RB Leipzig vs Atletico Madrid (10pm)

No German side outside of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League since Schalke in 2010-11.

The Bundesliga side have never made the knockout stage before and face an Atleti side who have twice reached the final in the last six years.

Leipzig do not have Timo Werner any more after he signed for Chelsea for £54m. The Germany forward scored 34 goals in all competitions as Nagelsmann's side finished third in the Bundesliga.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone told his side to forget the pre-lockdown win at Anfield that knocked out former champions Liverpool.

The winners of the quarter-final in Lisbon will face Paris St-Germain in the last four.

The stats
  • Atletico Madrid have always progressed against German opposition in the knockout stages of the Champions League (v Leverkusen in 2014-15 and 2016-17; v Bayern Munich in 2015-16).
  • None of RB Leipzig's 14 games in the Champions League have ended goalless. They have kept a clean sheet in three of their past five games, after failing to keep one in their previous nine.
  • Four of RB Leipzig's past eight goals in the Champions League have come from the penalty spot.
  • No German side other than Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League since Schalke in 2010-11.
  • Atletico Madrid will attempt to become the first team since Real Madrid in 2013-14 to both beat the Champions League holders and win the tournament in the same season.
  • Since the start of 2019, 12 of Atletico Madrid's 14 goals in the Champions League have been scored after half-time.
I am rooting for Leipzig, but an Atletico win is also welcomed

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich

Things so far

3 mins
GOAL - Barcelona 0-1 Bayern Munich
Thomas Muller
Not even a chance to write that previous entry.
Ivan Perisic glides down the left and finds Thomas Muller near the edge of the area.

The Germany midfielder plays a lovely one-two with Robert Lewandowski then applies a touch of slice to guide his shot past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Wow!

GOAL - Barcelona 1-1 Bayern Munich
David Alaba og
One of THE great ogs in Champions League quarter-finals.
What was the Bayern defence thinking - they are playing a very high line!

Anyway, they're caught out with a ball behind the line. Frankie de Jong tries to find Luis Suarez in the centre but instead finds the leg of David Alaba who launches an effort past his own keeper!!!
This must calm down!

21 mins
GOAL Barcelona 1-2 Bayern Munich
Ivan Perisic
Barca lose possession for the umpteenth time.

The ball finds the dazzling feet of Serge Gnabry who plays a lovely no look to Ivan Perisic on his left. The Croat smacks a low drive which takes a deflection off the boot of Clement Lenglet and keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen before finding the netting.


Bayern has scored all 3 goals. wonderful stuff

GOAL - Barcelona 1-3 Bayern Munich
Serge Gnabry
We're not allowed to swear here are we?
Barcelona's defence is shambolic - really, really incredibly woeful.

Bayern snatch possession again, the brilliant Serge Gnabry eases past Clement Lenglet and fires low past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
What we are witnessing is truly incredible.

are we going to witness Barcelona conceding 7 goals like they did last time they faced Bayern in the 2012-2013 semifinals?


GOAL - Barcelona 1-4 Bayern Munich
Thomas Muller
What a bit of poaching from Thomas Muller.

Joshua Kimmich does what he does best and delivers a peach of a low ball from the right to the near post which the German midfielder toes in.
Run out of adjectives.


wow. just wow.

even at Barcas best, they never tormented teams like they are being tormented.
or is Bayern, Barcas Boogie team?

Pre-match facts
  • This will be the third Champions League meeting between Manchester City and Lyon; no side have City faced on more occasions in the competition without a victory than Lyon (P2 W0 D1 L1).
  • Having failed to win any of their first six Champions League games against English sides (D3 L3), Lyon remain unbeaten in their last four against such opposition (W2 D2), including a win and a draw against Man City in last season's group stages.
  • Manchester City have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for a fourth time in the last five seasons (the only exception being 2016-17); however, they have only progressed from one of their previous three quarter-final appearances, knocking out PSG in 2015-16.
  • Lyon are the first French side to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League since Monaco in 2016-17, while this is their first appearance at this stage of the competition since 2009-10. The French side have progressed from just one of their four Champions League quarter-final ties - eliminating Bordeaux in 2009-10.

Lets Go Lyon.
we believe in you.
