The main football club tournament of the Old World is entering its final stage. The eight best clubs in Europe have been determined, which will compete for the European Champions Cup in the 2014-2015 season.
The first quarterfinal matches of the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League will take place on April 14th and 15th. The first to enter the fight are the Madrid clubs "Atletico" and "Real", as well as Turin "Juventus" and the eponymous football club from French Monaco.
It is difficult to single out any favorite in the confrontation between the two Madrid teams. It is worth noting that Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid met in the final in the last Champions League. Then the victory in overtime was won by the “creamy” ones (4 - 1). The first meeting will take place at the Atlético stadium.
In the pair “Juventus” - “Monaco”, many consider the Italians to be the favorites, but do not forget that the French knocked out the strong London “Arsenal” from the tournament. Football players from the principality can once again surprise you. The first meeting will take place in Italy.
On April 15th, PSG - Barcelona and Porto - Bayern Munich will play. It is difficult to single out a favorite in the French-Spanish confrontation. Suffice it to recall that the Parisians have already played two matches with the Catalans in the group stage of the tournament. The hosts won in both games.
Bayern Munich are considered one of the main favorites of the Champions League 2015. Therefore, most experts believe that for Portuguese Porto, the tournament will end at the quarter-final stage. The first meeting of the teams will take place in Portugal.
It is worth noting that the return games will take place on April 21st and 22nd.
