The Champions League quarter-finals are halfway through, and things are heating up.
We’ve seen some big first-leg results, and now it’s all about who can finish the job — or pull off a comeback.
Let’s review what happened last week and what to expect for the second legs.
🕹️ First Legs Recap
⚽ Arsenal 3–0 Real Madrid
Arsenal shocked a lot of people with how easy they made this look. Two free-kick goals from Declan Rice and another from Mikel Merino gave them a big win.
Real also finished with 10 men after Camavinga got a red card. Tough spot now for Madrid.
⚽ Bayern Munich 1–2 Inter
Inter took a narrow win from Germany. Lautaro scored again — he has been on fire in the Champions League. Bayern got a goal back, though, so they’re still in it heading to Italy.
⚽ Barcelona 4–0 Dortmund
Total domination from Barça. Lewandowski scored twice against his old team, and Raphinha and Yamal got in on the action too. 4-0 is a huge lead — hard to see Dortmund turning that around.
⚽ PSG 3–1 Aston Villa
Villa went ahead early, but PSG turned it around fast with three good goals. Doué, Kvaratskhelia, and Mendes all scored. Villa weren’t bad, but they’ve got a lot of work to do in the second leg.

📈 Second Leg Betting Tips
🔁 Real Madrid vs Arsenal (0–3 agg.)

Real are down bad, but never count them out at home. Arsenal just need to keep it tight.

🔁 Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich (2–1 agg.)

Inter take a 2–1 lead back home and will look to manage the game. Bayern need goals — and all eyes will be on Harry Kane to deliver. He’s had a big season, and this is the kind of night they brought him in for. But Inter are strong at home and deadly on the counter, so Bayern need to be careful.
Tips:
-
✅ Harry Kane Anytime Scorer – If Bayern are getting through, he’ll have to be the difference.
