A new week of Champions League soccer will decide the final four teams of the 2024-25 season as the semifinals, which will take place on April 29-30 and May 6-7 before the much awaited final on May 31 at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

While FC Barcelona and PSG are one step away from the semifinals, Real Madrid will try to conjure up another comeback at their home stadium in Madrid after losing 3-0 to Arsenal in the first leg last week. German giants Bayern Munich, despite key injuries that are affecting the side coached by Vincent Kompany, need to react after 2-1 defeat last Tuesday in Munich against Inter, as Davide Frattesi’s late goal gave Inter a big chance to end up in the top four again.

The second legs of the Champions League quarterfinals will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday. Barcelona will visit Borussia Dortmund after their 4-0 win in the first leg, while PSG faces Aston Villa after their 3-1 defeat at Parc de Princes. Real Madrid will host Arsenal in what has been noted as one of the most awaited matchups of the week. Inter will take on Bayern Munich in a tie that is expected to be filled with uncertainty.

FC Barcelona have an easy job: They are likely to secure their position in the semis with their 4-0 advantage.

PSG positioned well: After a 3-1 win last week, they are poised to face either Arsenal or Real Madrid.

Real Madrid’s Challenge: Historically known for iconic comebacks, they hope to achieve another against Arsenal after a previous heavy loss.

Inter vs Bayern: With a tight scoreline and a jet pace in the matches preceding, Inter looks strong against Bayern Munich.

Expectations run high for thrilling games as the quarterfinals unfold.
