Champions League play-offs: Three new teams qualify ahead of Thursday’s draw

Three teams confirmed their spots in the league phase of this season’s Champions League on Tuesday.

They are Bodø/Glimt, Sabah and LASK.

Bodø/Glimt are returning to the competition for a second consecutive season.

They will be joined by two debutants, Sabah of Azerbaijan and LASK of Austria.

Bodø/Glimt saw off NEC Nijmegen, while Sabah defeated Hapoel Be’er Sheva in extra time.

LASK were trailing 4-0 on aggregate to Celtic, who had taken a three-goal lead from the first leg in Glasgow last week. However, LASK went on to win 5-1 on the night.

Four more playoff second-leg games on Wednesday will confirm the final teams to join the 36-team league phase.

The draw for the league phase will be conducted on Thursday in Monaco.
