Match Preview: Barcelona - Bayern

The highlight of the quarter finals, old rivals Barcelona and Bayern will go head to head. Lewandowski is on fire, Messi is on fire, so this should be exciting!




PREDICTED LINEUPS:
Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Alba; Busquets, Vidal, De Jong, Sergi Roberto; Messi, Suarez

Neuer; Kimmich, Boateng, Alba, Davies; Thiago, Goretzka; Gnabry, Müller, Perisic; Lewandowski 

OUR PREDICTION: 
Bayern are favourites, however we think it is 50-50. This one might go to penalties, both goalkeepers are fantastic and it is almost impossible to call the winner. We say 1:1, Barcelona win on penalties.

Match Preview: Manchester City - Lyon

Lyon have done a favor to City after eliminating Juventus, however only on paper. Lyon are strong defensively and good on the counter, which migjt cause Man City some problems.




PREDICTED LINEUPS:
Ederson; Walker, Laporte, Fernandinho, Mendy; Rodri, De Bruyne, Gündogan; Bernardo, Sterling, Jesus

Lopes; Denayer, Marcelo, Marcal; Cornet, Aouar, Bruno, Caqueret, Dubois; Depay, Ekambi

OUR PREDICTION: City win 3:0.

Match Preview: PSG - Atalanta

Atalanta are this seasons positive surprise, their attack has been brilliant and they can beat any team. They will be missing their star player, Josip Ilicic, who has been sidelined for unknown reasons, many media report depression. PSG will also be without their star Mbappe, so this basically evens out. Pasalic or Malinovsky will step in for Ilicic, and Sarabia will probably move further up front as Di Maria is suspended as well.




PREDICTED LINEUPS
Sportiello; Toloi, Caldara, Djimsiti; Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Gomez, Malinovsky; Zapata

Navas; Kehrer, T. Silva, Kimpembe, Bernat; Marquinhos, Gueye, Herrera; Sarabia, Neymar, Icardi

OUR PREDICTION:
Both teams know how to attack, we might see goals on both sides, but PSG should prove they have more quality and experience. We predict a tough 2:1 win for PSG.
