On Wednesday, the UEFA Champions League finished the quarterfinal stage. The last two tickets to the quarterfinals were taken by the clubs "Liverpool" and "Barcelona". At the "Allianz" Stadium in Munich, "Bayern" hosted last season's finalists, the footballers of "Liverpool". Jurgen Klopp's players proved their advantage from the very beginning and celebrated a 3-1 victory. The first match in Liverpool ended in a draw, so in this match the teams could not break the tie. The visitors from England, "Liverpool", started the match well and felt confident in Bavaria both with and without the ball. In the 26th minute, it was not the defenders who made a mistake near Bayern's goal, but Manuel Neuer himself - the goalkeeper rushed out of the goal trying to stop Sadio Mane, but Mane easily avoided contact with the German and scored a great goal to put Liverpool ahead. However, Bayern stepped up after conceding the goal and in the 39th minute they equalized - after a precise pass by Serge Gnabry, Joel Matip scored an own goal. The result did not satisfy the Bayern team, but in the second half they did not take risks and played a rather primitive style of football. In the 69th minute, a decisive blow was dealt in the match - Virgil van Dijk headed in a powerful shot to give the visitors the lead. In the 84th minute, the same S. Mane sealed the deal, this time after a great pass from Mohamed Salah. In other matches, "Barcelona" advanced to the quarterfinals in style. The Catalans had a strong finish to the match and scored five goals against the "Lyon" team. "Barca" started the match fantastically - Lionel Messi scored from the penalty spot in the 18th minute to put the hosts ahead, and Philippe Coutinho increased the lead in the 31st minute. In the second half, Lyon briefly brought some intrigue back into the match, as Lucas Tousart scored in the 58th minute, but after that, "Barca" stepped up and dealt a blow to their opponents. In the 78th minute, L. Messi restored the two-goal advantage with a fantastic finish, then Gerard Pique scored in the 81st minute, and Ousmane Dembele sealed Lyon's fate in the 86th minute. The draws for the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, semifinals, and final will take place on Friday at 13:00 Lithuanian time.
