England and Spain are on a collision course

In the middle of this week, European turf will be vibrant again with matches in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. The lucky draw brought two English and Spanish football together: Chelsea great war Real MadridMan City vs Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid’s battle against Chelsea is the focus of the Champions League quarter-finals

Remember last season, Chelsea overcame Real Madrid with a total score of 3-1 in the semi-finals on the way to winning the Champions League for the second time in history. Therefore, this rematch is a better opportunity for “Los Blancos” to reclaim the debt borrowed from the opponent.

Real Madrid also prepared quite well for this important match with a 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo in La Liga. In contrast, Chelsea had to receive a 1-4 defeat to Brentford at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League over the weekend. “The Blues” are played at home in the first leg and coach Thomas Tuchel’s teachers and students will definitely be determined to take advantage before marching to Spain.

In an equally remarkable match, Man City welcomed another representative of the Spanish capital, Atletico Madrid. Coach Pep Guardiola’s army is still looking for the first time in history to win the Champions League. Last season, “The Citizens” reached the final but lost to Chelsea. Therefore, the Etihad Stadium team really wants to improve their performance.

Man City vs Atletico Madrid

However, Atletico Madrid is not an “easy” opponent in the most prestigious arena of the old continent at club level. The evidence is that coach Diego Simeone’s teachers and students eliminated another representative of England, MU in the 1/8 round. However, Man City is still the team that is rated at the top and is still playing at home in the first leg. Not surprised if “The Citiznes” won even with the score difference to create an advantage for themselves.

Meanwhile, the lucky draw brought two championship candidates Liverpool and Bayern Munich to meet only two easy opponents, Benfica and Villarreal respectively. In the first leg, “The Kop” marched to Portugal, while “Gray Lobster” also had to be a guest in Spain.

But even when they have to be guests, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are still rated higher than their two rivals. If played properly, the two giants of European football can even decide the ticket to the semi-finals in the first leg. Especially with Liverpool when coach Jurgen Klopp’s teachers and students are still competing fiercely with Man City for the Premier League title.
