With great absentees the quarterfinals of the Champions League begin.

Liverpool (the current champion), Real Madrid and Youth are the great absentees who will not be in the final part of the 2020 Champions League to be played in Lisbon (Portugal).

If in the group turn the Champions had revealed the first surprise with the elimination of the current champion Liverpool, in the post-pandemic coronavirus COVID-19 resumption the surprises continued. And on a large scale.

Juventus eliminated by Olympique Lyonnais and Real Madrid eliminated by Manchester City will be the great absentees in Lisbon.

Real Madrid could not come back against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and Juventus, with a goal-scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, was not enough to get Olympique Lyonnais out. What the immediate exoneration cost his coach Sarri.

Two errors by Varane doomed Real Madrid.

In Manchester, City beat Madrid 2-1, with goals from Raheem Sterling, at 8 minutes, in the first half and Gabriel Jesús, at 23 minutes.

The Frenchman Karim Benzema, at 27 from the start, had marked the equality for "Merengue", who could not turn the result of the first leg, where Pep Guardiola's team had won by 2 to 1.

The note of the day was given by French defender Raphael Varane, who tried to give two passes to his goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, but first Sterling and then Gabriel Jesús anticipated, guessed the play and ended up scoring their goals.

In the white defense, captain Sergio Ramos was not from the game, because he had been sent off in the first leg.

In Guardiola's "citizen" Sergio Agüero did not play, who is recovering from an injury and hope to have him for the quarterfinals against Lyon. At the end of the meeting, Nicolás Otamendi entered instead of the Spanish Rodri.

Cristiano Ronaldo could not, almost alone.

Juventus was once again left out of the continental tournament, despite the fact that it had its best man in Cristiano Ronaldo and beat Lyon of France 2 to 1, who had beaten 1 to 0 in the first leg.

The Portuguese was preponderant in the Italian team's game, but the recent champion - for the ninth time - of the Italian League, was surprised by the goal of the visit, which forced him to score three goals to stretch the definition in the extra time.

The French team took the lead with a penalty from Memphis Depay, at 12 in the first half, but Cristiano turned it at 42, from a penalty, in that same period, and at 14 in the complement.

In the "Vecchia Signora" Gonzalo Higuaín played as a starter and then Paulo Dybala entered, who only lasted 14 minutes on the field of play, since he suffered from his injury and had to leave the field.

Liverpool eliminated by Atletico de Madrid.

Atlético had eliminated Liverpool in the Champions League before the tournament was suspended.

In an epic duel at Anfield Road, Simeone's Atlético de Madrid had achieved before the suspension of the tournament due to the coronavirus pandemic a feat that seemed unlikely: to eliminate the current champion and favorite for the title, Klopp's Liverpool at home.

Thanks to Jan Oblak's saves and Marcos Llorente's two goals in extra time (97 and 105 + 1), the colchonero team had advanced to the round of 16 last March.
