UEFA CL, QF return leg, 16-17 April 2019

16 April 2019

FC Barcelona vs. Manchester United

It seems a while that the Red Devils have played an international tie of such magnitude, the last one most probably being the 2017 Europa League Final in Stockholm, where they beat Ajax Amsterdam for the title. No surprise that many aircraft will be required to get all the spectators down to Barcelona:

Juventus Turin vs. Ajax Amsterdam

Ajax is traveling to the Italian giants in the hope that the 1-1 draw in the first leg is still a base to work from. They will have their work cut out against Cristiano Ronaldo and his colleagues in Turin though:

Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur FC

It was a great duel between the two English sides - and as is quite often the case, Spurs covered the relatively short distance between London and Manchester by plane, using a JOTA Aviation BAe 146 for the trip from Stansted to Manchester and back:

Liverpool FC vs. FC Porto

Jurgen Klopp's side went as far as the final last season and is giving it another good go this time. They have eliminated the big FC Bayern München and are now looking to take a Portuguese scalp in FC Porto:

Sergio Ramos will not be there for the return leg after his yellow card saga, but if reputation is only a guide to go with, nothing should go wrong for the defending champions here.

While Liverpool seems to be on a good run domestically, Bayern has been strangely struggling this season. The latter won their Champions League convincingly however, while Liverpool has had to fight a bit more against PSG, Red Star Belgrade and Napoli:

AS Roma vs. FC Porto

The Portuguese club travels to what was last years conquerors of no more than the might FC Barcelona. Porto prevailed from a group that contained Schalke 04 from Germany, Galatasaray from Turkey and Lokomotiv Moscow, the Russian champions. Hosts Roma finished in second position behind Real Madrid, which is no shame and beat Viktoria Plzen and CSKA to qualify for the round of 16.

Manchester United vs. Paris St-Germain

After the well-publicised departure of one José Mourinho, Man United has found some form again. Caretaker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still undefeated and will surely be looking to defeat PSG too. ManU found themselves in a pool with Juventus, Valencia and Swiss champions Young Boys, where they finished second behind Juve. On the other hand, PSG finished on top of a tight group against Liverpool, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade.

While the Italian public was obviously snubbed once again, at least there were some fancy travel options to be seen, with Boeing 767-300/ER ZS-NEX for Juventus and Airbus A340-300 9H-BIG for Milan:
