Manchester City need to defend their 1-0 first-leg win against Atlético Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano, while Liverpool have Lisbon’s 2-0 in the quiver after tonight’s second leg against Benfica at Anfield.

Manchester City beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 at Etihad and tonight in the second leg “Wanda Metropolitan” (22:00, COSMOTE SPORT 2HD and LIVE at Sportish) leaves everything open. Pep Guardiola’s Citizens have the first word, but in none of the cases can you write off the Spanish champion Diego Simeone, who has proved many times that he has metal and character.

“We will go there to score and try to win again.” said Guardiola. His side have scored in 15 of their last 16 away games and are looking to do the same in Madrid.

Atletico, on the other hand, need to score if they want to be lucky and have to approach the rematch differently compared to the first leg. The Rochiblancos have not won in their last six home Champions League games, drawing four and losing two.

Simultaneously playing Liverpool v Benfica (10pm, COSMOTE SPORT 3HD and LIVE on Sportish) in Liverpool, the Lusitanians are chasing a miracle after losing 3-1 at home in the first leg. Jürgen Klopp’s Reds are the undisputed favourites, they have a better and more experienced team, but also a record that makes them think of Villarreal. Of course, data will treat today’s game with due care.

Jurgen Klopp is likely to make some changes regarding the match against Manchester City (2-2), with Benfica playing a role, knowing that it is very difficult. She will play without stress and try to be as competitive as possible to take as many chances as possible.
