No one expected Manchester City to be even with PSG at 2-2 when the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match kicked off but here we are.

Wild Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League

0 comments by on 4/6/2016

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 […]

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 […]
