The quarter-finals of the Champions League 2023-2024, the first leg will take place in the early morning of April 10 and 11; the second leg will take place on April 17 and 18 (Vietnam time).

Manchester City face a tough test when they face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

Early "final"

The draw of luck brought the 8 strongest teams into the quarter-finals of the 2023-2024 Champions League, creating evenly matched matches, promising to bring top-notch battles, making it difficult to predict who will move on.

Real Madrid and Manchester City meet again, becoming the highlight of the quarter-finals. Real Madrid defeated Manchester City in the 2021-2022 semi-finals and then won the Champions League; in the 2022-2023 season, Manchester City defeated Real Madrid to reach the final and won the championship.

The reigning champions Manchester City are considered to be better than their opponents thanks to their squad of highly-performing players, their experienced coaches, and their ability to execute appropriate tactics. The team maintains a stable style, delivering beautiful and effective football.

With Real Madrid, the team with the most Champions League titles in history (14 times), still playing impressively and showing no signs of declining performance. The team's spirit is high, they won all the group stage and maintained stability in the squad, the changes in tactics and personnel are still effective. It is predicted that this match will be a score chase between the two clubs.

Fate

The next match between PSG and Barcelona is also quite fateful, both teams have their own determination. Seven years ago, Barcelona defeated PSG in the round of 16, but at the present time, the situation has changed a lot. Barcelona no longer has top European stars due to the financial crisis and unreasonable transfer plans that put the team in a difficult position. However, this is the first step in the journey to reassert the position of a giant that once dominated all over Europe.

PSG also learned a lot of lessons, made a strong personnel reform, and added a series of potential young players to the squad. Creating a squad that blends experience and youth. Coach Luis Enrique used to lead Barcelona, so he knows his opponents very well. PSG has a relative advantage in this clash, creating a great opportunity for them to hope to win the championship if they know how to take advantage of their strengths. Fans have reason to believe in an uncompromising match that is about to take place.

Youth vs experience

After 14 years, Arsenal returned to the Champions League quarter-finals and met familiar opponents Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich has more experience than their opponents, but that is a limitation because many of their key players are getting older. They will play at home without spectators due to the penalty of the European Football Federation (due to fans throwing fireworks onto the field), making this clash more unpredictable and tense.

Arsenal is currently at the top of the Premier League table with a beautiful attacking style and flexible tactical style. The team has changed greatly in terms of character, thinking, youthful energy, desire and solidarity. Arsenal has partly proven itself and now desires to become a real challenger. With Arsenal's strong rise, Bayern Munich is playing erratically and inconsistently, with an equal chance of advancing.

Equilibrium

The remaining quarter-final match is between Atletico Madrid and Dortmund. In the past, the two teams have met 6 times, Dortmund won 3 times, Atletico Madrid won 2 times and the two teams drew 1 time. The two teams considered the weakest in this round, not the top candidates for the championship, accidentally created a balance and promised surprises.

Although they may be unstable in the domestic league or have had ups and downs in recent times, it shows that it is not a coincidence that both teams have reached the quarter-finals. The strangeness and explosive ability always help Atletico Madrid or Dortmund maintain their position. At some points, they are no longer themselves, but when put in a position to assert themselves, they become very scary. A very balanced match between two teams of the same situation and class, Atletico Madrid is rated higher, especially for their bravery in important matches.
