Champions League playoff bracket finalized; Celtic, Fenerbahce crash out

There were some notable results as the third Champions League qualifying round reached its conclusion Tuesday with 10 second-leg ties taking place across Europe.

Arguably the round's biggest heavyweight clash between Fenerbache and Benfica - the Turkish league and Portuguese league runners-up, respectively - played out to a 1-1 draw, which saw the Lisbon side progress courtesy of its 1-0 win at home in the first leg.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers' Celtic suffered their earliest continental exit since 2011-12 thanks to a dismal 2-1 defeat at Greek champion AEK Athens. The Yellow-Blacks had earned a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Glasgow despite playing the majority of the final 35 minutes with 10 men.
