Who from today’s four teams will advance to the semifinals?
The dice are thrown, the Champions League quarterfinals are underway, and tonight the return matches begin. Barcelona holds a healthy lead thanks to their first match in Paris, where they won 3:2 against PSG. On the other hand, Atlético Madrid leads with a margin, having defended their home position against Dortmund 2:1. Today, the home fields change, and we’re set for matches at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys and Signal Iduna Park.
Anyone who watched the match in Paris might have a hint that Barcelona could be one of the 4 teams appearing in the Champions League semifinals. Not only are they currently on a streak of 13 unbeaten matches, but they are undoubtedly playing the best football of the season so far. Although we thought that one of the world’s best footballers, Kylian Mbappé, would score at his home ground, it did not happen. Perhaps he is already pondering his stint at Real Madrid and his heart is leaving PSG, only God knows. However, today could still change everything and lift his current team to the Champions League semifinals, fulfilling the dreams of all French fans.
Nevertheless, PSG is showing overall greater performance in the Champions League than Barcelona. We’ll see how it all turns out tonight. Find the best odds for tonight’s Champions League match HERE.
“When Barcelona won their first Champions League title in 1992, it was at the legendary Wembley Stadium, where they defeated Sampdoria 1:0.”
Atlético is in form after last week’s Champions League. Besides a one-goal lead over Dortmund, they also have a clean 3:1 win against Girona from Saturday. Their confidence will definitely not be lacking in today’s match, yet Dortmund is on their home turf and managed to win in the Bundesliga against Mönchengladbach 2:1 on Saturday.
BVB has not advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals since the 2012/2013 season. Today’s match will be crucial for both teams. Most odds suggest a victory for Dortmund at their home ground, yet Atlético is one of the most unpredictable teams this season, which makes them a wild card in many matches.
