Whatever happened in the second leg today was a super surprise in my opinion. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid both failed to maintain their lead and they both failed to win the match and both failed to qualify for the semi-finals. I really didn't expect all this to happen, this clearly does not match what was said the previous day.
Barcelona, who had to play with 10 players from the first half, was completely unable to stop PSG players' attacks throughout the match. PSG utilized this well and in the end PSG really made their dominance clear by coming back and turning things around to 4-6. Atletico Madrid also had to accept the bitter reality, the final aggregate of 5-4 which made Dortmund qualify for the semi-finals. This is ridiculous.
The main surprise is Barcelona, we knew how PSG do get eliminated always in the Champions League which Barcelona used to be one of the teams that eliminate them despite their first leg performance, but this season, they put on a surprising performance despite losing in the first leg, surely they did very well and they should be among the favorites to win the Champions League this season.
Dortmund on the other hand did a fantastic job today despite their poor result in the first leg. Truly, German fans are very active, they gave the team maximum support and Dortmund was able to defeat Atletico Madrid. Two Spain teams are gone, let’s see what tomorrow’s match will come with.
Can Real Madrid do it away from home?
That's how luck in football works and siding with the team that is not the favorite can turn things around, PSG and Dortmund are very, very lucky today. The red card that Araujo received made the match no longer balanced, PSG appeared to dominate thanks to their superior number of players. Meanwhile, the other La Liga representatives, namely Atletico, who played with a complete squad, were also defeated by Dortmund, even though the two La Liga representatives in the first leg both had a 1 goal advantage. Meanwhile, of course many people will be shocked by the results of the second leg of today quarter finals, and it seems that many bettors will also experience losses.
On the other hand, now Madrid is the only remaining La Liga representative. The second leg match against Man City is actually quite difficult to predict, because these two teams are the favorites to win this season. In terms of percentage, Man City chances are slightly higher because they will act as hosts, but Madrid will not be afraid of things like that. Meanwhile, Dortmund faced PSG again in the semifinals, after previously in the group stage they competed fiercely with each other to get out of group F, which we know as the Hell group this season.
