On Friday evening, after a long break, the UEFA Champions League returned, where two second leg matches of the quarterfinals were played. "Manchester City" at home, with the same score as in the first match, beat Madrid's "Real" 2:1 and advanced to the tournament quarterfinals. The "Citizens" took the lead in the 9th minute after a mistake by Raphael Varane, which Raheem Sterling converted into a goal. In the 28th minute, "Real" revived their hopes by excellently playing a header and equalizing the score through Karim Benzema. After the equalizing goal, the "royal" club seemed to control the situation on the field, but in the 68th minute, R. Varane made a rough mistake again, and Gabriel Jesus once again put the hosts ahead. Both teams did not score any more goals, and "Man City" won the quarterfinal series with an aggregate score of 4:2.
In the other match, "Lyon" lost 2:1 to "Juventus" at an away game, and although the overall series result was equal - 2:2, the French club unexpectedly advanced to the next stage due to the away goal. In the 12th minute, a questionable penalty was awarded to the Turin team, which was successfully converted by Memphis Depay, putting "Juventus" in an unfavorable situation. In the 43rd minute, another questionable penalty was awarded, this time to the other team, and Cristiano Ronaldo equalized the score with a successful strike. The same Portuguese player scored a fantastic goal in the 60th minute, putting the Italian champions ahead, but "Juventus" failed to score the decisive goal in the remaining time. It is precisely "Man City" and "Lyon" clubs that will face each other in the Champions League quarterfinals.
