(ESP-ENG) No hay favoritos! [Opinión]
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
On Friday the draw for the quarterfinals of the Champions League took place and the truth is that it left us many surprises, some that for me are spectacular for the show and that, at least for me, I had not seen such even crossings for a long time. But when I talk about the fact that there are no favorites, I do not mean that since they are all soccer powers it will be difficult to get it right, no no, I mean the opposite; so far I consider that I have not seen any club of the eight that are still alive to be decisive, dominant and therefore a clear candidate to reach at least the final.
And the level shown by almost all the teams has been very even and not exactly for the better. Let's start with the main course: Man City vs Real Madrid. I don't think anyone expected this clash at this stage, in any case in a semifinal or even a final, but fate would have it that one of the two great favorites of the people is out in just the quarterfinals. If there is a league that is close, it is the Premier League, the Citizens are in third place, one point behind leaders Arsenal. The Citizens have been solid in this Champions League, first in the group stage and they beat Copenhagen in the round of 16, maybe they don't have a showy game but they are incredibly effective.
On the other hand, the Merengues also finished the group stage undefeated but in the round of 16 it was a different story and it was really hard for them to beat Leipzig, so much so that the aggregate was only 2-1. I find it strange that this happens to this team knowing the potential they have, but sometimes they seem totally disconnected from the field and the game. In the league they are "comfortably" leading with an 8 point advantage but sometimes they still have to suffer. Favorite? - I honestly have no idea but I'll go for Madrid only because of history, this club grows a lot in big games, sometimes in inexplicable ways, and end up solving them. But yes, this match is the closest of the four.
Culés and Parisians will meet again, this rivalry is not new but it will have new spices: Luis Enrique on the coaching bench and a certain Dembelé. Here the story is very similar and both clubs, at least in this edition, have not been consolidated at all. The blaugranas finished first, but tied with Porto and in the round of 16 they beat a very passive Napoli. While those of Mbappe and company I think it has been even worse because they almost got out in the same group stage, and in the round of 16 against Real Sociedad if it is true that they righted the ship a little. It must be said that both are doing well in their respective leagues, little by little, at least Xavi's team has been able to maintain the pace of play.
The issue here is that PSG has a vital and important differentiating factor: Kylian Mbappé. I think that with Luis Enrique the French are playing a little better, at least they are playing a more colorful and meaningful game, which translates into a higher degree of favoritism. Barca and injuries are hitting them hard but they are still on the path to win as best they can. Their Achilles heel is defense so we'll see what they do with the speed of the French up top. But in the end PSG is a small club, for me without identity or roots and that weighs. winner? - I think PSG can spoil the Culé party, if Xavi's team doesn't play well, they will have a hard time. Third match: Bayern vs Arsenal. One that a priori does not seem so interesting but I think it will be a great game especially for the present of Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta's team is having a dream season, leaders of the Premier League and qualified for the quarterfinals after a very close match against Porto, which went to penalties. Meanwhile, Bayern are still in the shadow of Leverkusen, with no way of catching the Alonso team. For me, the fact that the Bavarians are in these quarters is a surprise because the first game against Lazio in the round of 16 was a monumental disaster, it seemed impossible for them to recover but in the end they did and here they are. I think Arsenal is a candidate in this key, I bet on the dynamic and effective game of the English, they have enough players to leave the Teutons in the way and I consider that soccer has a debt with them.
I close with Atletico vs Dortmund. The reality of both clubs is very similar. The red and whites are also unexpected guests, they were not expected to advance against Inter and, well, they did it in extremis. Dortmund did the same against PSV in a more comfortable way. Cholo's team is far from their best so my bet is in favor of the Germans. Honestly I do not see Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semifinals after the season they have been having, although anything is possible. A very even quarterfinals where anything can happen.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos leemos en la próxima!
Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.

Situación complicada pero para mi igualmente el City está aún por encima del resto, pero mi Madrid, es el Madrid y ya sabemos. 😅
El city es de los que se vió más sólido por lo que puede que sea el que está encima pero coincido contigo, el Madrid por historia capaz avanza.
Dormunt, Psg, Bayern y City. Son mis pronosticos, una lastima que el Inter no clasifico pero bueno, veamos que ocurre en estos cruces. Saludos
Si, merecía más el Inter la verdad, su temporada está siendo espectacular. Pero nada, los penales son crueles.
OJALÁ EL BARCA PASE A OTRA INSTANCIA PERO CREO QUE SIENDO SINCEROS HASTA AQUÍ LLEGA...
Capaz pasan pero el PSG tendría que jugar realmente mal y aunque los franceses no me gustan están jugando ligeramente mejor que temporadas pasadas. Pero si, los culés podrían avanzar.
Así es man

Personalmente creo que, sin duda, como está mentalmente un Bayern, ya que Tuchel se irá al finalizar la temporada y sumado a eso tienen prácticamente asumido que el Leverkusen se quedará con el título de la Bundesliga. El Arsenal, pese a su juventud, llega después de superar la barrera de los octavos algo que parecía un gran límite los últimos años.
Entonces bajo ese pensamiento el Barca también pasaría? Porque Xavi se va al final de temporada aunque yo no sé si creer eso del todo. Ojalá pase el Arsenal, de los 8 es el equipo al que más fe le tengo.
