Champions League: Clash of Clans in Paris – Real to qualifying result in Lisbon City
The Champions League returns with a big derby in Paris for the “16” of the tournament between Paris and Real, while City is tested with Sporting in Lisbon.
It was over two months before Europe’s premier inter-club competition returned. After 68 days of waiting, the Champions League anthem will sound again and the time will come when we can again enjoy watching the world’s top players compete for the ‘Holy Grail’ hoisted by Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea last year.
Tonight at 10pm, Paris Saint-Germain hosts Real Madrid at the Parc des Princes. (COSMOTE SPORT 2 HD and LIVE from Sportish), with the rematch taking place on March 9 at the Bernabeu. The hosts heard from the coaching staff after Nis were eliminated from the cup, they win the league, but they are struggling and Mauricio Pochettino knows that the situation is rather marginal for him.
Paris will of course rely on the “holy trinity” of Messi, Ebape and Neymar, expecting a great game from the first and expecting from the second how it will react against… its future team, always according to the multitude of reports that it has have his own desire to move to Madrid was also written. The Brazilian, on the other hand, is ready to fight tonight and his coach is counting on him a lot.
The Madrilenians will not face Sergio Ramos as he is on the injured player list in Paris. We remind you that he has counted 671 appearances with Real Madrid shirt. Angel Di Maria, who scored in doubles when the teams met in Paris in the group stage of the 2019/20 season, but Kaylor Navas will also play against their former team. Ancelotti is awaiting the availability of Karim Benzema, who is returning from injury.
Guardiola’s City is a favorite in Lisbon
In the evening’s other game, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola meet Sporting in Lisbon (COSMOTE SPORT 3 HD and LIVE from Sportish). The English champions have a bad memory of Portugal as they were beaten by Porto against Chelsea in the final.
Of course, a different city, different conditions and, in any case, the English have the first reason for the win, but in the face of the “Lions” they will do everything to make things difficult for the Catalan coach’s team. Guardiola, who hasn’t won the Champions League since 2011, wants above all to achieve a major honor in the institution this year and remove the controversy of many.
Sporting is based on the tricks and inspirations of its 37-year-old coach Ruben Amorim. Only once, in the 2008/09 season, did the team reach the round of 16 when they lost to Bayern 12-1 on aggregate (0-5 in Lisbon, 7-1 in Munich) and don’t want to be a teammate in either matches. City, for their part, have progressed through the group stage for the ninth consecutive season, reaching at least the quarter-finals in the last four.
The visitors traveled to the Portuguese capital without Jack Grillis, who has not recovered from a shin sprain except for Gabriel Jesούςs due to a muscle problem, while Kyle Walker is not counted as UEFA handed him a three-point penalty against André Silva with Leipzig.
