Champion League Teams' Brouhaha Continue Today

Today, Real Madrid welcome Bayern will be hoping to finish the job at home after securing a 2- 1 win at Munich. A Cristiano Ronaldo double, including his 99th and 100th European goals, ensured the Champions League holders take two away goals into the return fixture at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bayern Munich are hopeful Robert Lewandowski will be fit for the return leg after missed the first leg with a shoulder injury, along with Saturday's 0-0 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, as they look to overturn a 2 - 1 first-leg defeat in Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid. Bayern's Coach Carlos Ancelotti go back to Santiago Bernabeu for the first since 2015 after winning La Decima for the Madrid.

Leicester City are still very much in the race to make history for themselves at the prospect of reaching the Champions League semi-finals. Leicester lost at the Vicente Calderon last week through Antoine Griezmann's goal after referee Jonas Eriksson awarded a controversial penalty after fouled on him by Marc Albrighton outside of the area.

The Foxes will be hoping to overturn a 1 - 0 deficit as they welcome Atletico Madrid in Tuesday's quarter-final second leg just - exactly eight years ago that they won Sky Bet League One when Leicester defeated Southend 2 - 0 with Matty Fryatt scoring two goals.



Wednesday

Barcelona will host Juventus on Wednesday looking to overturn a 3-0 deficit to reach the Champions League semi-finals, Paolo Dybala scored twice in Turin. Barca will do all to repeat the magnificent comeback they achieved against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in round of 16 with 4 - 0 deficit overturned and progress on 6 - 5 aggregate. 

Borussia Dortmund go to France with high hope to achieve a result that will secure their semi-finals. Dortmund was overshodowed by Monaco winning 3 - 2 away to Dortmund with brace from Kylian Mbappe (the hottest young striker in Europe as at now) and as well the bombed that rocked the Dortmund bus and injured one player in the process.

Monaco only had two shots on goal in the fixturesortmund but went home with 3 points, though in the league they are different team; they are highest scoring team in Ligue 1 with 90 goals in 32 games
