Here are the knockout phases of the UEFA Champions League, and there are several other blockbuster nodes.
Barcelona The current leaders of the competition, overcome Lyon in the finals last season, and they are undoubtedly once again among the favorites. All three English clubs, Chelsea,, Arsenal and Manchester CityThey reached the quarterfinals, with two set up in the next round.
Both of the best German clubs, Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg, have progressed, while the eighth winners Lyon also spent through the group stage and will be determined to win its first title since 2022.
90min It predicts the outcome of the quarterfinals and who will progress in the last four …
The first cow will see Women’s Super League Giants Arsenal takes over Real Madrid. The best race of the Spanish club in the competition arrived in 2022 when they reached the quarterfinals, while Arsenal abolished the 2007 trophy and were semi -finalists recently as a 2022/23 campaign.
After the bad start of the season under Jonas Eidevalla, Gunners have been in strong form since Renee Slegers took responsibility in October. They surpassed their group in Champions League and they also turned their homemade campaign.
Real Madrid remains second in the League F behind Barcelona, but have proven their quality in the group stage with narrow defeats of Chelsea. This will be a closely disputed tie, but over two legs, the arsenal should have enough for progress.
The intended winner of a tie: Arsenal
Further, eight -time winners Lyon will face Bayern Munich in the last eight. After falling to Barcelona in last year’s finals in Bilbau, Lyon returned with a point to prove.
The status of a French club as the best team in women’s football has been challenging in recent years with a quick rise of Barcelona, but they will be determined to regain their crown. Bayern’s best ending in the competition was the semi -finals in 2020/21. However, they failed to cross the quarterfinals in two of the last three seasons, and they failed from the last term in the group.
Frauen-Bundesliga’s title is extremely tight, with Eintracht Frankfurt only three points behind Bayern, forcing them to balance their priorities. Lyon, meanwhile, remains undefeated in the women’s division 1 and has a more comfortable lead, allowing them to fully focus on the Champions League, which should be enough to see them.
The intended winner of the tie: Lyon
The draw could not be much harder for Wolfsburg because they are preparing to deal with Barcelona, which has won three of the last four UEFA Champions League titles. The German side of Barcelona in the finals of 2023 was closely overwhelmed by 3-2, a defeat that would still be fresh in the heads of their players.
It cannot be denying that Wolfsburg underdogs are in this tie, but they accept that status with open hands. The pressure is firmly on Barcelona, because most expect it to progress.
As said, Barcelona did not look like invincible this season, suffering defeat by Manchester City in the group stage and loss once in the F. League, which offers Wolfsburg light hope, but over two legs, the Spanish side should have enough over the line.
P insequently winner of a tie: Barcelona
The most watery of the mouth is between the English Giants Chelsea and Manchester City. For Chelsea, this season feels like the perfect opportunity to go to Europe and compensates for its last defeat of 2021 in Barcelona.
Under the new manager Sonia Bompastor, who has experience with a win in this competition with Lyon, the London club looks like a different force this season. They were significantly strengthened, adding Lucy bronze in the summer and Keira Walsh in January, and both abolished the trophy with Barcelona 2023 and 2024. The arrival of Naomi Girma, probably the best defender in the world, also gives them an extra advantage as they enter the last stages of the competition.
City, on the other hand, has never progressed outside the quarterfinals, and their fall in the WSL title suggests that they fight to compete on all fronts. In March, these two parties will face four times in multiple competitions, adding an additional layer of intrigue to this area.
This unpredictable dynamics makes this one of the most difficult quarterfinals to be called, but if you had to support one team, Chelsea’s greater experience in Europe only gives them an advantage.
