THE CHAMPIONS!<\/p>\n

The UEFA Champions League<\/a> is back, and we are finally at the quarterfinals stage, with the final eight teams vying to become champions of Europe. We kick off Wednesday with two great clashes.<\/p>\n

LaLiga<\/a> leaders Barcelona<\/a> took on Atl\u00e9tico Madrid<\/a> in an all-Spanish affair, but it was the visitors who take a 2-0 lead back home to the Spanish capital thanks to goals from Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez<\/a> and Alexander S\u00f8rloth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, defending champions Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> took on six-time champions Liverpool<\/a> and also got a 2-0 win in their first leg, thanks to goals from D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9<\/a> and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enjoy all that happened from Wednesday’s matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ESPN Multiple Authors Apr 9, 2026, 06:55 AMEmailPrintOpen Extended Reactions THE CHAMPIONS!
