UEFA Champions League Quarter Finals Spiced Up??

We are having the results of the first leg of the Champions League quarter finals. Let us have a look on what lies ahead in the second leg. So lets so game by game.

Tottenham vs Manchester City 

The controversial decision of penalty awarded to City was not converted by Aguero. and later in the 78th minute Son scored the only goal of the game to make to 1-0 in Tottenham's favour. The second leg will be played in the Etihad Stadium and not only this, Harry Kane's absence will also be there to give City an upper hand. Despite the advantages, Pep will be under huge pressure as he has failed to manage his team in the Champions League. 
Key Players: Manchester City- Aguero, Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne 
Tottenham- Christian Eriksen, Heung-Min Son and Hugo Lloris (to protect there one goal lead :D) 

Liverpool vs FC Porto 

Well for me this tie is a dead rubber but after that Roma comeback against Barcelona last season I cannot write Porto off. Liverpool are having two goal lead and Porto failed to get an away goal. Liverpool are expected to score goals in the second leg and that will make task even more difficult for FC Porto. Will home support help Porto to get the upper hand or the Reds will continue there dominance? (Comment down below)
Key Players: FC Porto- Iker Casillas, Eder Militao and Tiquinho.
Liverpool- Sadio Mane, Virgil Van Dijk and Fabinho

  Ajax vs Juventus

This was an entertaining clash at Johan Cruijff Arena. Ajax showed fighting spirit to comeback from 1-0 down to 1-1. Juventus are having the away goal advantage but it is only that one goal and Ajax have the capabilities to cancel that out. Ajax dominated the play in the second half and ended the game high on confidence. This will be one clash to watch out for. The next leg at Turin awaits.
Key Players- Juventus- Cristiano Ronaldo, Miralem Pjanic and Alex Sandro.
Ajax- David Neres, Matthijs de Ligt and Frankie de Jong.

Manchester United vs FC Barcelona

The away blues continues for Barcelona in the Champions League. They were not able to control the game as they used to and Messi was not at his best. Manchester United had there own problem as they were unable to test the goal keeper as they failed to get a shot on target. United will be full of confidence after what they have done in Paris but Barcelona have not lost a Champions League home game since 2013.
Key Players- FC Barcelona- Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba
Manchester United- Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and David De Gea.

My semi-final fixtures will be Barcelona vs Liverpool and Juventus vs Tottenham. Till then have a nice football watch folks and comment down below your semi finalist.
