Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona, Liverpool vs. PSG: Preview and predictions for the second legs of the Champions League quarterfinals

Ліга чемпіонів, анонс / UEFA

Today, April 14, the second legs of the Champions League quarterfinals will take place. Atlético Madrid will face Barcelona, and Liverpool will face PSG. “Pryamoy” offers predictions and previews for these games.

Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona (first leg – 2-0)

Atlético Madrid hasn’t yet been able to compete with Barcelona in the domestic league. The Catalans are first, while Atlético, also known as the “Mattress Makers” due to their striped shirts, is fourth, 22 points behind the leaders.

However, the situation in the Champions League is different. A week ago, in the first leg of the quarterfinals, Atlético Madrid, despite being the underdog, won 2-0 away against Barcelona, despite playing with a man advantage. Now, the Catalans will have a very hard time making up that handicap in Madrid. And although bookmakers favor Barcelona, it’s unlikely to be enough to advance to the semifinals.

Liverpool vs. PSG (first leg: 0-2)

A similar situation is in play in the other fixture: Liverpool will have to make up for the two goals they conceded in Paris at their home ground, Anfield.

The home stadium factor is certainly important for the English team, but it’s unlikely to be decisive against an opponent like PSG. Closing a two-goal deficit will be very difficult.

Bookmakers assess the teams’ chances as approximately equal, while at the same time expecting a high-scoring match.
