Unmissable clashes of the European week ⭐️ | OneFootball

The knockout phase of the Champions League continues with the second-leg playoff matches. After first legs filled with goals and emotions, particularly exciting fixtures await the fans this week. Here's an overview.

Paris Saint-Germain ⚔️ AS Monaco

The all-French duel promises to be tight after PSG's 3-2 win in the first leg. The one-goal difference remains fragile and leaves the door open for a Monaco comeback.

Paris will need to find the right balance between offensive ambition and defensive control to avoid any surprises against a Monaco team capable of a prideful resurgence.

Juventus ⚔️ Galatasaray

Galatasaray already holds a comfortable lead after their clear 5-2 victory in the first leg. Juventus, trailing by three goals, cannot afford any mistakes at home.

Historically, Juve struggles when conceding multiple goals in a two-legged knockout tie, which places the Turks in a very favorable position before this return match. The Old Lady must significantly raise their game to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

Inter Milan ⚔️ Bodø/Glimt

The task seems daunting for Inter. Beaten 3-1 in the first leg in Norway, the Nerazzurri must turn the tide against an efficient and ambitious Bodø/Glimt.

Statistically, the Italian team sometimes struggles to overcome first-leg defeats in European competition, which could weigh heavily on their tactical approach.

Real Madrid ⚔️ Benfica

Real Madrid approaches this return leg with a slim advantage after their 1-0 victory in the first leg. In European confrontations, a small margin can be tricky to defend, especially against a team like Benfica, which plays a direct game.

Real will need to impose their rhythm and capitalize on their experience in key moments to contain the Portuguese pressing and secure their lead.
