Matchday Review - April 10th, 2024
Champions League - Quarter-finals (1st Legs)
Paris Saint Germain 2 vs. 3 Barcelona
Raphinha scored in the 32nd minute to give Barcelona the lead. Dembele equalised for PSG in the 48th minute and Vitinha gave PSG the lead in the 50th minute. Raphinha was on form though and he equalised for Barcelona in the 62nd minute. Christensen scored the winner for the away team 77th minute. Another cracking UCL game but this time one of the teams actually as an advantage going into the second leg. Barcelona are a goal clear as they head to the Camp Nou and PSG have work to do.
Atletico Madrid 2 vs. 1 Borussia Dortmund
De Paul scored in the fourth minute to give Atletico the lead and Lino doubled the lead in the 32nd minute. Dortmund scored in the 81st minute via Haller and they now have a goal to take back to Germany for the second leg. Atletico have the advantage but with Dortmund at home anything can happen.
Matchday Preview - April 11th, 2024
Europa League - Quarter-finals (1st Legs)
Liverpool vs. Atalanta
Benfica vs. Marseille
AC Milan vs. AS Roma
Bayer Leverkusen vs. West Ham
The Europa League fixtures are actually quite interesting this season. Liverpool, Benfica, and Bayer Leverkusen will be favourites in their fixtures while Milan against Roma will be a close game. Atalanta, Marseille, and West Ham are decent opposition though and could cause a few surprises if their opposition are not on it.
Europa Conference League - Quarter-finals (1st Legs)
Viktoria Plzeň vs. Fiorentina
Olympiacos vs. Fenerbahce
Club Brugge vs. PAOK
Aston Villa vs. Lille
The same cannot be said for the Europa Conference League fixtures because the quality really starts to diminish. Fiorentina are the favourites in their fixture while Olympiacos against Fenerbahce is evenly matched. Brugge are slight favourites over PAOK while Villa against Lille is probably the most interesting tie of the round.
