The quarter finals of the Champions League continue on Tuesday as we preview the Argentine players.

At least one Argentine will be eliminated today as Paulo DYBALA’s bring their 1-1 away goal advantage to Turin against Ajax. DYBALA, who didn’t have the best of matches on the weekend, will look to try and redeem himself.

Nicolas TAGLIAFICO and Lisandro MAGALLAN will want to eliminate another European giant after having knocked out Real Madrid in the previous round.

Lionel MESSI and FC Barcelona take a 1-0 advantage away from Old Trafford over to the Camp Nou. MESSI assisted the only goal of the match in Manchester while Marcos ROJO and Sergio ROMERO did not take part in the match.

The remaining two matches take place on Wednesday as Mauricio POCHETTINO’s men have a 1-0 lead going into Manchester. Sergio AGUERO and Nicolas OTAMENDI will look to turn it around and make the semi-finals.

Porto against Liverpool is the other match on Wednesday with no Argentine representatives.

Giovani LO CELSO and Franco VAZQUEZ score for Real Betis, Sevilla

Giovani LO CELSO and Franco VAZQUEZ both scored for their respective clubs in Sevilla’s 3-2 win against Real Betis.

With Sevilla leading 1-0, it was LO CELSO who scored the first goal for Real Betis. The goal was number 15 of the season for LO CELSO in all competitions and number 8 in La Liga. However, that goal was short lived.

Sevilla would take the lead once more and just four minutes after that, it would be Franco VAZQUEZ with a goal. A great goal from outside of the penalty area. Betis would pull one back through Cristian TELLO but it wouldn’t be enough.

The Inter hitman commented on the Argentina national team, Lionel MESSI and being left out of the World Cup team by Jorge SAMPAOLI. Here’s what he had to say:

“I try to give my best for Inter so that when the Argentina coach gives out his list, my name is there. I’m proud to wear this shirt and to be called-up. I work every day for that.

“You have to prepare, be attentive, to give the best possible and after that it’s the coach’s decision. I have always respected that and will continue to respect it.”

Lautaro MARTINEZ also spoke about playing alongside Lionel MESSI:

“I try to enjoy MESSI and to learn. We have him next to us and he will make all of us grow.”

About being left out of the World Cup team:

“With SAMPAOLI, there were things that I didn’t like. I was happy to be in the list of 35 and it was painful to be left out of the World Cup but I still supported as a fan.”
