Champions League quarterfinals: bracket, schedule, times, dates
Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming Champions League quarterfinals.
The drama did not stop in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, with Sporting CP providing us with an early thrashing of the neutrals’ favourite Bodø/Glimt, waking them up from the Norwegian dream.
After that, we were treated to a trio of fascinating games; here are the results:
Manchester City 1-2 Real Madrid (1-5 agg.)
Chelsea 0-3 PSG (2-8 agg.)
Arsenal 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen (3-1 agg.)
On the following night, Barcelona swept Newcastle aside to progress, while Bayern, Atlético Madrid, and Liverpool all progressed.
With those games over, we now have a clearer picture of the Champions League bracket for the quarterfinals.
