What a delicious, sweet and spicy, Champions League plate we have been served this week! Will there be a sweet revenge tale when Liverpool faces Real Madrid and PSG entertains Bayern ? The repeats of previous Champions League finals are usually very exciting contests. Or will there be some burning tongues when the red hot Borussia Dortmund meets the Premier League leaders Manchester City ? After taking down (one of) the GOAT and his co. in Juventus, Porto looks ready for Chelsea. My pick for the “Match of the Week” is Paris taking on Bayern. The superstar, “oh My My Mbappe 😎”, taking on the defending champions is set be an enthralling affair.
Meanwhile, what a comeback by Dinamo Zagreb ! Totally caught Spurs and the legendary ( I truly believe he’s a Hall of Fame coach, if we had something like that for football) Jose Mourinho by surprise. Manchester United get the job done at San Siro to beat A.C. Milan and advance to meet Granada in the quarterfinals. Watch out for Ajax taking on Roma!
Turning our focus to the F.A. Cup quarterfinals, Man City beat Everton to advance to their fourth semi-final in last five years. Is a Manchester derby brewing in the F.A. Cup ? Let’s tune in next week to know !
Upset Alert : Nantes beat PSG 2 -1 in Ligue 1 to give Lille a 3 point lead at the top of the league table.
