Champions League Round 16 – Two Games Not To Miss
TUESDAY 18th – PSG v DORTMUND
Some of the world’s greatest young attacking talents come together for what will hopefully be a great night of football.
Erling Haaland is killing it for Dortmund since joining in January, and the 40 Odds million may just be the best money ever spent. Jadon Sancho is also one of football’s brightest prospects.
Oh, and PSG only have Neymar and Mbappe, among the other superstars.
WEDNESDAY 26th – REAL MADRID v MAN CITY
A game that had plenty to offer before Friday’s big bombshell from UEFA.
Neither side is at their very best this season, the only difference is that Man City are a mile off Liverpool, and one of Real Madrid’s rivals seemingly want top win the league either.
Can Man City win the title by knocking off the team that has won the most trophies in this competition this round? Given their league position, this was the big thing left to play for anyway, and even more so now.
