February comes with a great deal of matches regarding european football. Four english teams have reached the quarterfinals stage of the UEFA Champions League. All of them with good chances to achieve the next round.
Let’s take a look to the fixtures of this quarterfinals matches, first leg of it:
Sporting vs Manchester City: The Guardiola squad should pass, not as easily as expected, but they must prevail, because they have a better squad overall.
PSG vs Real Madrid: This is perhaps the most expected clash of this round. The parisian team have three of the top ten best players in the world, but some of them come from injuries and they have not played together to much time on the pitch really. Real Madrid should have a little advantage if Benzema is fully recovered from these previous weeks injuries, otherwise they will lack of the best piece for their attack.
Salzburg vs Bayern Munich: The german squad is the favorite for this round. They should not have problems to pass to next stage.
Inter vs Liverpool: The reds have a better outlook compared to last year. They have their main pieces on the attack healthy, and that is a plus in these stages of this competition. Inter is a good squad, but the “Reds” must get to the next stage based on the squad comparison.
Villarreal vs. Juventus: The moment of truth is here for Juventus. Surviving these stages without a killer like Cristiano Ronaldo is a real test for the italian squad. They are the favorite because overall they have more experience.
Chelsea vs. Lille: The current champions of this competition are not in their best shape. But the blue squad should not suffer against Lille. Tuchel knows how to handle this kind of clashes.
Atlético Madrid vs. Manchester United: The red and white squad has been present in the final stages of this competition in the last years. But now they face a really bad situation in their domestic league. They are outside the champions league zone in the Spanish La Liga Standings, and Simeone has been questioned as no other year during his stay at front of the colchoneros. On the other side, The Red Devils are in a transition year trying to rebuild their structure, their squad and their plans for the future, but a good result in the present season should accelerate that rebuilding phase.
