Four more games for four more positions as Champions League action returns for another dose of drama.
This year’s final hosts, Atlético Madrid, travel to Turin, Italy, on Tuesday to take on the Old Lady of Juventus with a two-goal advantage.
Atlético will be without Diego Costa and Thomas Partey, while Juventus lose Alex Sandro, all due to suspension. On the injury front, Los Colchoneros will be feeling the pain of their 40th injury this season after Filipe Luís limped off last weekend. The Biconarri will be hoping Cristiano Ronaldo, Douglas Costa’s niggles and muscle strains, as well as Sami Khedira’s heart problem, will be resolved in time.
Even though Schalke are still fighting relegation, their cup aspirations are still alive with a German Cup quarterfinal clash next month. But with six losses in their last six visits to England and with only one win against City in 1970, Schalke have a mountain to climb.
