I noticed Something Special about this year round of 16 UEFA Champions League.
It was really fantastic and amazing as it all happened.

The Round of 16 of the 2022 UEFA Champions League proved compelling with several of the favorites going through -- Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Liverpool and defending champions Chelsea -- with a handful of surprise teams also advancing.
There is one major rule change to keep in mind for these knockouts: For the first time since 1965, there is no away goals tiebreaker in the case that the aggregate-goal series are tied after 180 minutes of action. Teams will head straight into a 30-minute extra time session, followed by a penalty-kick shootout if the deadlock persists.

It's worth noting that the group winners got to host the second legs as a perk for finishing as the top team in their group (hosting potential extra time or penalty-kick sessions is deemed an edge). But the home teams went 2W-5L-1D in those second legs. Not much of an advantage.
Surprisingly, some teams that finished second in their own group(Chelsea, Atletico, Benfica, Villarreal) won all their away matches.

Check this out:
Do you know that only 4 out of the 8 group winners qualified to quarter final ?
1. Manchester City
2. Bayern munich
3. Real Madrid
4. Liverpool

Meanwhile the other 4 group winners couldn't
1. Juventus
2. Lille
3. Manchester United
4. Ajax

Instead the 4 runners up that played their away games on Tuesday and Wednesday all qualified.
1. Chelsea FC
2. Atletico Madrid
3. Villarreal
4. Benfica

Wow, this is incredible.
Football is good.
