Former footballer Richards, as part of CBS’ coverage, predicted the semi-finalists of the UEFA Champions League before the first-leg ties. The completion of the four quarter-final matches occurred on Wednesday night, but the outcomes of both Tuesday and Wednesday may have disappointed Richards. Atletico lost their second leg to Dortmund, resulting in Dortmund’s progression to the semi-finals with a 5-4 aggregate win. Barcelona fell apart at home to PSG, resulting in a 6-4 aggregate win for PSG.

Arsenal lost 1-0 in their second leg to Bayern, crashing out 3-2 on aggregate, and City lost on penalties to Madrid. The manager expressed his sadness and disappointment at the final result of the match and acknowledged the small margins that influenced the outcome. He praised Real Madrid for their defensive display and insisted that his team had given their all. He acknowledged that they had played exceptionally in all departments but unfortunately could not secure a win.
