Hello and welcome to the business end of the campaign — it's time for our UEFA Champions League quarterfinal predictions 2022.
According to the latest odds, Real Madrid vs. Chelsea is up in the air, but Liverpool is a massive favorite to eliminate Benfica, Bayern Munich should have no trouble with Villarreal and even Atlético is facing mission impossible against Manchester City.
CONMEBOL celebró este viernes el sorteo de la edición 2022 de la Copa Libertadores, el torneo al que muchos fans del fútbol mexicano desean volver algún día.
El azar de la tómbola y las bolillas arrojó un par de clásicos que de seguro remecerán el continente.
Sin necesidad de rodeos, los grupos quedaron así:
Ajax hosted Feyenoord on Sunday afternoon in a massive De Klassieker that was bound to prove decisive in the Eredivisie title race with the home side entering the match top of the table but just two points above second-place PSV. Feyenoord sat third, eight points back of Ajax, but a win at Johan Cruyff Arena would put the Rotterdam-based club right back in it.
Ajax experienced a foreboding start when a pyrotechnics display accidentally set fire to the club's own banners. The inferno caused a delay, but no injuries have been reported.
The Champions League draw for the quarterfinals and eventual semifinal matchups was held on Friday, with the eight remaining teams discovering their paths to glory. Some sets of fans *cough Liverpool* will be ecstatic with the Champions League draw. Others, not so much. Here is the full draw and the Champions League quarterfinal odds.
The quarter-finals are set! ✔️
Después de pelarse las piernas eliminando a Cristiano Ronaldo, Héctor Herrera y sus compañeros en el Atlético de Madrid sueñan más que nunca con la posibilidad de ganar la Champions League. La tarea no será simple, menos considerando los colosales obstáculos que aparecen a partir de los cuartos de final del torneo.
Launching fireworks outside a team’s hotel before their big game is a common tactic seen around the world. One of the most iconic instances of this was when Iranian fans threw a party outside the hotel where Portugal’s national team was staying for the 2018 World Cup and Cristiano Ronaldo asked for some sleep.
Portugal plays Iran today. Last night Iranian fans partied outside the Portuguese hotel waking up CRISTIANO RONALDO. This is amazing.pic.twitter.com/VdrQbUF0pv
Benfica pulled off a smash-and-grab victory in Amsterdam on Tuesday defeating a much better-looking Ajax side 1-0 to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals winning 3-2 on aggregate.
If you watched the game on Paramount+ then you also suffered an unbearable 90 minutes where the audio was about one second ahead of the video on screen. One second doesn’t sound like a whole lot, but it becomes very apparent while watching.
Benfica visitó Ámsterdam y con apenas un tiro al arco eliminó al Ajax de la Champions League. El gol del triunfo de los portugueses vino a través de un cabezazo de Darwin Núñez, tras una dudosa falta cobrada al mexicano Edson Álvarez.
Machín volvía a la titularidad del equipo neerlandés, luego de perderse un juego de la Eredivisie por una enfermedad que no fue especificada por los servicios médicos del Ajax.
AMSTERDAM — Dutch prosecutors intend to press attempted murder charges against Spartak Moscow football player Quincy Promes, they said on Wednesday, in order to ensure his case proceeds as quickly as possible.
Promes was arrested in connection with a July 2020 stabbing in the Dutch town of Abcoude. It later emerged that the alleged victim was Promes's cousin and the incident took place in a fight after a family party. Promes has denied involvement.
Robert Lewandowski is the most clinical striker in men’s football right now. Give him half a chance and he’ll bury it. Give him three of the easiest chances in the world and he’ll have an 11-minute hat trick. He’ll even score one with his crotch, because why not?
Bayern Munich scored four first-half goals — three by Lewandowski — on the way to a 7-1 win over RB Salzburg to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals 8-2 on aggregate on Tuesday in Munich.
