The second round of the Champions League continued, with Bayern beating Lazio 3-0 and Paris beating Real Madrid 2-1. In the end, the game was reversed with a score of 3-1, Paris won the opponent with a score of 4-1, and the two teams entered the quarterfinals together, judging from the results of the first round of matches and the overall strength of both sides, the positions of the quarterfinals have been determined, and it is only a matter of time before Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan are the three most promising to enter the quarterfinals.
The second round of the Champions League eighths will be a big one, with Bayern Munich playing in Lazio. Bayern Munich are on the verge of collapse in all competitions this season, failing to win the German Cup and the German Super Cup, and being left out of Bayer Leverkusen by ten places in the German competition, it is almost impossible for them to defend their title, so they can only focus on the European Champions Cup.
However, in the first round of 16-16, they were cornered by Lazio and they needed to win the game at their home stadium so that they could turn around.
In the end, thanks to goals from Kane and Muller, Bayern Munich beat Lazio 3-0, making it their fifth team to reach the quarter-finals, and they have won their last eight games, in the group stage.
The Paris Germain vs Real Madrid match was also played at the same time. In the first round, Paris won 2-0 away from home, and in the next round, they only needed a draw to enter the next round, and finally defeated Real Madrid 2-1 with two goals from Mbappe and entered the last eight with a score of 4-1.
According to the stats, since the Qatari giants took over the Paris club in the 2011 12 season, they have reached the Champions League for the seventh time in eight, a figure of three more than all French clubs combined, and the first to have two wins in the Champions League.
In the remaining six rounds, Real Madrid 1-0 away 1-0, Manchester City 3-1, Inter Milan 1-0, all three teams are considered to be able to enter the quarterfinals together, Real Madrid is the 14th champion of the Champions League, Manchester City is the defending champion, Inter Milan is the runner-up of the last edition, the three teams are in hot form, and other teams can hardly be stopped.
However, the two giants of Arsenal and Barcelona face uncertain challenges. Arsenal lost 1-0 to Porto in the first leg on the road, who have won two Champions League titles and are currently ahead of Benfica in the Portuguese Super League standings. Despite Arsenal's recent run of seven consecutive Premier League wins, it will be a daunting task to complete a comeback against such an opponent. Barcelona's opponents were last season's Serie A champions Napoli, who drew 1-1 in the first leg. However, Barcelona's recent form has not been satisfactory, and they may suffer a counterattack from their opponents when playing at home, and thus regret to be out of the competition. The challenges and uncertainties faced by these two giants have undoubtedly added a bit of suspense and excitement to the football world.
Another example is Dort, who lost 1-1 in the first round, which gave PSV Eindhoven a chance to turn the tables, while the Eredivisie has won three games in a row and has a winning record of all games, giving them a good chance of reaching the last eight.
In any case, halfway through the quarterfinals of the Champions League, many strong teams are likely to be kicked out of the quarterfinals, such as Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Dort, Leipzig, plus Real Sociedad, a total of six teams have been eliminated.
