On Tuesday after the winter break, the battles continued in the UEFA Champions League tournament. In the eagerly awaited first leg of the quarterfinals, the paths crossed between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid teams. The home team took the initiative from the start of the match. However, M. Pochettino's warriors failed to turn ball control into a goal avalanche. At halftime, the scoreboard showed a tied result - 0:0. The significant moment of the match came in the 60th minute, when Real Madrid defender D. Carvajal brought down K. Mbappe in the penalty area and a penalty kick was awarded. Unfortunately for PSG, L. Messi failed to outsmart Th. Courtois and the result remained unchanged. Soon after the substitution, the long-time non-playing forward Neymar appeared on the field, but even he couldn't change the fate of the match. Just when it seemed to fans that the match would end in a tie, K. Mbappe spoke up, entering the penalty area in the third minute of added time and scoring the decisive goal - 1:0.
In another quarterfinal meeting in Portugal, Manchester City decided the fate of the pair in the first half - B. Silva scored two goals into the Sporting Lisbon net, with Ph. Foden and R. Mahrez scoring one each. R. Sterling ended the opponent's resistance in the second half - 5:0
