⚽ The Champions League quarterfinals are picking back up tonight at 9pm with two more second-leg matches.

Santiago Bernabéu Stadium will see Arsenal and Madrid go head to head once again — the Gunners secured a resounding 3-0 victory over the home team in the first leg. If luck favors them again, Arsenal may be in the running to hoist the Champions League cup for the first time in the club’s history. Los Blancos have experienced an unusually rough season of what is usually their favorite tournament, cutting it closer to elimination than victory more often this time than not. To qualify for the upcoming round, Madrid will need a clean four goal victory.

Bayern Munich will be treading the San Siro pitch tonight in a match against home team Inter Milan, who are armed with a close victory of 2-1 during the first leg thanks to a late goal by Davide Frattesi. Bayern will no doubt fight to make up the difference, but Inter has the home advantage up their sleeve.

The results of yesterday’s match: Both Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain narrowly clinched their places in the semifinals in what can only be described as a comeback after both had previously lost to their rivals Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa in the first leg matches. PSG will be facing the victor from the match between Real Madrid and Arsenal, while Barcelona waits to meet the team that comes out on top between Inter and Bayern Munich.

In the English Premier League: Newcastle and Crystal Palace will finally be going head to head tonight at 8:30pm in a postponed match from Round 29 of the tournament, which will mark the end of the current Round 32.

On the home front: The final round of the Egypt Capital Cup group stage will see two Group A matches at 4pm later today between Zamalek and Smouha, and El Gouna and Modern Sport. Group D will also see some action, with Ismaily and Al Ittihad, and Haras El Hodoud and Pyramids facing off at 7pm.
