00:00Which team amongst the Champions League quarter-finalists needs to win it the most?
00:03Let's rank all eight teams left.
00:05Number eight, Sporting Lisbon.
00:06Them winning it would be by far the most historic and impressive,
00:09but they will not lose sleep if they bow out against Arsenal.
00:12Seven, PSG.
00:13Last season, they would have been top,
00:15but having completed football last season,
00:17the reigning champions have some leeway here.
00:19Number six, Liverpool.
00:20They, and specifically Arnaud Slott,
00:22have a lot to gain from winning the Champions League after a disappointing season,
00:25but the core of this dynasty have already won it once,
00:28and there is little expectation they will beat an elite European team.
00:31Number five, Atletico Madrid.
00:32This is the missing jewel in the Simeone crown.
00:35There is a level of realism about their overall chances though,
00:37but two finals lost in the 2010s will still sting.
00:40Number four, Arsenal.
00:41The Premier League is what makes or breaks Arsenal's season.
00:44They certainly need to win this at some point,
00:46and this represents a good opportunity,
00:47but not winning this competition doesn't represent a failure
00:50in the same way it does for some of the others,
00:53such as number three, Barcelona.
00:55They haven't won it since 2015,
00:56an unacceptable stat for a club and team of their stature.
01:00Number two, Bayern Munich.
01:01If they don't go the distance,
01:02neutrals will continue to question just how good this team actually is.
01:07Kane needs it for his legacy to stand the test of time,
01:10and honestly, the Bundesliga as a whole needs it to shake the Farmers League tag.
01:14Number one, Real Madrid.
01:15They could arguably be top of this list every year,
01:17but the fact that Barca have such a stronghold on the league
01:20means that Los Blancos have to assert their dominance in Europe.
01:23Anything but Europe's biggest trophy is a failure for Real Madrid.
