Image
A dramatic Matchday 6 awaits in Group F with Borussia Dortmund taking on Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night with a multitude of scenarios in play.

Five takeaways from Man Utd's Champions League win over Kobenhavn

Image
Having lost their opening two UEFA Champions League group stage games of the season, the clash with Kobenhavn on Tuesday evening was do or die for Manchester United. And although it wasn't pretty, the Red Devils did eventually see off the Danish champions thanks to a second-half goal from Harry Maguire and a last-minute penalty save from Andre Onana. Here's 90min's takeaways from that crucial win... Harry Maguire has rediscovered his confidence and his best form TobwVsLX3M2nuQwaf1i99T1oKqMSJgfvxI1tyhl6U C1 r Back to his best / Jan Kruger/GettyImages From being stripped of the Man Utd captaincy and nearly forced out of Old Trafford to being the match-winner in a Champions League Game - it's fair to say that Harry Maguire's turnaround in fortunes has been rather remarkable. Thrown back into the starting XI thanks to the myriad of injuries in defence recently - Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Sergio Reguilon have ...

Carlo Ancelotti makes Real Madrid history with victory over Chelsea

Carlo Ancelotti made Real Madrid History on Wednesday with a 2-0 Champions League victory over Chelsea, meaning he has won more Game s in the com Pet ition than any other in the club's History . The quarter-final first leg at the Bernabeu, sealed by goals in either half from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio, was Ancelotti’s 35th Champions League win in charge of Los Blancos. That now puts the Italian one ahead of Vicente del Bosque, whose record of 34 Ancelotti had equalled in the previous round when Real beat Liverpool 1-0 at the Bernabeu. Ancelotti’s 35 Champions League wins with Real have come over two successful spells at the club, the first resulting in the elusive Decima in 2014 and the second yielding last season’s continental triumph – Real’s 14th European title in total. Between his first and second spells at the club, there were six years in which Ancelotti took jobs at Bayern Munich, Napoli and Everton. He left the latter in 2021 when Real offered him his old job bac...

Frank Lampard details how Chelsea can beat Real Madrid

Frank Lampard has admitted that Chelsea have to play to their own strengths in their UEFA Champions League clash with Real Madrid on Wednesday evening. The Blues go into the first leg of the quarter-final off the back of a torrid run of form which saw Graham Potter lose his job and be replaced by Lampard on an interim basis. Lampard's arrival, however, hasn't done much to rectify their slide down the Premier League table, as Chelsea suffered a harrowing defeat to Wolves in his first Game back in charge. Chelsea face a mammoth task of a two-legged Champions League quarter-final with reigning European champions Real Madrid, who eliminated the Blues at this stage last season. Speaking to the press ahead of the game, Lampard was asked how he intends to go about the game. "We have to understand the strengths of the Real Madrid team, their qualities in possession and their individual talent. We have to be very disciplined in our Game off the ball, and understand the threats...

Man City fixtures: How Bayern Munich Champions League tie fits into 2022/23 schedule

Manchester City have been pitted against Bayern Munich in a Champions League quarter-final littered with as many subplots as sublime players. Pep Guardiola's former employers are the only team to have won every match they've contested in this season's competition. Manchester City's Erling Haaland is the tournament's top scorer this year but Bayern Munich can boast the leading assist-provider - although, four of Joao Cancelo's five European assists came while he was playing for City (including two for Haaland) before arriving in Bavaria on loan in January. The intricate web of interwoven brilliance goes on and on. However, City are still very much in a Premier League title race with Arsenal - fortunately there are no links between individuals from both clubs in that dynamic. So, where does this Champions League quarter-final between two of the com Pet ition's favourites fit into City's calendar? How Bayern Munich tie fits into Man City's 2022/23 sch...
