Real Madrid 1-2 Manchester City
In the Premier League, the Citizens from Manchester are hopelessly behind the Reds from Liverpool. They are no longer allowed to participate in the Champions League for the next two years – as a consequence of years of violations of financial fair play. The prerequisite for this, however, is that the English champion, who defends himself against the Uefa verdict, fails with his appeal to the International Sports Court in Lausanne.
–
Either way: City is plagued with quarrels and theater. In the Bernabeu, however, shows what athletic class there is in the team. The English champion has won 2-1 at Real for the last two years – and that deserves and despite deficit, which Isco rockets to the English after Vinicius’ preliminary work.
–
But the Pep Guardiola team remains cool and thanks to Kevin De Bruyne forces the turn. He prepares the equalization by Gabriel Jesus, he shoots the penalty for 2-1 himself.
–
For the Catalan Guardiola in particular, victory is balm for the battered coaching soul. Not only that he wins in Madrid of all places, where he already fought many battles with Barcelona. But also because it proves that it can also win close, hot, delicate games internationally. This week, Thomas Müller, his ex-Bayern player, said Guardiola might be too “braked” to win the Champions League again.

The goals: 60th Isco 1: 0, 78.Jesus 1: 1, 83. De Bruyne (foul penalty) 1: 2.

Olympique Lyon 1-0 Juventus
As if the task wasn’t difficult enough for the French, Lyon coach Rudi Garcia is also missing his biggest star, Memphis Depay. The former ManUnited player is missing due to a cruciate ligament tear for the rest of the season.
–
Juve, headed by Cristiano Ronaldo, also shows what it is up to here in the Alps. The first big possibility belongs to Lyon – Ekambi heads to the crossbar after a corner (21st). The lead falls just a little later. Juve then runs. But somehow the favorites don’t want to succeed much. The massaged Lyon defense is in good shape.
–
The away goal is no longer coming. But: To make a 0: 1 in a home game is not impossible for a caliber like Juve. Lyon also hopes for the big coup.

The gate: 31. Tousart 1-0.
