0/6 in the Premier League in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16

The Premier League faced the round of 16 of the Champions League with six teams, something unprecedented that speaks of the strength of the English league. However, none of the six have managed to win in the first leg, with a balance of two draws (Newcastle y Arsenal) and four defeats (Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea), three of them by three goals difference.

The Premier continues to lead the ranking and the fifth placed team will go to the next Champions League, but in the first leg of the round of 16 they have had a reality check. Logic invites us to think that Liverpool will come back against the Galatasaray and that Arsenal resolve their tie at home against the Leverkusenbut even those teams have work to do in the second leg.

Newcastle faces the second leg in the Camp Nouwhile Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City are forced to come back from three goals in their respective stadiums. Can you imagine a quarterfinal without English teams? It seems unlikely, but the truth is that After the first legs, none of the six are ahead in the tie.

Triple confrontation LaLiga vs Premier

The round of 16 has left a triple confrontation between LaLiga and the Premier League. Atlético and Real Madrid won 5-2 and 3-0 against Tottenham and Manchester City, while Barcelona drew (1-1) at the Newcastle stadium. Spanish football continues dreaming of a full quarter-final victory…although we will have to suffer next week.
