Champions League: all the participants of the quarterfinals have become known

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the last four matches of the 1/8 finals took place, in which the last four participants of the next round of the tournament were determined. It was not without surprises.

After the victory at the San Siro, Bayern fans were absolutely confident in their team. Inter Milan had slightly different plans.





Already in the 4th minute, Goran Pandev "rolled out" Samuel Eto'o, and the Cameroonian shot Kraft "between".





The hosts did not agree with this state of affairs and went on a furious attack. For some time, the Italians fought back. But it lasted exactly 17 minutes. An incredible goal was scored by Mario Gomez. Arjen Robben shot from his cannon, and the goalkeeper of the guests Julio Cesar could not fix the ball, which bounced off the Brazilian like rubber from the asphalt. The first on the ball was Gomez, who, standing with his back to the goal, without looking, sent the ball through himself into the net.





The goal inspired the hosts, and they ran in with even greater desire. Another 10 minutes and the score is already 2:1 in favor of Bayern. Thiago Motta clumsily went to intercept the ball, it bounced to Müller, and the German did not make a mistake.





Until the end of the first half, Inter finally "crumbled" and only miraculously did not get goals into their own net yet. The second half continued under a flurry of Bayern attacks, but Leonardo replaced Stankovic with the young Coutinho, and it gave a result. In the 73rd minute, the Brazilian prodigy passed to Sammy, and he gave an assist to Snyder. 2:2 and there were 17 minutes left to play.





The Inter players had enough of this. The remaining time the initiative passed completely to the guests, and two minutes before the end, the Cameroonian again gave a pass to Pandev. Goran led his club to the next round. Fantastic from Intersti!

In the second match, Manchester United hosted Marseille. No matter how much they said that the "devils" would easily pass the French, it did not work out.



Even a quick goal from Javier Hernandez did not help the hosts relax. Barely 5 minutes of the match had passed, as Rooney played on Chicharito and the Mexican put the English ahead.







Olimpik had a couple of chances in the first half. However, neither Gignac nor Diawara realized the opportunity.



In the second half, the game calmed down a little, and when the visitors opened up, they were immediately caught on the counterattack. Giggs crossed into the center of the penalty area, and Chicharito was again on the edge.







In the 82nd minute, Wes Brown gave another chance to the visitors, scoring an own header after a corner. Alas, that was the end of it.

Well, yesterday's dessert was the match between Real Madrid and Lyon. After a productive draw in France, the Galacticos needed to win urgently.



Given the fact that the Spaniards have not reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League for six years, the team literally "dug the ground". And the victory turned out to be very spectacular. Seu Jose knows a lot about beautiful football. Especially when you have such megastars at your disposal. From the opening minutes, the hosts looked preferable, however, they were able to score only in the end. Defender Marcelo played one-two with Cristiano Ronaldo and powerfully struck Lloris.



In the second half, the Whites came out even more wound up and in the 66th minute, after several unsuccessful attempts, Karim Benzema still scored.





And 10 minutes later, Angel Di Maria made the score crushing, after a header from Mesut Ezil.
