Real Madrid looks to end Champions League jinx
Spanish giant Real Madrid looks to end its Champions League last-16 jinx when Lyon visits the Santiago Bernabeu while defending champion Inter Milan will hope Bayern Munich has peaked too early ahead of their second leg in Germany.
Madrid, a nine-time European champion, hasn’t qualified for the quarterfinals since 2004 but Jose Mourinho’s side is on course to halt that unwanted streak on Wednesday after drawing 1-1 in Lyon in the first leg.
Inter, the club Mourinho led to Champions League glory last year, is in a much more difficult position following a 1-0 loss to Bayern at home three weeks ago.
