In the quarter-finals, the Citizens had a tough battle with Atletico, whom they knocked out after 1: 0 and 0: 0 results.

The quarter-final against the Spaniards was very difficult for the Citizens. Atlético decided to defend for most of the match, and even started without a striker in the first game. In the second game, there were several scrums as Atleti took the elimination hard.

Real Madrid matches are very exciting. They faced PSG of France in the eighth round. They lost the first match 0:1, but managed to win the second match 3:1. Karim Benzema scored a hat-trick for the Parisians.

In the quarter-finals they faced Chelsea, whom they beat 3-1 in the first leg. The second leg also ended 3-1 after ninety minutes, but this time from Chelsea’s point of view, and so it went into extra time. Karim Benzema scored again to send Real into the semi-finals.
