English giants dominate line-up for last-16 draw

The Star

February 27, 2026

THE draw for the latter stages of this season's Champions League takes place today with Newcastle United’s midweek victory against Qarabag meaning an unprecedented six English sides will feature in the last 16.

The Premier League's financial might has not always translated into dominance in continental competition, with no English club featuring in the last two Champions League finals.

There has been an English winner of Europe’ elite club competition just twice in the last six seasons, and just three times in the last 13 years.

One argument put forward for such a relative lack of success in the Champions League given the financial strength of England's top flight is the intense competitive nature of their domestic league.

That can sap energy from teams late in the season, while the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain often have such a margin over rivals within their own countries that they can be fresher going into crunch Champions League knockout ties.
