Lyon 1-1 Porto (1-0)

Without shining in the second leg, Olympique Lyonnais also reached the quarter-finals. Xherdan handed former Shaqiri in the return match against Porto 1-1. Moussa Dembele put Lyon ahead in the 13th minute before Porto Pepe equalized 14 minutes later.

Red Star Belgrade – Glasgow Rangers 2:1 (0:3)
