Paris SG shuts down Bayern
sport">Defending champion Bayern Munich was eliminated in the Champions League on Tuesday-evening. The German team was unable to completely eliminate the home defeat in the return against Paris Saint-Germain. The second game ended in 0-1 and that was just too little after the 2-3 in Germany to advance to the last four. Only Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (ex-PSG) scored.
sport">Just like last week in Munich, both teams made it an exciting match. Paris SG, with defender Mitchel Bakker as a substitute in the 59th minute, did themselves short with the small defeat. The home team missed most and the best opportunities. Neymar in particular was careless, but also unfortunate in the finish. As a result, Bayern could continue to hope for the liberating second goal until the end, which, however, also did not want to fall in the final offensive.
Chelsea hold their own against Porto
sport">Chelsea is also in the semifinals of the billion dollar ball. The London club of the German trainer Thomas Tuchel lost the second game of the quarterfinals against Porto (0-1) in the home match in Seville, but could afford that.
sport">Earlier, Chelsea had already won the away game with 0-2. That game was also played in Seville, due to all the restrictive measures surrounding the corona pandemic.

Liverpool is going for new wonder from Anfield
sport">The magic of Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool seems to have disappeared. Especially since the team misses many rearguard players, including Virgil van Dijk, the results are no longer to write home about. Last week, the game was also dramatic for the English players who sometimes played weak. Partly due to two goals from Vinicius Junior, Real Madrid won 3-1 and so the Spaniards have a nice margin before the start of their visit.

sport">Moreover, Zinedine Zidane’s team added extra confidence this weekend by winning 2-1 against Barcelona in El Clasico. Especially before half time it looked good what Real showed. Liverpool also recorded a 2-1 home win over the weekend and while the opponent, Aston Villa, appealed a lot less to the imagination, it must have been good. The Reds won a home game in the Premier League for the first time since December 16. Whether that is enough confidence to achieve a miracle like two years ago in the semi-final against Barcelona (4-0, after a 3-0 defeat in Spain) remains to be seen.
“Liverpool little more to lose”
sport">Klopp thinks that Liverpool in the return against Real Madrid on Wednesday at Anfield is capable of a miracle. “That is the advantage if you lose 3-1 in the first match,” said the German. “Then it seems that you have been eliminated and that you have little more to lose. But we are only halfway. If we believe it is possible, we have a chance. ”
sport">Liverpool will have to do without the support of the fanatical home crowd against Real Madrid. “That is an extra problem in addition to the away defeat,” acknowledged Klopp. “Our fans can create the right atmosphere at Anfield and scare the opponent. We will now have to take care of that all by ourselves. We will now have to generate the right energy ourselves. ”
“Real Madrid players exhausted”
sport">According to Zidane, the players of Real Madrid are near exhaustion after the hard efforts of the last months. Still, they are not supposed to sit back in Liverpool to defend the 3-1 lead. “We come to win.”
sport">After the victory in Madrid against Liverpool, Real also won the classic against Barcelona in-house. That was the sixth victory in a row, in ‘all competitions’. Zidane: “We went to great lengths to get to where we are now. On the other hand, we are used to that too. Anyone who wants to win prizes must give everything. I’m sure the players will do the same here at Anfield. ”
Is Haaland at Dortmund?
sport">The form of Borussia Dortmund has been shooting in all directions for months. Unexpected (and sometimes hefty) defeats alternate with simple or clever wins. Last week there was a kind of mix of those facets. With one of the top favorites Manchester City, it only lost in the final phase, after Dortmund also had the necessary reason to complain about the arbitration. It will nevertheless give the citizens of Dortmund some courage.

sport">The man who will be most looked at by the Germans is Erling Braut Haaland. But the sensation of the past eighteen months seems to be in a dip for a while. He was unable to score during the three international matches in Norway, including one against Gibraltar, and since his return to Dortmund after the international matches, he has already been dry for three matches. The last time he put down such a scoreless series of six matches was in 2018, when he still played at Molde FK.
Guardiola now wants to go to semi-finals with Manchester City
sport">Under the leadership of coach Pep Guardiola, Manchester City has never reached the last four in the Champions League. In the previous three seasons, the Spanish trainer with his English team always stranded in the quarter-finals. This year it must finally happen. In Germany, City is defending a 2-1 lead.
sport">Guardiola acknowledged a day before the return that it was a fragile margin. 1-0 is enough for Borussia to continue. “I don’t want my players to think about that,” said Guardiola. “If you are constantly concerned with the stand and the consequences, then you forget what you really have to do. We want to make it clear to Borussia right away that we did not come to Germany to defend. We want to make a profit with dominant football. ”
