The challenge of winning the UEFA Champions League never comes easy, and it becomes all the more difficult with key injuries and suspensions. At this stage, in a season with a congested schedule and trying logistical issues, all teams are dealing with players who cannot feature this week. Be it Robert Lewandowski for Bayern Munich or Jadon Sancho for Dortmund, depth will continue to be tested with four quarterfinal games this week, with two on Tuesday and two more on Wednesday. You can catch all the action on Paramount+.
