Champions League Quarter-Finals Guide
Paris Saint-Germain’s Brazilian forward Neymar and Paris Saint-Germain’s French forward Kylian Mbappe celebrate with supporters outside the Parc des Princes stadium, in Paris, on March 11, 2020 after winning the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg football match between Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund.
Indeed, they had not won a knock-out tie in four years before eliminating Borussia Dortmund in the last 16 in March, just before the coronavirus pandemic forced football around the world to stop. This is their first ever Champions League campaign, but they have just finished third in Serie A for the second year running and scored a remarkable 98 goals in their 38 matches.
Atletico’s preparations for Lisbon hit a snag when two players, Angel Correa and Sime Vrsaljko, tested positive for COVID-19 over the weekend and were quarantined. However, no further cases were detected following another round of testing ahead of the team’s flight to Portugal. The Germans swept 2019 runners-up Tottenham aside in the previous round although coach Julian Nagelsmann must now find a way to replace the 34-goal void left behind by Werner.These are the only two former European champions left in the competition, with five titles each, making this the tie of the round.
In Robert Lewandowski they have Europe’s most fearsome striker — he has scored 53 goals this season, including 13 in the Champions League, more than anyone else.The Argentine is 33 now yet still the best player on the planet. But questions remain about the quality of those around him, and coach Quique Setien is under huge pressure after the Catalans lost out to Real Madrid for the Spanish title.
