Champions League

Manchester City have cruised through to the quarter-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League after a convincing 5-0 aggregate victory over Sporting CP.

He'll sit with the club and they'll make the best decision for the club and him." A great achievement for me and I thank my teammates," the midfielder concluded. The manager echoed his thoughts tonight, also telling BT Sport, "We see at the end of the season, he knows it.

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City do not fear drawing a Premier League side in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

They will be joined by four teams from United, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Lille, Juventus, Villarreal, Benfica and Ajax when the final last-16 ties are completed next week. It's an honour as important teams are out." "We are in the last eight and we'll prepare well and next Friday we'll see the draw.

Kylian Mbappe scored twice over both legs of Paris Saint-Germain's UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie with Real Madrid and it was still not enough to ...

Will the necessary changes be made to aid UCL success, though? Such is Mbappe's unique position in the game (and perhaps in the future of Real Madrid) that he was even afforded a pre-game ovation. The only solution is a deep cleanse. This latest European embarrassment spelled out that the Ligue 1 leaders are still well short of being ready to win the Champions League. Pochettino's time in charge has been an utter failure and Mbappe will recognize this more than most given that the Argentine has overseen the final 18 months of his stay in Paris and put paid to his hopes of winning the first Champions League title for the club. Unlikely. PSG's problems appear to be rooted away from the pitch where they boast arguably as complete a squad as any of their UCL rivals.

Karim Benzema and Real Madrid pulled off a stunning comeback against the French giants to advance to the quarter-finals.

He also had one goal called back for the same reason in the second half. It was the 27th Champions League goal for the 23-year-old France forward with PSG, leaving him three shy of Edinson Cavani’s club record in the competition. Madrid reached the last eight for the second straight season after consecutive eliminations in the round of 16. He surpassed Olivier Giroud, who was 34 years, 63 days when he hit a treble for Chelsea at Sevilla in 2020. More than 60,000 were on hand for the biggest crowd at the Bernabéu since the coronavirus pandemic started. His family was also at the Bernabéu.

It looked like he wanted the field to swallow him up. Lionel Messi reacts after Karim Benzema scored Real Madrid's third goal against PSG. Manu Fernandez/AP.

“We have to accept our mistakes and our inability to handle difficult situations. We lost and there are things to analyse.” “But we need time for that.” "But we lost the tie in 10 minutes.” Take away last season’s aberration when Lille was crowned champion, PSG is now coasting to an eighth title in nine seasons. It summed up PSG’s implosion that the winner came straight from the kickoff after Benzema scored his second.
