After the first leg ended I thought Arsenal and Barcelona had already put one step into the semifinals. On the other hand PSG also had a big advantage after leading 2 goals over Aston Villa. I think only the match between Munich and Inter Milan is still being debated about who will advance to the semifinals. Munich lost 1-2 in that match but they still have a big chance to turn things around. And for Real Madrid I think they are really in a pretty tough situation. I always believe in Real Madrid's mentality and they can always overcome the tough situations they face in the UCL. But throughout the history of the UCL as far as I can remember there have only been 4 teams that have been able to make a comeback after being 3 goals behind in the first leg. At first I thought this was not a tough mission for Real Madrid. But the injuries to several key players and the red card received by Camavinga made this mission very impossible.
The red card Camavinga received seems to really bother Real Madrid. Because Camavinga was one of the good players in the midfield and his absence will be felt a lot. Real Madrid is one of the few teams in the world that can turn around this score. Therefore, they still have a small chance, but to be honest, Arsenal will want to protect the victory and the score advantage by doing Park the Bus. In my opinion, we can say that Barcelona and Arsenal are 90% advanced to the next round. Also, Paris Saint-Germain did not score two goals, they scored another goal in the last minutes and won by three goals. Therefore, their job is easier in England. Only Inter achieved a slightly risky match result, but they also have the home field advantage.
