This next April 13 and 14 the return of the Champions League. Each of the heats has a team with a partial advantage, so several of them have a difficult task to overcome the score. Chelsea Y Paris Saint Germain they will play at home and have the advantage on the scoreboard, Real Madrid Y Manchester City they will defend their advantage as visitors. Porto, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund y Liverpool they are the ones who have the obligation to propose more in the round to advance to the next round.
Paris Saint Germain will receive the Bayern Munich at the Parc Des Princes. The French have taken the first leg 3-2 with a doublet of Kylian Mbappe and a goal from Marquinhos. That was a game where Bayern was more dominant by having possession of the ball and shooting more times on goal, but the forcefulness was what gave the advantage to PSG, in addition to having security at the goal with Keylor Navas.
As for the protagonists of the game, both clubs will arrive with several possible absences. Bayern will not have Süle, Douglas Costa, Tolisso Gnabry and the great absentee, Lewandoski, Besides that Coman, Goretzka, Boateng and Lucas Hernández are in doubt. By the PSG, Icardi It is a sure absence, but also Verratti, Florenzi, Diallo, Kurzawa y Marquinhos they are doubtful for the encounter.
To advance to the next round, at Bayern It would be enough for him to win by difference of two goals to win the tie. In case of scoring four, he would surpass the three away goals of the PSG and it would be enough for him to tie in the aggregate. PSG You can afford to lose 1-0 or 2-1 and still advance, if you lose 3-2, overtime would be forced.
The other meeting on April 13 will be between Chelsea Y Porto at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, with the Chelsea as a local. The English had the advantage 2-0 in a fairly even duel in which the Portuguese never lowered their arms but could not score. The scorers were the English Mason Mount Y Ben Chilwell, although the defense of the club also influenced to withstand the attacks of Porto.
Both clubs arrive with a full draw to face the match, Porto he recovers his referents in attack and may be more dangerous than he was in the first leg and they hope to be more forceful. Chelsea has in doubt Thiago Silva already Andreas Christensen, although both are part of the call.
In both cadres there is confidence of being able to advance, despite the fact that Porto has a more complicated task. The Portuguese need a victory by two goals if they want to advance, a 2-0 would force overtime, if they score more than 3 and get the difference of two goals, they will advance. Chelsea he can afford to lose as long as the difference is just one goal.
On April 14 the other two games will be played.

Both clubs arrive with a practically complete picture, Dortmund will be the one who shows up with a few more casualties. The Germans will not have Zagadou, Moukoko y Sancho. On the part of the English Laporte and Agüero are in doubt.
Al Dortmund It would be enough for him to win 1-0 to advance to the semifinals. Should the Germans concede a goal against, they would necessarily have to win by two goals to advance in the tie. The City can advance with a tie, in case they score two or more goals, they can lose the match by one goal difference and still advance.
Liverpool will receive the Real Madrid and Anfield. Real Madrid has the advantage 3-1 after a great performance and double of Vinícius Júnior and another goal from Marco Asensio, Mohamed Salah discounted by the Liverpool. Real Madrid He was the dominator of the match and reflected it on the scoreboard, Liverpool for his part he was unstable, especially in defense. Liverpool faces perhaps the most difficult obstacle to advance to the semifinals.
Liverpool the first leg will have the same absences, Van Dijk, Joe Gomez y Henderson they will not be able to participate in the meeting, Origi is doubt. In the Madrid the absences of Early Y Sergio Ramos, in addition to them it is added Lucas Vazquez. Hazard, Carvajal and Valverde are in doubt.
In order to Liverpool it would be enough to win 2-0 to advance, in case Real Madrid I managed to score, Liverpool he would have to win by a difference of three goals to advance. Real Madrid You can afford to lose without scoring 1-0, if they manage to score, they can lose by any score as long as the difference is not three goals.
