Real may not have played a memorable double-header, but they were concrete and deadly when the opportunities presented themselves - more than enough to remind Manchester City for the third season in a row who the biggest club in Europe is.
"Royal Club" celebrated on the Island (2:1) after 3:0 in Madrid, having had a player more from the 20th minute and ultimately scheduled a super classic with Bayern in the quarterfinals. The Bavarians still have a rematch to look forward to, but after 6:0 in Bergamo, Atalanta can hardly believe in an unprecedented miracle.
The second leg in Manchester was decided after about twenty minutes - Bernardo Silva handled the ball on the goal line, referee Clemon Turpan pointed to a penalty and showed the Portuguese the way to the locker room. Vinicius Junior made no mistake from the penalty spot this time.
Pep Guardiola's team played well even with a player less, had several chances, but only found the net once - Erling Haaland did it at the end of the first half.
Finally, in the 93rd minute, Vinicius put an end to another lesson for City with another goal.
Arsenal is also among the top eight, having eliminated Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 in a rout with beautiful goals from Eberechi Eze and Declan Rice, after the first leg ended 1-1.
Paris Saint-Germain found their rhythm in the knockout stages last season, and it seems that the European champions are doing the same now - the Saints "sent" Chelsea out of Europe with an aggregate score of 8:2.
Atomic Sporting like Depor, Barca, Liverpool and Roma
Sporting Lisbon is in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, after a memorable comeback against Boda/Glimt.
The "Lions" crushed the sensation from Norway 5:0, erased the defeat (3:0) from the first match and deservedly found themselves among the top eight in Europe.
The feat is best illustrated by the fact that only four teams have managed to advance after losing by three or more goals in the first match.
They were Deportivo La Coruña (Milan 2004), Barcelona (PSG 2017), Roma (Barcelona 2018) and Liverpool (Roma 2019).
Sporting will play Arsenal in the semi-finals, Real is expecting the aforementioned classic, and PSG is expecting better from tomorrow's Liverpool - Galatasaray duel.
