⚽ Bayern faces a daunting task: Bayern Munich has a challenging night in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals tonight when it plays against Manchester City, after losing 3-0 at Etihad Stadium in the first leg. Bayern now needs to clinch a victory by a four-goal margin to make it to the semi-finals — which head coach Thomas Tuchel said would be a “miracle.” Tuchel knows what his team is up against, after several matches with Manchester City, while Pep Guardiola also knows what Bayern is capable of, after he coached the team for a few years. Kickoff is at 9pm.

Inter faces Benfica to seal its (more promising) fate: After beating the Portuguese team 2-0, Inter Milan plays against Benfica at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium to double down on its lead and move ahead to the semi-finals for the first time since the 2009/2010 season. Meanwhile, Benfica — which is at the top of the Portuguese league — is going through a bit of a rough patch, despite getting off to a roaring start that brought it to the quarter-finals without suffering a single defeat and losing only one match throughout the entire season. The past two weeks, however, saw the team lose two matches in a row in the Portuguese league, in addition to its defeat against Inter Milan on home turf.

Whoever comes out on top between Bayern and City will play against Real Madrid, which qualified to the semi-finals last night after beating Chelsea 2-0 — the same score it secured in the first leg of the quarter-finals.

And the victor of the Inter-Benfica match will play against Milan, which tied against Napoli last night 1-1, but came out on top in the first leg.

Meanwhile in the Egyptian Premier League (all matches at 9:15pm):

  • Pharco v Ghazl El Mahalla
  • National Bank v Haras El Hodood
  • Tala’ea El Gaish v Future
