Juventus and PSG prepare for crucial Champions League knockout matches, featuring top scorers and exciting matchups.

The UEFA Champions League knockout phase is heating up as teams prepare for crucial matchups. Key fixtures include Brest vs. Paris Saint-Germain, where Brest, currently struggling at 18th in the league, aims to build on their recent form despite a tough loss to PSG earlier in Ligue 1. Paris, buoyed by a stunning 5-2 victory featuring Ousmane Dembélé`s hat-trick, enters the match with confidence.

Juventus faces PSV Eindhoven in another pivotal clash. After a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Benfica, Juventus is eager to bounce back and assert their dominance. PSV, however, is riding high after a remarkable 3-2 victory over Liverpool, ending their perfect record and showcasing their growth since their earlier loss to Juventus.

In a highly anticipated rematch, Manchester City will take on Real Madrid. This matchup has historically been significant, with the winner often going on to claim the Champions League title. Both teams have had inconsistent league campaigns but are expected to deliver a high-quality performance. Real Madrid`s impressive record of eliminating English clubs adds an intriguing layer to this encounter.

Sporting CP will clash with Borussia Dortmund, with Sporting looking to maintain their competitive edge after securing their knockout phase spot with a 1-1 draw against Bologna. Dortmund, now under the guidance of new coach Niko Kovač, is determined to make a strong impression in this prestigious tournament.

As the knockout phase unfolds, the top scorers in the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League include Serhou Guirassy of Borussia Dortmund and Robert Lewandowski of Barcelona, both netting nine goals.
