What a match yesterday between Liverpool and PSG, Luis Enrique's side advanced after penalties. The job he's done to rebuild the team from a superstar-heavy lineup to a group where the team is the star is incredible. They outran Liverpool over the 120 minutes, very few teams have been able to say that over the last decade, and the idea that PSG would do it a few years ago would have been unthinkable.
Lamine Yamal is ridiculous, what he's doing at his age is borderline unprecedented, and his work in the first half sent Barcelona through past Benfica. The thing is, as good as he's been this year, Raphinha might be even better with 11 goals and 5 assists in the Champions League to go along with his 27 goals and 19 assists in all competitions.
Inter and Bayern handled their business without any surprises, and Arsenal will join them today in the quarterfinals.
Aston Villa will setup a matchup with PSG if they hold off Club Brugge, Villa will be at home with a 2 goal lead.
Lille and Dortmund are 1-1 going into the second leg in France, I'm expecting Lille to continue surprising folks.
Game of the day is definitely the Madrid Derbi as Atleti hosts Real Madrid, trailing 2-1. The hosts haven't lost a home knockout round matchup in the Champions League in 28 years and Kylian Mbappe is battling a muscle injury, although he's expected to start. Can Diego Simeone's side get past their cross-town rivals?
Seattle and Cincinnati failed in their bids to advance in Concacaf Champions Cup to Cruz Azul and Tigres respectively. Cincinnati took the lead before conceding three times in an eight minute span in the second half. Columbus made LAFC sweat in their second leg, cutting the 3-0 deficit from the first game in LA to 3-2 at halftime, but Hugo Lloris was outstanding for the Black & Gold in the second half and they got a goal with the second-to-last touch of the game to advance 4-2 on aggregate.
Vancouver needs a multiple-goal draw or a win over Monterrey tonight at Santos Laguna's stadium to advance, while the LA Galaxy host Herediano but trail 1-0 coming into the second leg.
More topics in the Espresso include Manchester United, Alianza Lima, Foster Gillett, Manchester City women, and the USMNT. Check it out in the podcast!
