⚽ The highly anticipated Champions League quarterfinal matches are crowding the screens tonight, with both matches airing at 9pm.
The Parc des Princes stadium will light up to host the first leg between Anglo-French rivals Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain. The Parisians earned their place in the quarterfinals after a heated clash against Liverpool in the Round of 16 that ended with a penalty shootout, while Unai Emery’s Villains flaunted their prowess by eliminating Club Brugge 6-1 on aggregate.
Spain and Germany meet at Lluís Companys: Barcelona will be hosting Borussia Dortmund at their Olympic stadium for their first leg of the quarterfinals. The Blaugrana found their way to the quarterfinals through a 4-1 aggregate victory over Benfica, while the Yellow Locusts snatched the ticket from Lille with a 3-2 score.
Yesterday on the pitch: Arsenal managed a resounding 3-0 victory over Real Madrid at the Emirates Stadium, while Bayern Munich lost at home to Inter Milan with a score of 2-1. Arsenal and Real Madrid’s path to the finals will be determined by their match against either PSG or Aston Villa depending on the outcome, and the victors of the Barcelona vs. Dortmund and Bayern vs. Inter will meet on the pitch for a chance to headline the finals.
On our side of the world: Tanzania’s Simba SC and our homegrown Al Masry kicked off their second leg of their Confederation Cup quarterfinals at 3pm, with the current score at time of publication being 0-0. The first leg ended with a 2-0 victory for our Port Said champs.
Zamalek takes it home: The Cairo International Stadium will see Zamalek and South Africa’s Stellenbosch — making their continental debut — meet on the pitch tonight at 6pm, after a goalless first leg. The White Knights are hoping to retain the title for the second consecutive year after defeating Morocco’s Renaissance de Berkane last year.
Zamalek and Al Masry will shake hands in the semifinals if they qualify, a replay of their encounter during the group stage earlier in the tournament.
