Nicolás Otamendi, defender of Benfica, was also eliminated after falling to PSV Eindhoven. Additionally, Exequiel Palacios, midfielder of Bayer Leverkusen, was knocked out after losing to Real Sociedad.
"I am very disappointed to be eliminated from the Champions League, it is a very important competition and we always want to go as far as possible," Palacios expressed after his team's elimination.
Despite these exits, Ángel Di María and Lautaro Martínez managed to advance to the round of 16 with Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan respectively.
