Demand for these match tickets is already high, with some first-leg matches selling out their allocations via official channels.

This is where top resale websites like LocoTickets come in, as you can still get some very good deals on both the first leg and second leg matches.

In this article, we discuss the matches and pick out the standout fixtures that you should buy tickets for if you want to enjoy quarterfinal fixtures.

Quarter-Final Fixtures and Mini Previews

Sporting CP vs Arsenal

Arsenal has not won a European trophy since 1994 and has been trolled for not winning the Champions League for ages. This seems to be their chance, and they want to win the treble (alongside the EPL and FA Cup). Sporting ended Bodo/Glimt’s journey with a stunning second-leg 5-0 win in Portugal, so Arsenal’s travel to Lisbon for the first game would be tricky.

Best Tickets: Second leg at Emirates because Arsenal's title-chasing form and home crowd will make it electric. The first leg offers value to neutral fans seeking an experience of the impressive Portuguese football passion.

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich

This clash brings together two of the favourites to win the competition this season, and there is so much history between these clubs.

Most people see Bayern as favourites, which means the first leg in Madrid will be a classic, as we expect the Spanish side to do its best to avoid a defeat, knowing that Bayern will almost certainly win their home clash.

Best Tickets: First leg at Bernabéu. This game will offer unmatched prestige and history. The second leg offers high-stakes drama, especially if the aggregate score is close after the first leg.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Liverpool

PSG knocked Liverpool out at the round of 16 stage last season, and the Ligue 1 giants seem to have improved. Liverpool is worse than they were last term, when they won the league crown.

PSG obliterated Chelsea in the last round of the competition, and Liverpool will not want to be embarrassed that way, making this game a very exciting one to watch.

Best Tickets: Second leg at Anfield. Liverpool’s home offers an iconic European atmosphere, and Liverpool might be attempting a comeback depending on how the first leg ends. 

Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid

Barcelona gets an early chance to avenge their defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Spanish club semifinal, and we expect them to take this chance well.

It is a Spanish derby in Europe, and it is a chance for one of these clubs to show that they are better than their rival.

Best Tickets: Second leg at Metropolitano. This stadium offers the most intense, intimidating atmosphere for any away team, and Barca felt it when they lost 4-0 in the Spanish Cup semifinal first leg.

Why are second legs always the best matches to watch

The second legs typically deliver higher drama, with the aggregate scores creating a "must-win" scenario for several of the teams in that leg of the tie. Anfield, Allianz Arena, Metropolitano, and Emirates second legs are prime for epic comebacks or celebrations.
