Champions League: Matches against the backdrop of the semi-finals

Barcelona-Paris Saint-Germain

Macara was the first meeting between the two teams, with the Catalans prevailing 3-2 away, making a terrible reversal in the final stretch, with Xavi vindicated for his changes.

Rafinha opened the scoring in the 37th minute. The hosts turned the game around at the start of the second half, with goals from Dembele (48′) and Vitinia (50′), but Rafinha (62′) struck again and Christensen scored the winning goal (77′ ). Luis Enrique’s team paid in a big way for the naivety they showed in another big date, but also for Mbappe’s poor night.

Punished are Christensen and Sergi Roberto. Balde has been out for a while. Hakimi and Mukele return for Paris.

Possible lineups

Barcelona (Xavi): Ter Stegen – Coute, Araujo, Coubertin, Cancelo – Guidogan, De Jong, Pedri – Yamal, Rafinha, Lewandowski

Paris S.Z. (Luis Enrique): Donnarumma – Hakimi, Beraldo, Marquinhos, Mendes – Ugarte, Zaire-Emery, Vitinia – Dembele, Barkola, Mbappe

Referee: Istvan Kovacs

Dortmund-Atletico Madrid

The “Rojiblancos” prevailed 2-1 in “Metropolitano”, in a match, in which she was overall superior, but in the final stretch she played with “fire” and was almost burned by the Westphalians. The “rojiblancos” entered ideally, with a dominant display, a goal in the 4th minute with De Paul and 2-0 in the 32nd minute with Lino.

In the second half, Simeone’s team sat on the plus score, Dortmund increased their performance, reduced with Alle and in the end had two goals, in the 87′ with Baino-Gittens and in the 90’+6′ with Brad!

Dortmund will play without Ale, while Gittens is doubtful, while substitute full-back Bensebaini will be absent again. Sancho is playing normally.

Depay and Lemar remain knocked out, while Lino has been ruled out for Atlético.

Possible lineups

Dortmund (Edin Terzic): Kobel – Ryerson, Hummels, Sloterbeck, Maachen – Zabitcher, Chan – Mullen, Brandt, Sancho – Fulkrug

Atletico Madrid (Diego Simeone): Oblak – Wichel, Jimenez, Hermoso – Molina, Llorente, Koke, Athpilicueta, De Paul – Morata, Griezmann
