Matchday 1 – April 9, 2025 | 12:30 AM IST
Real Madrid vs Arsenal: Clash of the Titans
Defending champions Real Madrid take on a depleted Arsenal side in the first match of the night. Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta faces a selection crisis with key players Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori, Gabriel Magalhães, and Jurriën Timber all ruled out due to injuries. However, the return of Bukayo Saka offers a much-needed boost.
Madrid, on the other hand, enter this tie in top form after recent wins in La Liga and the Copa del Rey. The spotlight will be on Kylian Mbappé, who continues to dazzle and draw comparisons with club legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan: Attack Meets Defence
In the other fixture, Bayern Munich face off against Inter Milan in a battle of contrasting styles. Bayern, bolstered by Harry Kane—who has already netted 10 Champions League goals—will look to dominate. Inter, fresh off a convincing 4-1 aggregate win over Feyenoord, bring their exceptional defensive record to the table, having kept eight clean sheets, the most by any team this season.
This match promises to be a gripping showdown between Bayern’s relentless offense and Inter’s rock-solid defence.
Matchday 2 – April 10, 2025 | 12:30 AM IST
Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund: Youth Power vs Grit
Barcelona, the tournament’s top scorers with 32 goals, lock horns with Borussia Dortmund in what promises to be a high-octane affair. Led by captain Rafinha and veteran Robert Lewandowski, Barça’s young squad has lit up the competition.
Historically, Barcelona have never lost to Dortmund in their five previous Champions League meetings—a stat they’ll look to uphold as they eye the semifinals.
PSG vs Aston Villa: Fairytale or Finale?
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will go up against Aston Villa, who are enjoying a dream run in their first UCL quarterfinals since the 1982-83 season. Under Luis Enrique, PSG has looked sharp despite missing stars like Neymar and Mbappé. They’ve kept five clean sheets and haven’t conceded a single penalty.
Aston Villa, meanwhile, are the underdogs-turned-giant-slayers. The big question: can they continue their magical run, or will PSG’s experience and firepower be too much to handle?
