The most important tournament at the club level returns in a defining stretch, the Quarterfinals of the Champions League will be played this Tuesday and Wednesday with first leg matches that are expected to be extremely exciting and very tense.
Real Madrid vs Manchester City
The duel that draws the most attention, not only for appearing undefeated in the Champions League, but for the record that both have. On the one hand, the Madrid team has gone 13 games without losing and, at home, they have remained undefeated in 21 games; However, in front are the citizens who, as visitors, have accumulated 12 games without defeat and have played 25 games in which they are not defeated.
It seems that a new classic is about to be born, since in the last five seasons of the continental tournament, meringues and English have met four times in qualifying rounds, leaving a balance of two passes for each: the 2015-16 and 2021 semifinals. -22 were for Madrid, and the round of 16 of 2019-20 and the semifinals of 2022-23 were for the current monarch.
Date and time: April 9 | 1:00 p.m.
Place: Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Arsenal vs Bayern Munich
The Bavarians will test the good moment that Arsenal is experiencing, a team that after 14 years has returned to the top eight. However, the Gunners have positioned themselves as a serious team to beat, being leaders in the Premier League and registering only two losses in all of 2024.
On the other hand, Bayern Munich are in a difficult time as they are second in the Bundesliga (and very far from reaching the lead), eliminated from the German Cup and with a coach who will leave at the end of the season. However, the Germans are the ones who have eliminated Arsenal the most times with four times in the Round of 16.
Date and time: April 9 | 1:00 p.m.
Place: Emirates Stadium.
Atlético Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund
A key that seems to be more even because neither of the two squads is a clear favorite to beat their rival. Both arrive at a similar moment, since both Atlético and Dortmund are very far from fighting for the local title, with the Champions League being their main reason to be able to win something in the current campaign.
It will be the first time that they face each other in a qualifying round and, compared to previous editions where the colchoneros’ main virtue was their defense, this time they arrive as the second highest scoring team in the tournament, but with the challenge of deciphering the impenetrable wall of the Germans who only received five goals.
Date and time: April 10 | 1:00 p.m.
Place: Cívitas Metropolitano Stadium.
PSG vs Barcelona
A comfortable leader of Ligue 1 that has not fallen for five months, will receive some Catalans who are trying not to leave empty-handed this season and that their last chance to win something is the Champions League.
Despite being a somewhat devalued confrontation, taking into account those of previous years, PSG-Barcelona continues to promise a great show; Led by Kylian Mbappé, the French will try to repeat the dose of the last time they met in direct elimination, since in 2021, they knocked out the Blaugranas in the round of 16 by a 5-2 aggregate.
Date and time: April 10 | 1:00 p.m.
Place: Princes Park.
