2004/05 UEFA Champions League continued...
First Knockout Round
Smaller teams such as Standard, M. Haifa, and Red Star are through to the Quarter Finals. Red Star even knocked out Euro League side Lyon! AC Milan needed to wait for the second leg to surely secure themselves a spot in the Quarter Finals. Stuttgart from Germany, defeated Beveren 2-0 at home and drew 0-0 away. FC Porto won on aggregate against Atletico Madrid after winning 1-0 in the away leg (at home). Middlesbrough gave Paris a very good challenge, but Paris managed to get that second leg victory and thereby advance. FC Bayern, still continuing to impress the most, defeat Parma 4-1 on aggregate and enter the Quarter Finals.
Quarter Finals
