The quarterfinal stage of the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League kicks off this week, promising a slate of thrilling matchups as Europe's biggest clubs battle for supremacy.
Titleholders Real Madrid are back to defend their crown, but they’ll face stiff resistance with the continent's heavyweights all eyeing the throne. Canadian fans can expect high drama and world-class football as the road to European glory reaches its most intense phase.
For Arsenal, Europe now represents their best shot at silverware. With Premier League leaders Liverpool well out of reach and their FA Cup hopes already extinguished, Mikel Arteta's side will look to pour everything into their Champions League campaign. The Gunners gear up for just their third-ever clash with Real Madrid in what could define their season.
Elsewhere, Bayern Munich—fueled by a red-hot Harry Kane—pose a formidable challenge for anyone. But Inter Milan, the current pacesetters in Serie A, won't be easily intimidated and will arrive with confidence and momentum.
Wednesday brings two more blockbuster ties. Borussia Dortmund travel to face a high-flying Barcelona side under Hansi Flick, while Aston Villa's remarkable European journey continues in Paris.
Unai Emery's squad faces their toughest test yet against a rejuvenated PSG, who are thriving under Luis Enrique despite saying goodbye to superstars Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
