PSG script a late drama to reach their first semi-final since 1994-95 campaign. Atlanta held the game 1-0 till the 89th minute but Marquinhos and Eric Choupo-Moting’s late goals have finally made PSG believe that ‘everything is possible’ and they can win the Champions league
Tyler Adam’s late goal fires Leipzig into UCL semi-final.RB Leipzig snatched a late 2-1 victory against Atletico Madrid.After Olmo’s early stunning header Joao Felix’s penalty bought Atletico Madrid back on track but late deflected goal from Adams secured the spot in semis for the German side.
The biggest upset of this season. Last year it was Ajax, this year it is RB Leipzig breaking all the odds. Atletico were clear favourites after knocking out Liverpool but Leipzig without Timo Werner stunned the three-time champions league runners-up. Thanks to a late winner from their American recruit Adam Tyler. The German club have reached their maiden Champions league semi final and will face PSG on 19th August.
Incredible milestone for a club that was founded just about a decade ago!
Having lost Timo Werner, one of their best players, to Chelsea yet they make it to the semi-finals. What a team!

Barcelona vs Bayern tonight - Here is a match we all want to watch
Two of the titans of world soccer face tonight - a match fit to be the European final! It’s a game that features superstar players, global brands, and each of the club winning Champions League title 5 times so far.
However, Barcelona have stumbled of late, losing La Liga to Real Madrid after winning just 5 out of their last 9 games. I think this time they come in as underdogs.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have won 19 games in a row, taken the Bundesliga and German Cup and enter this one as the favorite.
Bayern’s 8-2 victory against Barcelona was the highest-scoring knockout game in the UEFA Champions League era but it fell just short of being the match with the most goals in the competition’s history.
That honour goes to their domestic rivals Borussia Dortmund, who overcame Legia Warszawa 8-4 in a group game in November 2016. Monaco’s famous 8-3 triumph against Deportivo in 2003 takes second place with Bayern’s bonanza in Lisbon sitting third.

The greatest humiliation for Barcelona is Coutinho scoring 2 goals and assisted Lewandowski in one and knocked Barcelona out of the UCL. What a revenge!!
Bayern didn’t even need two legs,they destroyed Barca in just one match.
Manchester City take on Lyon in the Champions League quarter-finals. After City beat Real Madrid and Olympique Lyonnais knocked out Juventus, both teams will have one eye on a a semi-final spot. Guardiola’s side are favourites, but Lyon have quality.
