Yes, we’re into the thick of it now, but only two Premier League teams are still in the race for the European Cup after four were bounced in the last 16. Those teams are Arsenal and Liverpool, and they can’t meet until the final on May 31 in Budapest, Hungary.
Chelsea were thrashed and hammered by defending champs PSG, 8-2. Manchester City were battered by Real Madrid, 5-1. Newcastle kept Barcelona close for 135 minutes, but the tie ended 8-3 at Camp Nou. Interestingly enough, Tottenham Hotspur’s two-goal defeat (7-5) to Atletico Madrid was the most respectable scoreline of the lot.
