Champions League: The Eighth -finals program – Media7

The knockout stages of the Champions League start this week with two prestigious posters: a Madrid derby between Real and Atlético on Tuesday, and an explosive duel between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool on Wednesday.

A new Real-Atlético under tension

Tuesday evening, the Santiago Bernabéu will be the scene of yet another duel between Real Madrid and Atlético. If the two teams have neutralized in Liga this season (1-1 twice), European history is leaning largely in favor of the Merengues. Real eliminated its neighbor in quarters (2015), in the semi-finals (2017) and in two C1 finals (2014 and 2016), recalling its grip on this duel. However, Atlético arrives with confidence, having recently exceeded its rival in the Liga ranking.

A park of boiling princes

On Wednesday, PSG receives Liverpool for a shock at the top. With a series of ten consecutive victories, the Parisian club, led by an Ousmane Dembélé on fire (18 goals in 2025), is preparing to face an impressive Liverpool team in the Premier League, carried by a Mohamed Salah in search of the Golden Ball.

Luis Enrique, aware of the challenge, wants to be ambitious: “We face the best team in Europe, but it’s 50-50”. After a brilliant success against Lille (4-1) and a significant victory against Manchester City (4-2) earlier in the season, PSG intends to prove that it can compete with the European elite.
