Full Wednesday with league day, Champions League and even Tottenham Wolfsberger of the Europa League. The defeat of Atleti on Tuesday in the first leg against Chelsea leaves a bleak outlook for the Spanish teams, who could be left without representation in the quarterfinals for the first time since 2004-05. If Madrid or any comeback from Barça, Sevilla or the rojiblancos does not remedy it. Mourinho's game is a mere formality, since in the first leg they won 1-4, so it will simply serve to see if the Portuguese rotates or uses the match as a balm against league wounds. At 6:00 p.m. (Movistar Champions League) we will have doubts.
The league
Barcelona-Elche: 7:00 p.m., Movistar LaLiga
The first meeting of the three loudest is the postponed clash of the first league match between Barça and Elche. The people of Elche, with two games to play, have left the relegation places at one point and the arrival of Escribá seems to have revitalized them. Nevertheless, the Blaugrana team cannot afford any puncture. Less after having lost two points in extremis and at home against Cádiz on the last day. Before the double duel against Sevilla (on Saturday in the League and Tuesday the Cup return), Koeman's men will seek to regain their step in domestic competition before it is too late.
Champions League
Atalanta-Real Madrid: 9:00 p.m., Movistar Champions League
Save the honor of Spanish football. That is the priority objective for Real Madrid, after PSG, Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea have gored Barça, Sevilla and Atleti, respectively. For it, Zidane will once again have a minimum team with an unexpected absence just a week ago: Karim Benzema. The Frenchman fell at the last minute of the league clash against Valladolid. However, the whites solved it and their four-game winning streak pitted against one of Europe's most fanged teams, Gasperini's DEA. Those from Bergamo score more than three goals in almost half of the games. Lucas Vázquez, Varane, Nacho and Mendy will try to help Courtois wet the Italian gunpowder.
Borussia Mönchengladbach-Manchester City: 9:00 p.m., Movistar Champions League
The City does not want surprises. Guardiola's men arrive at this round of 16 fully launched. 18 victories in a row are the baggage accumulated by the citizens. A streak that a Gladbach must put to the test in the middle of an institutional earthquake. The already announced march of Marco Rose to Dortmund at the end of the course has altered the waters at Borussia Park perhaps at the worst moment. The biggest threat they will face will be a gung-ho Gundogan who knows them well from their time in the Bundesliga. The streak they have in the league, where they march in the eighth, doesn't help either. Although we must not forget that they left Inter in the gutter in the group stage …
