The UEFA Women’s Champions League Round of 16 field is nearly set as teams advance to fight it out in 2021. Lyon are through again, as are 14 other clubs (one series was postponed) battling to dethrone the five-time reining champs. Here is a quick look at the second-leg matches from the Round of 32, with home teams listed first. Round-of-16 matchups will be drawn Feb. 16, with games in the first and second weeks of March.
Lyon 3, Juventus 0 (6-2 on aggregate)
Juventus played the holders tough again but Lyon advanced safely behind an early goal from Dzsenifer Marozsan that upped the aggregate lead to two. Melvine Malard and Janice Cayman added late goals to make it a runaway.
Fortuna Hjorring 3, Pomurje 2 (6-2 on aggregate)
Emma Snerle’s first-half, stoppage-time goal made it 4-0 on aggregate and erased any lingering doubts over Hjorring advancing to the last 16.
Barcelona 4, PSV 1 (8-2 on aggregate)

Rosengard did not hold back, opening up a 3-0 lead after 17 minutes and 4-0 after a half hour. Jelena Cankovic had a hat trick and Anna Anvegard added two goals. Tougher times lie ahead for the Swedish victors.

Minsk won the day on Anastasiia Skorynina’s goal in the 72nd minute but they needed an equalizer for the tie. It never came and LSK went through. Emilie Haavi’s goal in the 2nd minute of the first leg turned out to be an early blow which Minsk could not overcome.
Manchester City 3, Goteborg 0 (5-1 on aggregate)
After struggling some in the away leg, Manchester City rolled into the Round of 16. Leading 1-0 at the half and 3-1 on aggregate, Georgia Stanway put it away with two goals in short order between the 65th and 68th minutes. Stanway had three goals over the two matches.
Slavia Prague 0, Fiorentina 1 (2-3 on aggregate)

Former NWSL standout Nadia Nadim hit the opener for PSG. Ewelina Kamczyk got the honor of scoring for the Polish side.
Glasgow City 0, Sparta Prague 1 (1-3 on aggregate)

Bethany England scored twice and Sam Kerr continued her sharp form with a goal as Chelsea eased through to the next round.
