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.

While we promised him a complicated match last week, Arsenal outlined the PSV on his lawn by having a very wide success 1-7 which allows him to be able to consider the next round. Already very solid during the league phase where they had taken the 3rd final place in the ranking, the English justified their status as a favorite in this double confrontation by carrying out a festival in the Netherlands for their return to the competition after having been exempt from dams. The Gunners confirmed that they bet a lot on this Champions League since in the first League, their hopes of the title are now very reduced, they who are still 2nd in the ranking but relegated to 13 lengths of Liverpool. Hanging by Nottingham Forest, the Londoners will go to the Manchester United field on Sunday to try to revive. The PSV, for its part, therefore largely mortgaged its chances of being able to access the quarter -finals by living a real humiliation at home last week. Very quickly overwhelmed by the English assaults, the Bataves sank by collecting 7 goals 1-7 final score.

A delay probably too much to hope anything else during this return match. However, the players of Peter Bosz had displayed great promises during the previous round by dropping Juventus in 4-3 AP victory dams on the double confrontation. At the same time, in Eredivisie, the Eindhoven club was relegated to 8 lengths from Ajax in the title race. Defeated by Go Ahead Eagles 3-2, he will try to bounce back next weekend against Heerenveen.

A solid victory 1-3 in Belgium last week allows Aston Villa to take the lead in this double confrontation. The English club continues its serious C1 campaign after taking 8th place in the league phase, the last ensuring a direct qualification for the round of 16. Fitting well on the national scene is however more difficult for the villans, only 10th of the Premier League. During their last championship games, they dominated Chelsea 2-1 and took the water at Crystal Palace 4-1 before the first leg against Bruges. On Saturday, the club based in Birmingham moved to Brentford with the ambition to win positions in the Top 10. For the Bruges club, a reference return match is compulsory in England to raise the gap of 2 goals of the first leg.

The blue and black were defeated on their field by Aston Villa 1-3 after eliminating the Atalanta 2-1 and 1-3 victory roadblocks. Starting their final phase in dams was decided by their 24th final position in the league phase, from which they extracted in extremis. Before facing his rival of the Bruges circle on Sunday in the championship, the reigning Belgium champion is in very bad shape in this table. It remained on a defeat against the Liège 1-2 standard and a sharing of points with the Gantoise 1-1. The Bruges club is second in the ranking and distant by Genk in the title race.

By losing the first leg to Bernabéu 2-1, the Atlético de Madrid did not only miss the opportunity to start from the hostile lair with a favorable result, he also conceded his first defeat all competitions since 10 games. In this run, there is an incredible draw in Barcelona as part of the first round of the semi-final of the Copa del Rey 4-4, or a major success in home liga against Bilbao 1-0. To evoke the championship, Antoine Griezmann's partners are indeed in the process of the title and played in Getafe last Sunday in order to stay in the wake of Barça, or even, to go ahead in the event of false-pas of Catalans to follow. Real Madrid has concocted a very disappointing performance to go in front of its audience by mostly trotting while the goal was to win with a gap of at least two goals in order to travel the lighter heart in Wanda. The Merengue finally achieved only one full performance this season all competitions, it was the return dam against Man City materialized by a hat -trick by Kylian Mbappé , invisible last week.

However, and this is the great strength of this team, with crumbs, the Madrids have fun, and still remain today, the main candidates for the final success in this Champions League. In Liga, already four defeats for the men of Ancelotti, 3 more than last year, and the latest was written on the lawn of Bétis 2-1 , where there already, the alarm bell was drawn by the Italian technician. Last weekend, the RMA received Rayo Vallecano to keep the link with Atlético and Barça at the head of the table to follow.

Lille last week, Lille, rather well negotiated the first game of this double confrontation against Borussia Dortmund by going to get a good draw at the Iduna Park signal. After a delicate meeting start symbolized by the opening of Adeyemi's splendid score, the DOGUES gradually returned to the game and managed to equalize in the second period. Dogues may even have regrets not to have been able to press the defensive gaps of the BVB but they still find themselves in favorable ballotation before this return which is disputed at Decathlon Arena. During the league phase, the French had created surprise by taking 6th final place in the ranking thanks in particular to prestige successes obtained against Real Madrid 1-0 and Atlético Madrid 1-3. At the same time, in Ligue 1, Bruno Genesio's men are in the running to try to finish on the podium. If they were widely dominated by PSG 4-1 , the Northerners will try to resume their march in front next weekend against the Red Lantern, Montpellier. The Borussia Dortmund, for its part, had ideally launched its first leg by quickly opening the score through Adeyemi.

But he gradually lost the thread of the meeting, going so far as to concede the equalization and left a lot of opportunities in the LOSC to take the advantage. Finally happy to be able to keep the draw, the players of Niko Kovac will undoubtedly have to raise their level to hope to pass the Lille obstacle in this double confrontation and join the quarter -finals. The finalist of the last edition of this Champions League had to go through dams to join these 1/8th finals where they released Sporting thanks to their broad success obtained at the outburding 0-3 before the draw 0-0. In the league, the BVB is however quite far from the account. 10th in the ranking before challenging Augsburg next weekend, the boarders of the Iduna Park signal had still aligned 2 successes against the Berlin Union 6-0 and Sankt Pauli 0-2 to return to the race for Europe.
