Finalmente, luego de
varios meses de incertidumbre, quedaron seleccionados los mejores equipos del
continente.
Ofreciendo cuatro
cruces más que suculentos para lo que significó la reanudación oficial de las
actividades en la competencia, la Champions League finalmente conoció a sus
ocho mejores equipos este sábado por la tarde luego de la culminación de los
cruces Barcelona - Napoli y Bayern Munich - Chelsea.
Atalanta vs.
PSG
Uno de los dos
cruces que había quedado confirmado antes de lo que significó la suspensión
provisoria del futbol en todo el planeta a causa del coronavirus. En unas series
más que frenéticas, mientras que el conjunto de la Serie A eliminó al Valencia
a principios de marzo, el de la Ligue 1 hizo lo propio con el Borussia Dortmund
para sacar pasaje a los octavos de final.
Leipzig vs.
Atlético Madrid
La historia fue
exactamente igual para el equipo alemán y el español: antes de lo que significó
el parate provisorio del futbol por un extenso puñado de meses, ambas
instituciones resolvieron sus correspondientes series para acceder a los
cuartos de final del torneo. Mientras que el elenco de la Bundesliga superó sin
muchas complicaciones al Tottenham, el de la Liga Española se dio el privilegio
de dejar en el camino a nada más ni nada menos que el Liverpool.
Manchester City vs. Olympique de Lyon
Así como algunos
elencos definieron sus series en la antesala de la esporádica e inesperada
decisión de suspender el futbol, otras se vieron forzadas a aguardar para
resolver sus correspondientes cruces. Mientras que el conjunto de la Premier
League cerró con creces su pleito ante Real Madrid sacándolo de la competencia,
el de Francia hizo lo propio el pasado viernes y eliminó de la Champions a la
Juventus.
Barcelona vs.
Bayern Munich
Este sábado, en
consecuencia, se terminaron de conocer a los últimos dos equipos que sacaron
pasaje para la siguiente instancia de la competencia más importante de toda
Europa. Dejando en el camino a sus correspondientes rivales, Barcelona y Bayern
Munich se medirán el próximo viernes 14 de agosto. El equipo que resulte
ganador de dicho cruce, lógicamente, se clasificará a las semifinales del
torneo.
