Radio Foot Internationale takes stock of the last 2 meetings of the first leg of the Champions League 8th finals. - The first round at OL!

Publicity

Carried by their stadium, the Gones, who were predicted to have a more than complicated match against Juve, obtained a precious (but short) victory against Juve without conceding a goal. - A success and a revenge of those who had often been criticized until then. Tousart decisive, Marcelo solid, Rudi Garcia and his system in 3-4-3 which worked.- The premiere of young Guimaraes in the Champions League was reassuring. - 2 different halves for OL, including one spent defending. - A Juventus from Turin contained, and the Italian press which is not tender with the "Vecchia Signora" which did not frame a shot. - 2 penalties forgotten for Turinese? This seems obvious to Maurizio Sarri. - Do the Lyonnais, who remain in the running in all the competitions and are faced with a busy schedule, have a chance to see the ¼? - Real Madrid / Manchester City. Dirty evening for the Merengues, Guardiola wins a tactical duel.-Deserved victory for the SkyBlues? The Citizens played without complex, Gabriel Jesus and Kevin de Bruyne shone. Did they come to win at the Bernabeu? Madrid residents whose difficulties on the European level are resurfacing, and who are not reassured before the Clasico. Forced to exploit in England, March 17, 2020? - Assessment of the 8 first meetings of these 8th of C1 and surprises. 4 second group formations won. The "Citizens" save the honor of the English, Bergamo's performance against Valence was not necessarily expected, Lyon steals the show in Paris, a fine group shot by the Germans. Can the so-called “favorite” clubs qualify?
