The Champions League Round of 16 is big, but with creators there, it feels even bigger.

The Champions League Round of 16 is where every match feels one step closer to the final. The stakes rise, and stadiums get louder.

But this year, the atmosphere wasn’t only experienced by the players on the pitch or the fans in the stands. Our creators were invited by Just Eat Takeaway, Crypto and WhiteBIT to experience these nights from inside the stadiums, capturing the energy and the moments that make Champions League football special.

Across Europe, creators weren’t just watching the games. They were part of them.

And as the road to the final continues, they’re bringing fans along for every step of the journey.
