the Champions League quarterfinals will be historic

The quarterfinals of Champions League will be historic. With the right to fast haaland against Bayern Munchenrematch between Real Madrid and Chelsea, in addition to a great Italian hope for the sequence of the Champions League, the month of April will be busy in European football. That’s because, for those who love good football mixed with emotion, they will probably have just the right mix of their sports entertainment pill.

All this excitement with the draw for the Champions League quarterfinals took place at 8:00 am (Brasília time), in Nyon, Switzerland, at the headquarters of Uefa. From the hands of Patrick Kluivert and Hamit Altıntop came one of the editions that promise to be the most exciting in the entire history of the Champions League and the numbers weigh in favor of this argument.

The main game of these quarterfinals will most likely be Manchester City and Bayern Munich. The confrontation will mark the meeting of Pep Guardiola with his former club and also with João Cancelo and Leroy Sané, who did not leave the Cityzens with a great relationship with the Catalan coach. In addition, the European derby will also give Haaland the opportunity to end an uncomfortable fast.

To give you an idea, at the time he played for Borussia Dortmund, the striker faced Bayern Munich on six occasions and, in all of them, without exception, he lost. That is, the expectation is that Haaland will be able to respond to this negative mark with a victory and classification in the Champions League. If in the collective he does not go well against the Bavarians, the individual is positive for the Norwegian, who has five balls in the net against the Germans.

Rematches and more rematches…

The Champions League quarterfinals will also be marked by rematches. The rivalry between Chelsea and Real Madrid will come back to the fore during the month of April. The Blues will have the opportunity to eliminate the current champions and take revenge on a rival that left them out of the last edition of the championship. With that, this confrontation also promises to be hot and with a different factor compared to last season…

This time, Chelsea will decide at home, and Real Madrid don’t have a great record in England, even if they beat Liverpool at Anfield Road, and the Blues themselves last season. In addition to this rematch, the Champions League will also have another important confrontation that can be marked by the feeling of revenge.

That’s because, Benfica will measure forces with Inter Milan, and the Encarnados have not beaten the Italians in the three times they have faced each other. There were two defeats and only one draw. Other than that, the Portuguese lost the opportunity to have another representative in the quarterfinals because of Porto’s defeat to Internazionale in the round of 16. So this is also going to be kind of an interesting rematch to watch.

The Italian hope…

Another confrontation that can be classified as the game of Italian hope is Napoli and Milan. The two will face each other and whoever passes can even dream of a place in the final of this edition of the Champions League. After years of accumulating failures, the Italians may even have a semifinal with only an Italian team and with the right to a possible Inter and Milan. Come on heart…
