Of all the four quarter-final games played last week, none featured more than two goals.
Evidently, all four games were keenly contested as a semi-final place is at stake. The first leg has come and has gone. All is left to play for in the return legs which takes place this week.
Manchester City, Barcelona, Juventus and FC Porto will be the home teams this time around. And they will be looking to replicate the trend from the first leg: No home team lost in the 1st leg of the quarter-final games.
Let’s take a look at these games.
