Play-Off round or progress directly to the Round of 16 by finishing in the top eight remains to be determined. Once all games in matchweek seven have been completed (Wednesday), we should know if we have secured a place in seeded side of the Play-Off round draw (positions 9-16). What is assured though is that, if we defeat Eintracht Frankfurt next week in Frankfurt, we will finish the league phase in the top eight and progress directly to March's round of 16.
