Real Madrid: When the "king" is injured

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals took place early this morning (2am April 16) without any surprises: PSG and Barca have booked their tickets to the semi-finals.

The second leg of the quarter-final at Villa Park was dramatic from start to finish. PSG started impressively and took a 2-0 lead in less than 30 minutes. However, Aston Villa still refused to give up. Marcus Rashford and his teammates rose strongly and scored 3 goals in a row between the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half.

Aston Villa's efforts were unsuccessful. They lost 4-5 after 2 matches. Coach Luis Enrique and his team struggled to reach the semi-finals to meet Arsenal or Real Madrid.

In the same match, Barca lost to host Dortmund 3-1, but still got a ticket to the semi-finals because Barca won the first leg 4-0.

Early morning (2am on April 17), the remaining quarter-final matches will continue. Real Madrid will meet Arsenal and Inter will welcome Bayern Munich. Currently, coach Carlo Ancelotti's team is having to fight with great rival Barca in La Liga to compete for the championship and the Spanish King's Cup. Arsenal, on the other hand, is more relaxed after having to stop at the FA Cup and the English League Cup and also has no hope of competing for the Premier League championship when everything seems to be settled: The championship is in the hands of Liverpool.

Real Madrid had to work very hard to defeat the 17th ranked team in La Liga, Alaves, in a match where main striker Mbappe received a red card in the first half. The exhausted royal team now has to compete with Arsenal, who have a big advantage in their hands (winning the first leg 3-0). The possibility of Real Madrid making a comeback is very slim.

In the rematch against Arsenal, Real Madrid will not be able to use midfielder Camavinga because this player received a red card in the first leg. Many times, the defending champion has been in a difficult position to overcome and then go straight to the throne. Real Madrid has many times made big opponents like Bayern, Chelsea or Man City feel regretful, in battles that seemed like they were doomed to defeat. Let's wait and see the rematch between Real and Arsenal.

The other match that is considered attractive is the rematch between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich. History is also on Bayern Munich's side, who have won all four away games against Inter Milan, three of which were in the Champions League and all without conceding a goal. This is perhaps a small hope to help the Gray Tigers cling to their dream of going further.

The two matches in the early morning of April 17 are expected to be full of goals. Both Bayern and Real are currently injured. Will the compressed power be able to overturn the opponent?
