Inter will play Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League knockout play-off, while Juventus have been drawn against Galatasaray, and Atalanta will face Borussia Dortmund.
The draw for the Champions League knockout playoff took place today, Friday, January 30, 2026, in Nyon.
See how it unfolded in the liveblog.
Inter will play against Bodo/Glimt, Juventus have picked Galatasaray, while Atalanta will meet Borussia Dortmund.
Inter, Juventus and Atalanta finished out of the top eight, missing out on direct qualification for the Round of 16, while Napoli were eliminated, finishing 30th.
All the Italian representatives, however, were seeded teams as Inter finished 10th, Juventus 13th and Atalanta 15th. This means they’ll play the return leg at home.
The first leg will be played on February 17 and 18, the return leg on February 24 and 25. UEFA will provide the dates for each play-off fixture in the coming hours.
If Inter qualify for the Round of 16, they’ll meet Sporting CP or Manchester City. Juventus will surely fly to England if they progress to the next phase, meeting either Liverpool or Tottenham. The possible Atalanta opponents in the Round of 16 are Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
