These Are The Champions

In this strange Corona-enforced season; we have Champions League matches coming right up on a Friday night... beautiful. And what tasty matches we have in store; starting tonite: the match of the round: mighty Manchester City take on Champions League legends Real Madrid; fresh from their surreal La Liga triumph over Barcelona.

To up the stakes further; it is City who hold a 2-1 lead after the away leg; meaning they are in pole position to advance to the quarter-finals of a competition they have not done all that well in in recent times. The touch-paper has been set...

The other match is no less enticing; as freshly-crowned Serie A champions Juventus; with Paulo Dybala back on form; take on French heavyweights Lyon. With Lyon having won their home leg 1-0; this tie is delicately poised and sits right about on a knife-edge.
