Champions League Wednesday: Key Matchups to Watch
It's Wednesday, which means Champions League football! We've got a stacked slate of matches, and we're here to break down some of the key matchups you won't want to miss.
Real Madrid vs. Chelsea: A rematch of last season's quarter-finals, this one has all the makings of a classic. Real Madrid are still the kings of Europe, while Chelsea are looking to make a statement under their new manager. The Blues will need to find a way to contain Karim Benzema, who's been on fire this season. If they can keep him quiet, they'll have a real chance of getting a result at the Bernabéu.
Liverpool vs. Benfica: The Reds are looking to continue their dominant form in Europe, and they'll face a tough test against a resurgent Benfica side. Benfica have surprised everyone in the competition so far, but they'll need to be at their absolute best to get anything out of Anfield. Liverpool's attacking trio of Salah, Mané, and Jota are a nightmare for any defense, so Benfica will need to be extremely disciplined defensively.
Manchester City vs. Atlético Madrid: This is a clash of styles, with Manchester City's free-flowing football going up against Atlético Madrid's stubborn defense. Atlético will be looking to frustrate City and hit them on the counterattack. It's a tough game to call, but City's quality should ultimately see them through.
These are just a few of the exciting matchups we're looking forward to on Wednesday. Get ready for a night of Champions League drama! Who are you backing? Let us know in the comments below.
