VIDEO OF THE DAY
Champions League. Quarter-finals. First matches
Real Madrid (Spain) – Bayern Munich (Germany) – 1:2 (Mbappé, 74 – Diaz, 41, Kane, 46).
No one has met in European competition more often than the Madrid and Munich giants (29 times). The last two meetings between the rivals — in 2018 and 2024 — ended in Real Madrid's favor.

But this time, Bayern, after a 10:2 aggregate win over Atalanta, came to the Santiago Bernabeu as one of the main contenders for victory in the Champions League (bookmakers rated only Arsenal's chances higher) and upset Lunin and his teammates in a spectacular game with mutual chances of success.
At the end of the first half, Colombian Diaz scored with a well-aimed shot, and at the 22nd second of the second 45-minute period, Kane scored his 11th goal in the tournament (only Mbappe, the author of the only goal for Madrid, has more well-aimed shots – 14). Bayern's first victory on the Real Madrid field since 2001. But how many times did Vinicius and company forgive Kompany's team or lose duels to 40-year-old goalkeeper Neuer this evening!
Sporting (Portugal) — Arsenal (England) — 0:1 (Havertz, 90+1).

Premier League leaders Arsenal arrived at Lisbon's José Alvalade stadium after being knocked out of the Copa do Brasil and the EFL Cup. And at a time when Sporting had won nine consecutive home matches in all competitions, the Gunners not only ended the impressive run of results for the Lisbon side, but also snatched a 90+1 minute victory.
Reciprocal meetings are scheduled in Munich and London for April 15.
On Wednesday, April 8, the first quarterfinal matches of the Champions League will be played between: Barcelona (Spain) – Atletico (Spain) and PSG (France) – Liverpool (England).
