You never know what surprises the Champions League has in store, and on Tuesday, we have two second-leg matches ahead of us, both with the potential for historic comebacks.
Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will face off for the third consecutive week, but this time the circumstances are quite different, and the stakes are enormous. In the other quarter-final, we’ll see Liverpool looking to stage a comeback against PSG, who crushed them in the first leg.

Today’s Champions League betting tips & predictions
Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona (8pm)
Few people expected Atletico to be leading by two goals after the first leg, but the early red card changed the course of the match and helped Los Colchoneros secure the win.
Although their form is far from optimal, given their four losses in the last five matches, Atletico Madrid remain extremely difficult to beat at the Metropolitano. Barcelona will certainly be the more active team and will score a goal, but the hosts have proven they can be explosive at the right moments.
We expect to see goals at both ends this time around, and we don’t recommend betting on Barcelona, as Atletico already beat them at this stadium two months ago. But given the pressure we expect from Barca, we can also expect plenty of corners in their favour.

Liverpool vs. PSG (8pm)
It had been a long time since we’d seen such dominance against Liverpool as we saw from PSG in the first leg. We could even say that the Reds were lucky to lose by only two goals. Liverpool had a total of three shots over 90 minutes, none on target, 26% possession, and just 0.17 xG.
Still, Anfield is a very tough place to play, and it’s entirely possible they could shock the world with another historic comeback. But PSG are in phenomenal form, having just destroyed Chelsea a month ago with 3-0 and 5-2 wins in the two legs.
Liverpool have lost three of their last four matches, and unfortunately, we expect them to lose this one as well. PSG are in top form and certainly won’t sit back to protect the lead.
