This is an exciting time to be a football fan as we approach the Euro 2020 (in 2021, I know it’s confusing) tournament this summer but there’s still a lot of European club competition action to recap left as well! I will also give some early Euro 2020 predictions based on the results of the last international break. So let’s begin!

Europe’s Sweet 16

UEFA Champions League

1 Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund

2 Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint-Germain

3 FC Porto vs Chelsea

4 Real Madrid vs Liverpool

Winner of 1 vs 2 and 3 vs 4 face each other in semifinals

Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have been dominant forces in their domestic league, and last season they met in the UEFA Champions League Final

Manchester City are peaking at the right time with their domestic form, while Dortmund is stuttering and slipping down the Bundesliga table. The Citizens will advance to the semifinals.

The Bayern and PSG rematch from last year’s UEFA Champions League final will feature some key absences for both sides. While it’ll be difficult to replace Robert Lewandowski’s explosiveness up front, Bayern have enough other attacking threats and creative forces to send PSG packing again.
