Champions League: A look at the remaining eight teams
The 2020-21 Champions League is now at the quarter-final stage and fans of all eight of the remaining teams will now start to feel quietly confident about their side’s chances of going on to win the tournament
Champions league Quarter Finals
The 2020-21 Champions League is now at the quarter-final stage and fans of all eight of the remaining teams will now start to feel quietly confident about their side’s chances of going on to win the tournament. However, those dreams could be shattered next month when the quarter-finals take place.For some teams, getting this far is an achievement in itself, but for others, exiting in the quarter-finals is not an option. So, read on as we take a look at all eight of the remaining teams.
Paris Saint-Germain
Last year’s finalists Paris Saint-Germain will be doing all they can to ensure they redeem their agonising 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in last year’s showpiece, which was their first appearance in a Champions League final. PSG brushed aside Barcelona in the round of 16, winning 5-2 on aggregate, and they will fear no foes in their pursuit of glory.Liverpool
Six-time champions Liverpool haven’t had the best of times domestically. However, they breezed past RB Leipzig into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, winning 4-0 on aggregate. There are bigger fish to fry in the competition if the Reds want to add a seventh title to their trophy cabinet and they will need to be at the best of their ability if they are to do so.Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich are arguably the team to beat again this year. If you do sports betting from your mobile, you’d have noticed that the German giants are favourites to win the Champions League and all of the remaining teams will want to avoid Hans-Dieter Flick’s men, who thrashed Lazio 6-2 on aggregate to reach the quarter-finals.Manchester City
Manchester City are still on the hunt for their first Champions League title. It’s somewhat of a mystery that the Premier League side are yet to use their financial backing to get their hands on Europe’s top competition. Every year seems to be the year they are tipped to win, but could this be their time? We’ll have to wait and see.Chelsea
When Chelsea were drawn to face Atlético Madrid in the round of 16 back in December, not many would have fancied the west London side’s chances of reaching the last eight. However, Thomas Tuchel, who replaced Frank Lampard, has steadied the ship and the Blues will be no pushovers in the quarter-finals.Real Madrid
Whilst Real Madrid can never truly be written off, they won’t be as feared by the rest of the pack as they once were. Zinedine Zidane’s side look disjointed at the best of times, and despite easing past Atalanta, most of the remaining teams will certainly fancy their chances against Los Blancos.Porto
Porto are the quarter-finals’ surprise package. Few would have expected the Portuguese outfit to get past Juventus and the prowess of Cristiano Ronaldo. However, they did just that, progressing to the last eight on away goals and they must not be underestimated by anyone.Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund have the ability to throw a spanner in the works. Erling Håland is every defender’s worst nightmare and keeping him at bay proves to be a difficult task. Dortmund’s downfall, however, is their leaky defence and teams will be out to exploit that at every given opportunity. Their quarter-final promises to be a goal fest.Upcoming Champions League Matches
Barcelona

9:00 pm
Brest
Defeated in Monaco 2-1 on the opening day, FC Barcelona showed that this misstep was just an accident with no future. The Blaugrana continued with 3 successes obtained in style against Young Boys of Bern 5-0, Bayern Munich 4-1 and Red Star Belgrade 2-5. The Catalans are virtually qualified for the round of 16 but they will want to continue their momentum to get closer to the top places. In the league, they are logically at the top of the standings despite their defeat before the break against Real Sociedad 1-0, putting an end to a series of 7 victories in all competitions. Hansi Flick's team is ahead of its runner-up, Real Madrid, by 6 points before its trip to Celta Vigo on Saturday. Stade Brestois was not expected at this level in the Champions League.
While many promised a difficult campaign with poor results, the Breton club defied all predictions in the first half of the league phase by achieving 3 wins in 4 matches, for a 1-1 draw against Leverkusen. Winner of Sturm Graz 2-1, Salzburg 0-4 and Sparta Prague 1-2, the Ligue 1 resident has 10 points and is in 4th place in the ranking. A positioning which would offer him access to the round of 16 at the end of the league phase. In the championship, Eric Roy's team is not sublime like last season but is not at the bottom of the ranking either. She is 12th before traveling to Monaco on Friday where she intends to stop a series of 2 defeats in the exercise.

Bayer Leverkusen

Salzburg
Good beginnings and a checkered continuity. This is the assessment to be made of Bayer halfway through the league phase of the Champions League. He started with successes against Feyenoord 0-4 and AC Milan 1-0 before conceding a draw in France against Brest 1-1 and being defeated by Liverpool 4-0, still on the road. These results make the club from across the Rhine 13th in the ranking. He is thus virtually qualified for the play-offs but is 2 points behind 8th, the last direct qualifier for the round of 16. In the championship, the German team, reigning champion, is struggling to confirm its status. Leverkusen is only 4th in the standings after having won 4 wins in 10 days. Xabi Alonso's team returned to the field on Saturday at home against Heidenheim with the ambition of winning.
It remained in a draw in Bochum 1-1 before the international break. Accustomed to playing in the Champions League for several years and even eighth finalist in 2022, Salzburg is not at its best in this campaign in the new format. After the first 4 days of the league phase, the Bullen are only 30th in the standings, 2 points from 24th place offering a last qualifying place for the play-offs to reach the round of 16. They took their first points in the competition on the last day at Feyenoord 1-3 after losing their first 3 matches including a scathing 0-4 score at home against Brest. The title escaped Salzburg last season in the Austrian championship and this will once again be the case in the current year if the formation of the Red Bull galaxy does not pull itself together. Defeated by BW Linz 2-0 before the break and opposed to LASK Linz on Saturday, the boss of Austrian football is only in 4th place in the ranking.

PSG
The locals from Bayern Munich can do much better given their 17th place in the standings. Their narrow victory on the last day against Benfica 1-0 was difficult to obtain and cannot yet forget the defeats on the road against Aston Villa 1-0 and FC Barcelona 4-1. The German giant, winner of the Champions League for the last time in 2020 against... PSG, found its cruising speed before the international break. The cut stopped him from his momentum of 5 victories in all competitions, all without conceding a goal. The Bavarians are logically at the top of their championship with 5 points ahead of their runner-up. In this exercise in which they are still undefeated, they hosted Augsburg on Friday.
PSG, for their part, is not in its place halfway through the league phase. The three-time reigning French champion has only won one of his first four matches in the competition, on the first day against Girona 1-0 after an unsatisfactory performance. Then, the capital club logically lost to Arsenal 2-0 before being held on home ground by PSV Eindhoven 1-1 and beaten, still at the Parc des Princes, by Atlético de Madrid 1-2. Thus, it is in 25th place in the ranking including 36 teams. His positioning currently gives him the first eliminatory place. The more than sluggish performances of Luis Enrique's team on a continental scale have no impact on their career in the championship. Still undefeated, she logically dominates the debates on the national scene and had the ambition to increase her lead over her runner-up on Friday against Toulouse, to best prepare for this shock in Bavaria.

Inter

RB Leipzig
Finalist of the Champions two years ago by losing by the smallest of margins against Manchester City, Inter Milan, for several seasons has once again become a big fish in European football. Winner of their 20th Scudetto last year, the Nerazzurri have revenge to take in this C1 following their exit in the 1/8th final last year, defeated by Arsenal after penalties. For the moment, everything is going wrong for the Italians who beat Arsenal 1-0 on the previous day, following on from their success against Young Boys of Berne with a goal from Marcus Thuram at the end of the match 0 -1, as well as a success full of panache for the arrival of Red Star Belgrade 4-0. If we count the point from the draw snatched from the Etihad against Man City during the 1st day 0-0, Inter therefore remains undefeated in this new format of the big-eared cup. In Calcio, the Milanese are well on their way to achieving the back-to-back by occupying the first rows top 4. Just before the break, Inzaghi's men had held the leader, Naples, in check at home 1 -1, thus pushing for a 10th match without defeat in all competitions. Last weekend, Inter defended this series and its spot in the first car of Serie A on the Hellas Verona meadow to follow.
Opposite, we find another rather posh formation on paper, the RB Leipzig who are currently achieving nothing in this new format with four defeats in as many days. Afterwards, it must be said that the draw did not spare the players of the Red Bull franchise with a perilous trip to the pitch of Atlético Madrid 2-1, the reception of the revival of Juventus under the paw of Thiago Motta 2-3, and the arrival of the undisputed leader of this new version of the Champions, Liverpool 0-1. On the other hand, during J4, even on the road, the RBL had to bring back a little something from Scotland against Celtic Glasgow, but it only brought back a 3-1 defeat. In the Bundesliga, it wasn't the big party before the break either as the evening visitors lost to Borussia Dortmund 2-1, before being held by Borussia Mönchengladbach at home 0-0. Traveling to Hoffenheim last weekend, Marco Rose's men knew that they were expected to get back on track.

Manchester City

Feyenoord
Like every season for several years now, Manchester City is one of the favorites for this prestigious big-eared cup trophy. However, despite a rather easy schedule, City has the same number of points as Lille, Leverkusen, Arsenal and Atlético Madrid, i.e. seven points after four days. Pep Guardiola's men are less killer and less dominant in the game, but still, no one saw them being torn apart by Sporting with a hat-trick from Viktor Gyökeres 4-1. Remember that on the first day, the SkyBlues were hampered by Inter 0-0 before winning calmly against Slovan Bratislava 0-4, and Sparta Prague at home 5-0. We almost want to say, fortunately for the Cityzens who did not inherit tougher opponents regarding hats 3 and 4. The truce came at the right time for Man City who recorded a record of four successive defeats in all competitions confused against Brighton 2-1, and Bournemouth 2-1 in the Premier League, the correction in the LDC against Sporting, and a surprise elimination in the 1/8th final of the EFL Cup against the Tottenham Spurs 2-1.
Coincidence or not, last weekend, the quadruple title holders in PL welcomed Tottenham in the championship in order to relaunch themselves to follow. On the other side of the meadow, we note the presence of Feyenoord and casually, the club belonging to the Eredivisie stands out within the top 24 by being 21st, ahead of clubs like PSV, PSG, Girona and Atlético Madrid. After 4 days, the Dutch have 6 points, which is the average, and are in any case not expected to reach the top 8. Although, with the surprises of this new format like Lille or Brest, we could expect All. On the previous day, Feyenoord hosted Red Bull Salzburg and could hope to record a third victory in a row after the successes against Benfica at the Luz 1-3, and against Girona at the Montilivi 2-3, but ultimately, it was well the defeat which took shape 1-3. In the league, the club located in the south of Rotterdam occupies the upper echelons and hosted Heerenveen last weekend, in order to chase a 2nd successive victory in the elite after the one obtained just before the break against Almere City with the 1- 4.

Slovan Bratislava

AC Milan
Slovan Bratislava hits rock bottom in the Champions League. The six-time reigning Slovakian champion lost his first 4 matches on the European scene and is logically in last place in the ranking with the second worst defense of the year, as evidenced by his 15 goals conceded. During the last days of C1, the Slovak team was dominated in Girona 2-0 and on home ground by Dinamo Zagreb with a score of 1-4. At the same time, she looks much better in the championship. Slovan Bratislava is at the top of the standings and went to Kosice on Friday to keep or increase its 3-point lead over its runner-up. AC Milan got off to a bad start to its European campaign, being dominated by Liverpool 1-3 and Leverkusen.
1-0 but knew how to react during the following days. Indeed, the Lombard club first took its first points against Club Bruges 3-1 and continued its momentum, surprisingly, on the pitch of Real Madrid 1-3 before the international break. With 6 points on the clock, the Milanese are 20th at halfway and therefore virtually qualified for a play-off to the round of 16. On the domestic stage, Paulo Fonseca's team hosted Juventus on Saturday. 7th in Serie A, it was imperative to win over the Turinese to reduce its delay in the qualifying places for a continental competition.

Sparta Prague

6:45 pm
Atl. Madrid
Halfway through this league phase, Sparta Prague is virtually eliminated from the Champions League. The Czech club is 26th, one point from 24th position, the last place offering access to the play-offs. He remains on defeats against Manchester City 5-0 and Brest 1-2. Setbacks which made us forget his good start to the campaign, which materialized with a victory and a draw after the first two days. On the national scene, the double reigning champion of the Czech Republic is only 4th in the ranking. He remained with 2 defeats and a draw in the exercise before resuming the competition on Saturday with the reception of the poorly ranked Teplice.
Quarter-finalist of the last edition, Atlético de Madrid is in 23rd place in the ranking, the penultimate qualifier for the play-offs. The Colchoneros were punished by being defeated by a heavy score by Benfica 4-0 and by Lille at home 1-3. They recovered somewhat by winning at the end of the suspense on the PSG field 1-2 but this big blow does not allow them to appear higher in the ranking. The Madrid club received Alavés on Saturday with the ambition of extending its series of 4 victories in all competitions. It is 3rd in Liga, one point behind Real but 7 behind FC Barcelona, solid leader in Spain.
