Barcelona vs Bayern Munich the standout UCL quarter-final clash, with semi-final stage set to kick off later next week
The UEFA Champions League carries on, with only two games remaining from the quarter-finals. PSG and RB Leipzig have both confirmed their spots in the semi-finals, having beaten Atalanta and Atletico Madrid respectively. The remaining two spots are up for grabs, with the standout fixture being Friday's showdown between Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
This clash of the titans, live on CBS All Access and Univision in the USA, will see two of Europe's biggest clubs battle it out. However, unlike previous years, the odds heavily favor one side going through and it is the German giants. The reasons are obvious: the Bavarians have been unstoppable both domestically and in Europe, boasting an 18-match winning streak and a 27-game unbeaten run. In Lewandowski, they've got one of the deadliest strikers in world football. He is the leading scorer in the UCL this season with 13 strikes and narrowly missed out on the European Golden Boot after netting a whopping 34 times in the Bundesliga.
As Bayern perfectly said it on Twitter, this is a clash between two of the biggest teams in world football
Barcelona, on the other hand, have been below par. This is particularly true since the return of football as the Blaugrana threw away the league title to Real Madrid. Messi inspired the club to a victory against Napoli with a 3-1 Camp Nou win in the 2nd leg but even then, the Catalan giants were far from impressive. All hopes ride on the shoulders of Leo. Will he be able to produce another moment of magic? Tune in to find out.
Barcelona vs Bayern Munich is not the only quarter-final tie to make our list. Elsewhere, Man City and Lyon will battle it out for a spot in the semis. Guardiola's men look to build on their victory over Real Madrid in a bid to end their wait for European success while their French opposition look to upset another heavyweight, having eliminated Juventus to get here. On Tuesday, August 18, the last-four kicks off with RB Leipzig vs PSG. The following day will see the second semi-final take place ahead of the August 23 final.
All eyes on Sevilla vs Man United as the battle to make the UEFA Europa League final kicks off
The UEFA Champions League is not the only European competition to enter a crucial stage over the next six days as the Europa League semi-finals also kick off this weekend. Sevilla vs Man United will get things underway on Sunday, with the respected Spanish outfit taking on the English heavyweights in the most intriguing game of this stage.
The Red Devils, despite their impressive form in 2020, were made to work hard in the quarter-finals by Copenhagen. The Danish club took the Premier League outfit all the way to extra-time before a 95th-minute Bruno Fernandes penalty sent the opposition packing. As for Los Hispalenses, they got here by breaking the hearts of Wolves, beating the English side 1-0. The last time Sevilla locked horns with the Red Devils, they won 2-1 at Old Trafford to knock Man United out of the Champions League. Will we witness a repeat? Don't miss this tie.
Man Utd's form as of late has been impeccable
As for the other semi-final tie, Inter Milan will face off against Shakhtar. The Nerazzurri dumped Bayer Leverkusen out of the tournament and will attempt to reach the final in what has been an impressive debut season for Antonio Conte.
