Champions League

March 10 – PSG and the fabled Messi-Neymar-Mbappe trio are out of the Champions League after Karim Benzema masterminded a dramatic 3-1 victory for Real ...

The result will leave PSG devastated. This is the worst that could happen to us. I don’t understand why the referee didn’t call VAR. From this action, everything changed in the stadium, our players were upset, even if we must recognize that we made mistakes.

Manchester City have cruised through to the quarter-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League after a convincing 5-0 aggregate victory over Sporting CP.

He'll sit with the club and they'll make the best decision for the club and him." A great achievement for me and I thank my teammates," the midfielder concluded. The manager echoed his thoughts tonight, also telling BT Sport, "We see at the end of the season, he knows it.

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City do not fear drawing a Premier League side in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

They will be joined by four teams from United, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Lille, Juventus, Villarreal, Benfica and Ajax when the final last-16 ties are completed next week. It's an honour as important teams are out." "We are in the last eight and we'll prepare well and next Friday we'll see the draw.

Kylian Mbappe scored twice over both legs of Paris Saint-Germain's UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie with Real Madrid and it was still not enough to ...

Will the necessary changes be made to aid UCL success, though? Such is Mbappe's unique position in the game (and perhaps in the future of Real Madrid) that he was even afforded a pre-game ovation. The only solution is a deep cleanse. This latest European embarrassment spelled out that the Ligue 1 leaders are still well short of being ready to win the Champions League. Pochettino's time in charge has been an utter failure and Mbappe will recognize this more than most given that the Argentine has overseen the final 18 months of his stay in Paris and put paid to his hopes of winning the first Champions League title for the club. Unlikely. PSG's problems appear to be rooted away from the pitch where they boast arguably as complete a squad as any of their UCL rivals.

We break down how the UEFA Champions League knockout bracket is shaping up for the final eight teams.

This team was a runner-up in the Europa League has season and has the defensive chops to create some chaos in the quarterfinal round. Manchester City went up 5-0 on aggregate in the first leg and was able to play the second leg out with no fuss. Munich won all six of their games in the group stage, finishing on top of Group E with 18 points and a tournament-best +19 goal differential. With a massive 8-2 aggregate score, Bayern Munich moves onto the quarterfinals and will await their opponent in the draw. The 2019 UEFA Champions League winners have qualified for the quarterfinals again, making it the second year in a row they’ve reached this stage. Several teams have already moved on to the quarterfinals, sending their Round of 16 opponents home in the process.

The draws for the quarterfinals and semifinals of the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League will be made at 11 a.m. GMT / 7 a.m. ET on Friday, March 18.

For the quarterfinals and semifinals, teams from the same city cannot be not scheduled to play at home on the same day or on consecutive days, due to logistics and crowd control. To avoid such a scheduling conflict, if two teams from one city are drawn to play at home for the same leg, the order of legs of the tie involving the team with the lower domestic ranking in the qualifying season is reversed from the original draw. After the quarterfinal draw, a separate draw is held for the semifinals (and there is then a third draw to decide who would be considered the "home" team for the final).
