The Champions League is approaching a crucial stage as the last eight teams vying for glory are almost set to be confirmed.
A showdown at Wembley on June 1st is what awaits the teams left in the competition and the quarter finals are set to be dramatic as a number of leading clubs have already qualified.
Standout Performances – Teams to Watch
So far this campaign, Manchester City, the defending champions, have been the team to watch with a number of impressive displays in the group stages and in their last 16 tie against Copenhagen.
Arsenal have also been impressive in the group stages but will they be in the last eight as they play Porto in their last 16 game.
Is this the year that PSG finally go all the way? The French side, armed with the brilliant Kylian Mbappe, looked superb against Real Sociedad in the last 16 and that’ll give them confidence they can go even further.
Bayern Munich suffered a shock defeat in their first leg against Lazio but they were outstanding in the return tie as they ran out 3-0 winners.
Key Matchups in the Quarter-Finals
With the draw set to take place on March 15, a number of interesting ties could take place when the names are drawn.
Arsenal and Manchester City are currently competing with Liverpool for the English Premier League and those two being drawn against each other could have huge implications at home and abroad.
Barcelona and Napoli will be hoping to make the last eight and if the former goes through, they could face a showdown with their major rivals, Real Madrid.
With a number of quality teams still left, no one is guaranteed an easy draw at this stage of the tournament.
Team Analyses – Strengths and Strategies
Manchester City are undoubtedly the favourites to retain their crown and they’ll be relying on the brilliance of Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland. If those two continue to click, then City will be a hard team to stop.
What about Bayern Munich and Harry Kane? With the Bundesliga title slipping away, could Thomas Tuchel focus on this competition and go all out for it?
Arsenal have had a great season and Declan Rice has been a vital part of their run to this stage of the competition. Can he help his new club to their first ever Champions League trophy?
