Arne Slot

Hello Rank Squad! It's the first Champions League Takeaway of the week, looking back at Tuesday's action from the Second Legs of the Quarter Finals - where both Atletico Madrid and PSG booked their spots in the semis, albeit in very different ways. We start at the Metropolitano, where Barcelona won 2-1 on the night but Atletico held off the storm to qualify 3-2 on aggregate. In one of the great first halves we've seen this season, Barça stormed into a 2-0 lead to tie the match on aggregate, but an Ademola Lookman goal just before the break handed Atleti back the advantage - one which they held onto over the second 45 to make it to the final four for the first time since 2017. In Part Two we head to Anfield, where just as in the first leg, PSG ran out as 2-0 winners over Liverpool to make it a 4-0 aggregate scoreline - but this was a very different encounter to the first leg. The Reds, backed by a raucous Anfield, came out of Arne Slot's self-proclaimed 'Survival Mode' to give the reigning champions a game - something that very much wasn't the case in the first leg. PSG however, march on, clinical in killing the game and defensively steely - this looks far more akin to the side that conquered the continent last time out. Could they do it again? It's Ranks!
