REAL MADRID V BAYERN MUNICH
\u200bWEDNESDAY 8 APRIL FROM 4:55AM AEST

With no two teams having met more often in the competition, the biggest rivalry in Europe is back in a massive battle of the giants.

While Real Madrid have won the last four times these teams met in a knockout round, Bayern arrive with a dangerous Harry Kane. It is a high-stakes fight for history as the kings of the Bernabéu look to keep their nine-game unbeaten streak against the German giants alive.

SPORTING V ARSENAL
\u200bWEDNESDAY 8 APRIL FROM 4:55AM AEST

In what is set to be a massive grudge match as the Gunners return to Lisbon after they dominated their last trip with a 5-1 win, Sporting have a history of knocking the London side out of big tournaments.

All eyes are on Arsenal’s star striker Viktor Gyökeres, who returns to face his old club for the first time since leaving. Sporting are fighting to break a 22 year drought for Portuguese teams, while Arsenal want to keep their clinical quarter-final form alive.

PSG V LIVERPOOL
\u200bTHURSDAY 9 APRIL FROM 4:00AM AEST

In a true Champions League heavyweight fight, PSG and Liverpool face off for the seventh time in what is set to be a massive battle for the top spot. While both teams have a history of trading wins, PSG have become a major problem for English sides, famously knocking the Reds out of last year’s tournament.

BARCELONA V ATLETICO MADRID
\u200bTHURSDAY 9 APRIL FROM 4:55AM AEST

In an all-Spanish blockbuster with rivals knowing each other well, Atletico have a perfect Champions League record against Barcelona, famously knocking them out both times they have met at this exact stage.

All eyes are on Barcelona’s teenage superstar Lamine Yamal, who has scored in three straight matches, while Atletico are led by a clinical Julián Alvarez. With goals guaranteed whenever these two giants collide, this is a high-stakes fight for Spanish supremacy that is set to go right down to the wire.
