Barcelona VS PSG
It’s very much advantage Barcelona heading into the first of four big Second Leg ties! Barcelona are coming into this game off the back of a 1-0 win at Cadiz and they currently sit second in LaLiga. When it comes to PSG, they enter this game off the back of that 3-2 loss against Barcelona in the First Leg and they are currently leading Ligue 1. In their previous 11 meetings, Barcelona have won 5 games compared to Paris Saint Germain’s 3. Overall, given FC Barcelona’s First Leg result, this is their tie to lose!
My Prediction: 2-2 (Barcelona Win 5-4 on Aggregate)
Borussia Dortmund VS Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid only need a draw in Dortmund to advance to the Semi-Finals of this year’s UEFA Champions League. Borussia Dortmund are coming into this game off the back of a 2-1 win at Borussia Monchengladbach and they currently sit 5th in the Bundesliga. When it comes to Atletico Madrid, they enter this game off the back of a 3-1 win over Girona and they are currently 4th in LaLiga. In their previous 3 meetings, Dortmund have won once compared to two wins for Atletico. It’s worth mentioning that the home team has won in 3 of those games. Overall, this is a really tough game to call, and I can very much see extra time and penalties coming into play!
My Prediction: 2-1 (Dortmund Win on Penalties)
Bayern Munich VS Arsenal
Bayern Munich host Arsenal in a huge Second Leg for both sides! Bayern Munich are coming into this game off the back of a 2-0 win over Koln and they are currently second in the Bundesliga. When it comes to Arsenal, they enter this game off the back of a disappointing 2-0 loss against Aston Villa and they currently sit second in the Premier League. In their previous 9 meetings, Bayern have won 5 games compared to Arsenal’s 2. Overall, both Bayern Munich and Arsenal are coming into this game seething, and they both know they cannot afford to lose this game.
My Prediction: 1-2 (Arsenal Win 4-3 on Aggregate)
Manchester City VS Real Madrid
And in the best game of the Quarter-Final stage, Champions Manchester City host Real Madrid in a tie between two European Heavyweights! Manchester City are coming into this game off the back of a 5-1 win over Luton and they are currently top of the Premier League. When it comes to Real Madrid, they enter this game off the back of a 1-0 win in Mallorca and they currently sit top of LaLiga. In their previous 11 meetings, City have won 4 games whilst Madrid have won 3. Overall, neither of these teams lose Football games very often, but something’s going to have to give here!
