PSG, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Atletico Light Up UEFA Champions Knockout Phase

The Madrid derby will feature the electrifying duo of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jnr for Real Madrid. They are two of the game’s most dreaded attackers. Atletico also have the former Manchester City forward, Julian Alvarez, who has been scoring for fun this season. Atletico will seek to avenge at least one of their 2014 and 2016 losses to Real in the Champions League final, but they will be facing Carlo Ancelotti, whose five wins in the tournament make him the most successful UEFA Champions League manager.

On Wednesday, PSG will host Premier League leaders, Liverpool in another firecracker match-up. The match is live at 9 pm on Super Sports Premier League GOtv channel 65.   Liverpool finished at the top of the table in the new format of the Champions League and have been in impressive form throughout the season, losing only one crucial match. The head coach of Liverpool, Arne Slot, previously led his former club Feyenoord to the 2022 Europa Conference League final, where they were defeated by AS Roma from Italy.

This time, he has a more accomplished team with Mohammed Salah in imperious form and a controlled style of play that saw Liverpool beat Real Madrid 2-0 at the league phase. He faces Luiz Enrique, who famously won the Champions League with Barcelona and is in charge of what is thought to be a more balanced team with Ousmanou Dembele as the star turn. It was, however, a struggle for them to qualify for the current phase, as they qualified via the play-off route, beating fellow Ligue Un side, Brest, 10-0 on aggregate in the playoffs.

Also, on Wednesday, Bayern Munich, starring Harry Kane, will face last season’s Bundesliga champions, Bayer Leverkusen in an all-German affair that kicks off at 9 pm and will be aired live on SuperSport Football GOtv channel 61.

Both teams take their contest for the Bundesliga title to the Champions League. Bayern, who lead the Bundesliga ahead of Leverkusen, are one of the most successful outfits in the history of the tournament.
