THE CHAMPIONS!
We’ve got a fresh slate of UEFA Champions League action today as the competition enters a new phase, with the first legs of the knockout phase playoffs determining who advances to the round of 16.
Headlining Tuesday’s matches is a rematch from the final day of the league phase, as José Mourinho’s Benfica looked to stun Álvaro Arbeloa’s Real Madrid in Lisbon again in Lisbon. However, it was Vinícius Júnior that got the winning goal to help the visitors snatch a crucial 1-0 away win.
Elsewhere, it’s an all-Francophone affair with AS Monaco taking on defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, and while Les Monégasques took an early lead with two goals from Folarin Balogun, the defending Champions League completed the comeback with a 3-2 win.
Finally, Borussia Dortmund welcomed Atalanta but finished the match as winners, beating the Italian club 2-0.
Enjoy all that happened from Tuesday’s matches.
