Don’t miss any of the Champions League. As always you can catch all our coverage Paramount+” CBS Sports Network And CBS Sports Golazo Network all season.
Here are our expert choices for this matchday:
The Champions League -Lei from Tuesday
Barcelona vs. Benfica
Player to watch: Pedri – Excellent in the first stage, Pedri has been almost uniform since October. With Benfica obliged to push ahead and pursue the draw, there must be gaps to switch on. Few players are better placed to exploit them. – James Benge
Man of the agreement: Lamine Yamal – After an exciting 1-0 win in the first stage, Lamine Yamal is the player who can make a difference in the home country of Barcelona. Yamal, who scored two goals and provided two assists in the opening of eight games of the tournament, is ready for a big game on Tuesday. – Francesco Porzio
Prediction: Barcelona 2, Benfica 1 – Clean sheets are not one of Barcelona’s strengths in the Wojciech Szczesny era, with the suspension of Pau Cubarsi and the impressive form of Benfica’s Vangica Pavlidis who don’t help things. The side of Hansi Flick, however, has players in midfield and attacks who can make the difference to expect that they do exactly that and send Barcelona to the last eight. – PARDEEP CATRY
Best bet: Raphinha has two shots on goal (+110) – Raphinha currently shot something on his path and was the only goal scorer in the first stage and although he may not find it here, this does not mean that he will not get any shots. With Benfica who has to insist on a victory, that will offer Barcelona’s attack more room to work in which you can exploit. – Chuck Booth
Liverpool versus PSG
Player to watch: Kostas Tsimikas or Andy Robertson – Neither Liverpool left behind this season in particular set the world on fire, and which an Arne shot calls, will have to perform exceptionally. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele created chaos along the PSG in the first stage. It is difficult to see an easy way for Liverpool to put that in the second. – James Benge
Man of the agreement: Mohamed Salah – While the first stage showed an impressive version of PSG and a disappointing one on the side coached by Arne Slot before the winning goal, MO Salah has to make a statement performance on Tuesday. The Egyptian striker scored 27 goals in 29 games played in the English Premier League, but still has to show his best in the European competition this season. – Francesco Porzio
Prediction: Liverpool 1, PSG 2 – This is demonstrable the Game to view this week, since PSG demonstrated in the first stage that they have what is needed to rattle Liverpool. The Reds have gone away with a Paris and do not want to do this at home again, but the tiredness of a long season is shown and PSG’s Young Squad has a lot of talent and drives to force them to spot kicking. At that time it is a gamble, so why wouldn’t you guess that a upset might be in the store? – PARDEEP CATRY
Best bet: Mohamed Salah to score (+150) – Salah didn’t have a great game in the first stage in Paris, but at home the Egyptian is another player. This is at the weird location of Liverpool that does not have to score to move forward, but an early goal can bring this draw out of reach. In the midst of one of the best seasons that someone has seen a football player, if someone finds the back of the net before Liverpool, it is Salah with the pressure on. – Chuck Booth
The Champions League -Lei from Wednesday
Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid
Player to watch: Julian Alvarez – Sunday’s defeat to Crystalen Getafe the budding importance of their young Argentinian to Atletico Madrid. Alvarez could not get started nor his team. The attacker can do it all, hit his husband, poach and create for others. – James Benge
Man of the match: Kylian Mbappe – After the first stage in the Santiago Bernabeu, the side of Carlo Ancelotti will have to defend themselves at their best against the Diego Simeone team, but then the counterattacks may be the key factor for this draw and a player like Mbappe can express at his best. – Francesco Porzio
Prediction: Atletico Madrid 1, Real Madrid 1 – It may be waved in Real Madrid last week, but these two teams are evenly tuned throughout the season. Expect another competitive game that ends in a draw, where the talented attack by Atletico falls, just a shortage of this draw and reaching the last eight. – PARDEEP CATRY
Best bet: Ousmane both teams to score and more than 2.5 goals (-118)- There has not been much to separate these teams and both want to play their football on the front foot, so that could be the stage for goals. It is impossible to say how this competition will go, but there are too many talented attackers on each side to see this going, especially in view of the fine finishes that could be seen in the first stage. If Atleti gets the first goal at home, this can increase. – Chuck Booth
