Remontada de alarido y el PSG está en semis de Champions

Los cuartos de final de la Champions League no podían comenzar de mejor forma pues PSG y Atalanta dieron un gran espectáculo y el Paris avanzó a semifinales del torneo.

No fue sencillo, el Atalanta se fue al frente en el marcador en la primera mitad por conducto del croata Mario Pašalić en un buen remate cruzado tras una primera mitad que vio a Neymar desperdiciar la más clara del partido.

Los minutos pasaron y el PSG no encontraba cómo descifrar el cerrojo del Atalanta que también se olvidó de atacar el arco de Keylor Navas y en el pecado llevó la penitencia.

Cuando todo parecía liquidado y empezaba el tiempo de compensación, Atalanta se relajó en esos minutos finales y el PSG le dio la vuelta al marcador primero con gol de Marquinhos al 90 y tres minutos después Choupo-Moting quien ingresó de cambio marcó el 2-1 definitivo que coloca a los franceses en la semifinal del torneo.

El sueño parisino de Champions sigue vivo y para Atalanta culmina una temporada fantástica donde terminó siendo el tercer equipo más goleador de las ligas top de Europa, tercer sitio en la Serie A, entre los ocho mejores del continente y con una base que permite a los aficionados italianos seguir soñando con un mejor mañana.

En una jornada sorpresiva, Real Madrid y Juventus quedaron eliminados en la ronda de octavos de final de la Champions League.

Se jugaron los partidos de vuelta de los octavos cinco meses después tras la pausa de la pandemia y las cosas no le resultaron ni a los campeones de España ni a los de Italia que se despiden muy pronto del torneo.

Lyon y Manchester City avanzan a cuartos y se enfrentarán entre ellos en busca del pase a la semifinal.

Real Madrid, los osos de Varane

Mala noche par el central francés del Real Madrid, Raphael Varane que cometió dos errores muy graves que el Manchester City supo capitalizar para eliminar al 10 veces campeón de Champions League con goles de Sterling y Gabriel Jesus.

Karim Benzemá dio la cara por el Real Madrid en una buena anotación pero no fue suficiente y los merengues quedaron eliminados del torneo por lo que se esfuma el sueño del doblete.

Juventus, ni con la ayuda del VAR

La gran sorpresa de la noche la dio el Lyon que eliminó al Juventus gracias a la regla de gol de visitante en un partido que los de la Vechia Signora ganaron por marcador de 2-1 con doblete de Cristiano Ronaldo, uno de ellos en un discutido penal que se revisó y aún así se sancionó en una mano en el área muy dudosa.

Lyon consiguió el gol que le dio la ventaja y a la postre la clasificación muy temprano en el partido por conducto de Depay por la vía del penal y fue suficiente para eliminar al flamante campeón de Italia y avanzar de ronda de manera inesperada.

La Champions League regresa a la actividad tras un parón de casi cinco meses y muchas cosas sucedieron en este tiempo.

Algunos equipos terminaron sus torneos, hay nuevos campeones, indultos por parte del TAS y muchas cosas que han cambiado entre marzo cuando se disputaban los octavos de final y agosto cuando se reanuden los compromisos.

Así serán los compromisos de la Champions League

Manchester City vs Real Madrid. Ventaja de los citizens ante el campeón de España

El Manchester City y el Real Madrid se vuelven a ver las caras tras aquel duelo del 26 de febrero que los citizens ganaron 1-2 en el Santiago Bernabeú.

Muchas cosas han cambiado desde entonces, al Manchester City lo indultaron del castigo impuesto de dos años sin competiciones europeas y se clasificó a la siguiente edición de Champions.

Los merengues por su parte regresaron a la a actividad tras la pandemia para conseguir el título de España que antes de la pandemia estaba en manos del Barcelona, pero un gran regreso de los de Zinedine Zidane en la parte final de la temporada les dio una nueva liga al Real Madrid.

Se ve difícil que Real Madrid pueda darle la vuelta al marcador y clasificar a cuartos de final, pero todo puede pasar.

Cúando es: Viernes 7 de agosto 12:00 hrs tiempo del Pacífico, 14:00 hrs. Tiempo del centro.

Juventus vs Lyon, los campeones italianos a hacer valer la casa

El Juventus y el Lyon se vuelven a encontrar en una serie que tiene al Lyon con ventaja de 1-0.

Juventus recién terminó campeón de la Serie A, sin embargo perdió la Copa de Italia por lo que la Champions League es su única oportunidad de la temporada de alcanzar un doblete.

El Lyon tendrá que agruparse bien en zona defensiva y buscar un contragolpe a velocidad pues si su estrategia consiste en defender la ventaja mínima están liquidados frente al poderío ofensivo de Juventus, sin embargo un gol de visitante cambiaría todo el panorama para los franceses.

Cúando es: Viernes 7 de agosto 12:00 hrs tiempo del Pacífico, 14:00 hrs. Tiempo del centro

Barcelona vs Napoli, a sacar el orgullo blaugrana

Barcelona entró en una crisis al regreso de la pandemia que lo hizo perder la liga ante su máximo rival, una catástrofe culé pues la ventaja que tenían era suficiente para manearla con comodidad, pero una seguidilla de malos resultados los hizo perder el título.

La Champions League podría ser un gran bálsamo para los de Lionel Messi en caso de conseguirla, sin duda aliviaría un poco la tensión en Barcelona pero enfrente está el Napoli de Genaro Gattuso, que desde la vuelta del futbol ya puede presumir de un título, el de Copa que le ganó a Juventus.

La serie está igualada 1-1 y no hay nada para nadie, por lo que se esperan grandes emociones.

Cúando es: Sábado 8 de agosto 12:00 hrs tiempo del Pacífico, 14:00 hrs. Tiempo del centro

Bayern vs Chelsea, los de Munich a sellar la obra

Se ve difícil que el Chelsea pueda remontar una desventaja de 3-0 en Alemania, por lo que los campeones de la Bundesliga y la Copa de Alemania, son un serio contendiente europeo para conseguir el triplete de la campaña.

Por lo pronto el partido del sábado parece ser de trámite, el Bayer Munich podría ir haciendo maletas para los cuartos de final.

El Chelsea de Frank Lampard terminó cuarto en la Premier League lo que le permitió alcanzar milagrosamente un boleto a la Champions League 20-21 y mucho tendrán que replantearse el torneo pues sería una gran sorpresa que logren remontar el 3-0 en contra y de visitantes.

Cúando es: Sábado 8 de agosto 12:00 hrs tiempo del Pacífico, 14:00 hrs. Tiempo del centro.

El miércoles la UEFA anunció que la Champions League y la Europa League regresarían en agosto para terminar sus temporadas, con un formato ajustado de 8 partidos con eliminación inmediata.

Aunque este formato decepcionó a algunos fans que esperaban ver más acción, al menos Aleksander Ceferin, presidente de la UEFA, no descartó del todo algún tipo de apertura en los estadios para la afición.

Aunque definitivamente ahora les queda claro a los organizadores que los juegos deben realizarse a puertas cerradas, mantener la temporada de esto modo aún no es una decisión definitiva. Podría haber ajustes si la propagación de coronavirus se mantiene bajo control en Europa.

“Ahora creemos que no podemos tener público, pero las cosas están cambiando muy rápidamente. No hemos decidido todavía, analizaremos la situación a principios de julio y a mediados de julio decidiremos seguro. No sería competente decidir por adelantado en estos momentos”, declaró Ceferin.

Por lo pronto, Ceferin considera que regresar a los campeonatos en agosto ya es bastante avance, el hecho de que no descarte por completo que sea a puerta cerrada ya nos levanta el ánimo. Ya saben, la esperanza es lo último que muere.

Watch UEFA Champions League Live Online.

The final round of Champions League group stage matches is upon us. By the end of this week, we’ll know the 16 remaining teams left to battle it out for European club soccer’s biggest crown. Six of the eight groups still have at least one place in the Round of 16 yet to be decided. 

UEFA Champions League

Groups A and B are set in stone as far as this competition goes. PSG has won Group A with Real Madrid clinching the second spot. Bayern Munich takes the top spot in Group B with Tottenham Hotspur punching its ticket as well. 

Manchester City ran away with Group C, while Shakhtar Donetsk and Dinamo Zagreb still have a chance at runner-up status. Shakhtar has the inside edge as it plays last-place Atalanta, while Dinamo plays City. 

Group D winners Juventus will play a big role in deciding who gets the second spot. It plays Bayer Leverkusen, who is just one point behind Atletico Madrid. Diego Simeone’s side goes up against Lokomotiv Moskow. 

Reigning European champions Liverpool have secured Group E, while surprising Red Bull Salzburg will make Napoli sweat on the last day. The Italians have a two-point cushion coming into play, but still have some work to do when playing Genk. 

Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan are neck-and-neck in Group F on seven points. Unfortunately for Antonio Conte’s Inter, it must play group winners Barcelona, while Dortmund gets to play Slavia Praha for its place in the knockout rounds. 

Meanwhile, Groups G and H are both wide open with no team clinching a spot in the Round of 16 yet. It should be tense moments in both, as three different teams in each group have a chance to advance, while one will be sent to the Europa League.

Watch Real Madrid vs. Espanyol Live Online.

After a full week of preparation and training for all 20 teams, La Liga is back this weekend with a very important round of matches in the title race. The two leaders cannot drop any points as it gets closer to an important El Clásico. And for the all-time winners, this is a chance to show their strength and send a message to their biggest rivals.

Real Madrid vs. Espanyol

  • TV: beIN SPORTS
  • Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

Real Madrid arrives in this one in great form, unbeaten in eight matches and navigating a tough stretch of games brilliantly to stay neck and neck with Barcelona in first place. The two will meet at Camp Nou in less than two weeks and Los Blancos have two league matches until then to pick up six points, keep the unbeaten run going and play their biggest game of the season with all the confidence in the world.

This weekend’s game against relegation candidate Espanyol looks to be the perfect chance to win big at home and put pressure on Barça. After all, Espanyol is 19th in the table with just one win in its last seven and has one of the worst defenses in the league. The funny thing is Espanyol has been a Top 10 team on the road, so the team can’t be taken lightly. However, with Madrid having won four of the last five games against Espanyol and the urgency to keep up with Barcelona, there’s only one favorite to win this one.

Napoli bested Group E rivals Liverpool earlier in this Champions League campaign, but the chances of another win over the titleholders on Wednesday look slim after a rut in form. Liverpool has gone unbeaten in 13 matches since losing 2-0 in Naples in September—still its only defeat this season—while Carlo Ancelotti’s men haven’t won a game in more than a month.

The silver lining for Napoli is that it’s lost only once in 11 games. In fact, Ancelotti has led his team to only three defeats this term. However, it’s difficult to mask the notion it appears to have lost the will to win, drawing seven of its last 10 games (including the last three in a row).

Roberto Firmino struck near full time to give the Reds a 2-1 victory away to Crystal Palace on Saturday. The same day, Napoli led AC Milan for all of five minutes at the San Siro, before conceding to see out a 1-1 draw.

It just so happens Napoli’s last win in all competitions was a 3-2 Champions League result away to Red Bull Salzburg, providing some inspiration as to what the team is capable of. The Azzurri drew 0-0 at Genk in its previous away Champions League fixture, indicative of the inconsistency posed by this Napoli team.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have proved far more reliable. Liverpool has kept an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League and couldn’t be happier with its manager. Meanwhile, Ancelotti has been dogged by speculation over his future with Napoli currently seventh in Serie A.

An attacking drought, in particular, seems to have hampered Napoli of late. The team scored 15 goals in its first five games of the 2019-20 campaign, but there’s a sense of promise going unfulfilled after the team’s scored just 13 times in its 12 outings since then.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah was an unused substitute against Palace and should return to the starting lineup midweek, while centre-back Joel Matip looks likely to remain sidelined. Napoli left-backs Mario Rui and Faouzi Ghoulam each missed the draw against Milan, with the former in contention to return midweek. Striker Arkadiusz Milik was absent for that clash, but is also hoping to be featured in Ancelotti’s plans on Merseyside.

A win for either team at Anfield on Wednesday will guarantee a place in the last 16, but Napoli is in need of a result with third-place Salzburg not quite out of the qualification race just yet.

The penultimate round of matches in the Champions League brings us a mouthwatering rematch in Group F as Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund renew acquaintances at the Camp Nou. Both clubs are in a good spot to qualify for the knockout rounds, but Inter Milan is lurking. A win by either side would be a huge momentum shift in the group.

Barcelona is atop La Liga with 28 points alongside bitter rivals Real Madrid. The team also comes into this matchday first in its group. That still won’t quell the panic emitting from its supporters regarding the form and style of play of the club so far this season. A slow start out of the gate without Lionel Messi put pressure on Ernesto Valverde. Since returning to full fitness, the team’s results have improved, but the performances haven’t lived up to the lofty standards it has set for itself. The dominant and attractive style has not been there. Just scraping by opponents is not good enough for Barcelona and its fans. 

Dortmund has had its own struggles that have seen the team drop down to sixth in the Bundesliga. Reports coming out of Germany state that embattled manager Lucien Favre could be managing for his job in this clash with Barcelona. A loss could potentially be devastating on several fronts. Qualifying for the knockout rounds isn’t guaranteed with a big club like Inter Milan still able to catch up in the group. Failing to advance to the Round of 16 would be a catastrophic blow for a club that has a ton of talent and ambition.

Real Madrid is back in action looking to extend a five-game unbeaten streak, which shows Zinedine Zidane’s team may have finally found the consistency they so badly crave. The defense is a lot stronger than it was less than a month ago, the midfield is starting to look as dominant as it did during the Champions League three-peat, and the attack has slowly but surely come around with more and more players scoring goals and supporting top scorer Karim Benzema.

But to reach six games without a loss, the Madrid giants will try to find a way to beat Real Sociedad, which has probably been the most consistent team in La Liga this season and is fighting for a place in the Champions League next season. Sociedad loves to have the ball and attack, and Madrid loanee Martin Odegaard is one of the bright young stars in Spain so far this season. Sociedad will have no fear against the Real at the Bernabéu.

France, Germany, Portugal, Croatia, England and the Netherlands can each secure automatic qualification to Euro 2020 when the qualifying phase resumes on Matchday 9. Cristiano Ronaldo and the defending champions are still in danger of missing out on second in Group B, but a win over Lithuania on Thursday could be enough if Serbia fails to beat Luxembourg.

UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifiers

Current world champions and Euro 2016 runner-up France remains second in Group H. While level on points with Turkey, who leads via head-to-head, France will qualify as long as it beats Moldova at home. Didier Deschamps’ side can still be knocked out of the top-two running by third-place Iceland, who travel to Turkey on Thursday in need of a win if its to snatch an automatic spot.

Germany and the Netherlands are engaged in another close fight for the summit in Group C. De Oranje holds the head-to-head advantage over Germany with the pair level on points, while Northern Ireland holds a glimmer of hope to finish top two, currently three points behind in third.

Ronald Koeman takes the Netherlands to Windsor Park in Belfast on Saturday, while Germany hosts Belarus, each needing just one more point to cement their places in first and second, respectively.

England has suffered one loss in qualifying and need one point at home to Montenegro to guarantee a top-two finish, while a win would ensure they take the top spot. However, third-place Kosovo hopes a result away to the Czech Republic can cause one last shift in Group A.

Croatia plays its final match of the qualifying campaign at home to Slovakia on Saturday. One point would be enough to ensure the team finishes first in Group E. Gareth Bale’s Wales team is currently fourth in the pool and four points below second-place Hungary, who it has to beat at home if it’s to prolong an automatic qualification chance.

Spain has already wrapped up its Euro 2020 fate and looks set to finish first in Group F, but it’ll host bottom-dweller Malta on Friday in what promises to be a fairly one-sided fixture.
