Champions League
With Mudrik but without Messi. Half of the participants of the Champions League 1/4 final announced
On March 7 and 8, four matches of the Champions League 1/8 final took place.
The first quarter finalists of the prestigious European tournament: Chelsea, PSG, Milan and Benfica.
Londoners unexpectedly passed Borussia Dortmund. In the first match, the Blues lost 0-1, but at Stamford Bridge they managed to get a significant win – 2-0. Ukrainian winger “retired” Mykhailo Mudryk did not play in the second match.
Portuguese “Benfica” did not leave a single chance to “Club Brugge”. The Eagles defeated the Belgian club 7-1 on aggregate. Ukrainian forward “Brugge” Roman Yaremchuk was only shown a yellow card with 62 minutes left in the second match.
PSG has once again been deprived of the Champions League trophy. In 10 years, the Parisians have left the tournament four times in the quarterfinals, once from the semi-finals and finals, and 5 times from the 1/8 finals. This year, France’s tough club, along with stars Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, lost to Bayern with a total score of 0:3.
Tottenham have been eliminated from the tournament once again and will once again end the season without a trophy (unless they win the Premier League sensationally, of course). Losing their first match against Milan in Italy in the 1/8 final of the 2022/23 Champions League, Spurs couldn’t show anything at home and went to the world game with Rossoneri.
The next matches of the 1/8 final of the competition will be played on 14 and 15 March, respectively. On the first match day, Porto will face Inter and Manchester City and RB Leipzig, on the second day Real Madrid will face Liverpool and Napoli will face Eintracht.

Former coach of Dynamo Kiev Alexander Showkovsky He should have been sacked in August after a poor performance in the Champions League qualifiers.
The blue-whites, who lost twice to Cypriot Paphos in the 3rd round of the European Cup (0:1 and 0:2), were relegated to the Europa League and then promoted to the Conference League.
“I know that Dinamo management believes that a change of coach could and should be made in the summer, after they lost to Paphos in the Champions League qualifiers.
Then an opportunity arose. But the necessary candidate was not available,” the source said.
Due to the lack of alternatives, the president of the Kiev club decided to leave Shovkovsky as head coach, but in November the Ukrainian specialist was nevertheless fired and left Dynamo.

We continue to examine the future of Donetsk shakhtar To buy tickets directly to the main stage Champions League 2026/27.
This will be possible if the place reserved for the team that wins the Champions League trophy is redistributed.
All important moments of the match are available in LIVE mode Telegram Sport.ua
Donetsk Miner They are in fourth place with a coefficient of 50.250 among the clubs competing for a possible position at the heart of the Champions League.
In the last European week, the Donetsk club added +2.625 points. This increase was achieved with a 0-0 draw with Croatian Rijeka in the 6th round of the Conference League and a sixth place in the main round final table.
Main rival Greek Olympiacos – 56,500 points remaining. The Miners can regain the 6,250-point lead if they perform well in the spring part of the European Cups.
It is interesting that Shakhtar lost the first place in the UPL (Cherkasy has the same number of points as LNZ – 35 points each), and Olympiacos lost the lead in Greece to the AEK team (36 points against 37). Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk plays for the team of the city of Piraeus.
Positions rangers (59,250), 4th in Scotland and Copenhagen (53.375), placed 5th in Denmark, looks less competitive in the rankings due to its position in the national championships. Leader only in championships Dinamo Zagreb And RB Salzburg (44,000 each) but there is no certainty that the turn will come.
Let us remind you that if the cup holder buys a ticket to the Champions League through the national championship, there will be a vacancy in the main squad in the 2026/27 Champions League. In this case, a balance will arise again and if Shakhtar wins the UPL and is ahead of Olympiacos in the UEFA club rankings (or the Greek club does not become the champion of Greece), it can get a direct ticket to the base of the Champions League.
If the Piraeus team is higher in the rankings and takes advantage of the available space, the Donetsk club will start from the 4th quarter of the Champions League, not the 2nd quarter, in case they win in the UPL.
