It was always going to be tough for Wolfsburg to go to Madrid and hold on to their 2-0 lead with Real Madrid. Especially since Real have been a completely different team at home then they have been away from the friendly confines of the Bernabau. With Madrid down 2-0 they would have to come […]

Want drama? The Champions League has it in spades for the next couple of days. Can Real Madrid overturn a 2-0 deficit at home against Wolfsburg? Which club will emerge from a 2-2 deadlock between Paris Saint-German and Manchester City? Can Barcelona and Bayern Munich cash in on slender one-goal advantages against Atletico Madrid and […]

Real Madrid’s 2-0 loss to Wolfsburg in the first round of the Champions League quarterfinals was the shock result of the round. Everybody expected it to be an easy win for Zidane’s boys. There were plenty of factors that went into the loss. The grueling match against Barcelona didn’t ensure that Real Madrid were going […]

Tuesday might have been business as usual in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals with both favorites picking up wins, but Wednesday was anything but. The craziness started in Paris where Paris Saint Germain defender David Luiz picked up a yellow card a mere 15 seconds into the match for a rash challenge that some will […]

Well it’s safe to say no one saw this coming. Right from the start PSG were dominating their Champions League quarterfinal tie with Manchester City right up until some shaky defending allowed Kevin de Bruyne to give City the lead against the run of play. Not to be outdone, some even more shaky defending play […]

Kevin de Bruyne may have shocked everyone when he gave Manchester City a 1-0 lead over PSG. The goal came completely against the run of play and no one really thought that lead would hold up for long. In fact it didn’t, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic equalized a mere seconds later. The game would go into […]

If everything went the favorite’s way on Tuesday well then Wednesday seems to be the day of the underdog. No one was giving Manchester City in their first leg match against PSG in Paris, but perhaps that’s exactly where they wanted to be. Kevin de Bruyne returned from injury for Manchester City last weekend and […]

At the end of the day, Tuesday’s Champions League matches pretty much went exactly as we all expected. Both of the favorites progressed with advantages heading into the second leg next week and we’d be forgiven for thinking that more of the same would occur on Wednesday. Especially when it came to the Real Madrid […]

Manchester City were given a big boost this week when Joe Hart returned to training and then back into the team for their Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain. With City’s defensive issues this season, and playing against a team with the attacking talent of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Angel di Maria, and Edison Cavani, City […]

Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid Fernando Torres might have given Atletico Madrid a valuable away goal to take back for the second leg, but it was his red card and Luis Suarez’s subsequent brace that will be the story in Barcelona’s 2-1 victory over their La Liga rivals in their 1st leg Champions League quarterfinal matchup.

It’s been a game that has suited Atletico far more than Barcelona, as neither side has been able to play with much rhythm. It’s little surprise then that the visitors from the Spanish capital were the ones to open the scoring. Almost symbolically it was Fernando Torres, Atleti’s favorite son, who put the ball into […]

Over the past few weeks, much discussion has been made about retooling the UEFA Champions League. From talks about a “Super League” or creating two round robin groups in the round of 16 whereas the top teams in each group meet in the Final. The idea is to make European competition more appealing to a […]

At this point it’s safe to assume that Leicester City are going to make the UEFA Champions League next season. They need to pick up just eight points over their last seven games to get it done. Considering they’ve been the most consistent team in the league all year, qualification for the Champions League is […]
