On Wednesday, the first two Champions League quarterfinal matches took place, marked by dominant performances from the home teams. French Paris Saint-Germain, defending champions from last season, defeated English Liverpool 2:0 thanks to goals from Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. For Liverpool, this is another painful result that effectively ends their season without much resistance — they are thus not in contention for any trophy. Coach Arne Slot defended his tactical decisions, including bringing on forward Alexander Isak, a decision that proved unsuccessful. Slot also commented on the injury to his key player, which he described as very serious. PSG's players paid tribute to the memory of Diogo Jota before their return leg against Liverpool as a symbol of solidarity. sport.pravda.sk ↗
Atlético Madrid defeated the home Catalan side Barcelona 2:0 in the first quarterfinal leg. Barcelona played shorthanded and delivered a significantly weaker performance. During the match, Slovak defender Dávid Hancko suffered a serious injury and had to leave the pitch early in the 31st minute. SITA ↗
In the return leg, Barcelona attempted to overturn the two-goal deficit. Already in the 4th minute, the home side took the lead when Lamine Yamal ran in behind the visitors' defense and routinely beat the goalkeeper. Barcelona finished the match with ten men after one of their players was sent off, significantly diminishing their chances of a miracle comeback. Atlético Madrid ultimately advanced to the Champions League semifinals with a final aggregate score of 1:2. After being eliminated from the Champions League, Barcelona player Raphinha sharply criticized the referees and repeatedly stated that his team was better than Atlético. The Brazilian forward spoke of theft and described the refereeing decisions as unjustified. Raphinha specifically criticized the referees for, in his view, being "afraid" and described the match as "robbed." Barcelona filed a formal complaint with UEFA regarding the referees and an unpunished handball by Atlético Madrid in the first leg. However, European football's governing body rejected this complaint just a few hours before the return leg. sport.sk ↗
The first Champions League semifinalists are thus Atlético Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. In the remaining quarterfinal matches, return legs against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are still to come. Real Madrid has excellent news ahead of their quarterfinal return leg in Munich — French player Kylian Mbappé will be available in Real's lineup and has been included in the 23-man squad. Bayern Munich are looking forward to the return of winger Serge Gnabry to the squad, who has overcome knee problems and should be ready to start. Experienced German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is preparing for a potential farewell duel against Real Madrid. teraz.sk ↗
