The FC Barcelona did not fail to his appointment with the chambers of Champions and surpassed to the Olympique of Lyon by 5-1 in a crash that by moments seemed that it went him to complicate, but that finally won of simple way. The ones of Ernesto Valverde were a lot of better in the first part and played a quite complete party to confirm his pass to the following round.
With this classification, the Barça turns into the only Spanish representative with life in the present edition of the League of Champions. The Barcelona team will be the only club of LaLiga Santander in the draw of the Friday after the elimination of the Real Madrid against the Ajax and the one of the Athletic of Madrid against the Juventus of Turín.
From it did six years, the Spanish League always had had three groups in the quarter-finals, with what this campaign breaks this hegemony that had marked to the Champions lately. The league that now has taken this witness seems to be the Premier League. In fourth will have until four English groups: Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United and Manchester City.
The British league has achieved to put to his four groups in these chambers and has a lot of possibilities that any of these four clubs can arrive to the final of Wanda Metropolitan. The City is definitely the more in shape of the four and one of which more in shape is of Europe. The ones of Guardiola are one of the favourites and the Barcelona will have luck if it achieves to avoid it until a hypothetical semifinal or even final.
It is the third time in all the history that the Premier achieves to put to his four teams in the chambers. Already it achieved it the seasons 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. In the 07-08 arrived the Arsenal, Chelsea, the Manchester United and the Liverpool, and 'blues' and 'network devils' finished arriving to the final in which it would win in the batch of penaltis the team led by that then by Cristiano Ronaldo. In the 08-09 the Champions carried it to him the Barça against the United in the final, and in fourth the English put to the own Manchester, to the Liverpool, to the Arsenal and to Chelsea.
Any German survivor after the fiasco of the Bayern
The elimination of the Bayern of Munich to hands of the Liverpool has left to the Bundesliga without any representative of his country for the first time from the campaign 2005-2006. The Germans are being very irregular this course and confirmed it falling in his own stadium by 1-3 in front of the Liverpool of Jürgen Klopp.
