Barcelona face another uphill task as they try to overturn a 3-0 first leg defeat. While Monaco look to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League for the second time since 2003.

Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus hold a comfortable 3-0 lead over five time Champions League winners Barcelona, after Paulo Dybala stole the show scoring two in the first half in Turin.

Monaco in contrast had a less comfortable match in Dortmund, missing a first half penalty, and conceding twice in a 3-2 win, marred by the home side having encountered a bomb attack on their bus only 24 hours earlier.

Kylian Mbappe stroke twice, to become highest scoring teenager in Champions League knockout stages. Fellow youngest Ousmane Dembele replied soon after half time for the hosts and Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa scored three minutes from time to tighten the score line.

But Barcelona have already produced one miracle this season, overcoming a 4-0 first leg defeat to PSG in the previous round, while Dortmund are the top scorers in this year’s Champions League.

 

Monaco vs Borussia Dortmund

5– All five previous teams winning 3-2 away from home in the first leg of their Champions League knockout tie have progressed to the next round.

4– Monaco have won four of their last five home games against German opposition (D1), in all competitions. In fact, their only defeat on home soil versus a team from Germany was against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the UEFA Cup back in October 1996 (0-1).

8– Borussia Dortmund have lost eight of their last 11 games in the Champions League knockout stages (W3).

27– Dortmund are the top scorers in this season’s Champions League (27 goals in nine games), with 30% of them coming in the final 15 minutes (8). In fact, Dortmund’s games have produced more goals than any other team (40 – 27 for & 13 against).

15– Monaco have conceded 15 goals in the Champions League this season, more than any other team among the remaining quarter-finalists.

 

Barcelona vs Juventus

0-    No team has ever overturned a 3-0 first-leg defeat in the Champions League knockout stages in the eight previous attempts, although Barcelona managed the biggest ever comeback in the last round by eliminating Paris SG 6-5 on aggregate after a 4-0 first leg defeat.

15– Barcelona have won their last 15 Champions League games at the Camp Nou (50 goals scored, 7 conceded), all since Luis Enrique took charge. It’s currently the longest run in the competition and two short of the record held by Bayern Munich (16).

5– Juventus have won their last five games in the Champions League, the current longest run in the competition and the Old Lady’s joint-longest. They are the only unbeaten team this season alongside Real Madrid.

4– Neymar has scored four goals and delivered five assists in his three Champions League games at Camp Nou this season.

10– Barcelona have reached the quarter-finals for the 10^th consecutive season, the longest run in the history of the Champions League. However, they have been knocked out at that stage in two of the last three seasons.
