Diego Simeone will try his best for his club to draw tie with Inter Milan and probably win but it'd all in words, let him put in the actions. Simeone Inzaghi have made plans for his victories in matches and aiming to reach the final again and this time, it wouldn't be just a final but a top one. Atletico madrid messed up in the first leg against Inter Milan, currently the top clubs comes with decisive points but trembled upon the feet of the Italian side. Diego Simeone must into the weaknesses of his team because everything is falling off balance.


Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid is always dangerous.  Smiley  They couldn't show a good performance in the first leg. I assume that nobody would deny that. Simeone was okay to get even a draw to go more attacking in the second leg. But Inter still got what they wanted from the match by one goal.

Inter have a good advantage in their hands now. But there is still a really tough match waiting for them. Inzaghi rested Lautaro and had some starting eleven players on the pitch for 60 minutes in the Bologna match. I think Inter will fight really strongly in Spain as well to advance to quarter finals.  Smiley  I like them more in terms of defending and attacking now.

Yes indeed, I also admit that Atletico are a strong team and cannot be underestimated at all but unfortunately, lately Atletico have had performance instability so that these results also have a bad impact on Atletico at this moment. With such an unstable performance then yes, although in the second leg Atletico will play at home, but it still seems not easy for Atletico to turn things around. Because of course, Inter also have a good ability to maintain the 1-0 aggregate victory they have. Although of course, every coach and team always has a great effort he makes to win but I think, considering the situation and condition of Atletico at this moment it seems that I personally think I will still doubt it and I put my trust in Inter to qualify for the quarter-finals.

They are dangerous, correct, but this is definitely not the Atletico Madrid from five years ago. They have always been infamous for their amazing defense, but that's quite some time ago. It doesn't mean there would be any good reason to not take them as seriously as in the past, but still I would be shocked if they were to beat Inter Milan. On that level it is of course possible that they have a good run in their game at home and score first, but if that doesn't happen, I think Inter Milan is one level too high and too clever and strategically too strong to still give this away.

I know it could turn into one of these ugly games that Diego Simeone loves so much, but Inter Milan can be quite ugly as well if needed. They know how to play this game. But yes I can only recommend everyone to get ear plugs for this one as well as Simeone will scream the hell out of his body! Cheesy He is probably the only one who can compete with Jurgen Klopp when he is freaking out. I would love to see both of these coaches one day make their most aggressive faces and stand head to head, I think everyone knows what that means. Cheesy

Napoli couldn't secure a winning score against Blaugrana in the first leg and its pure motivation for Barcelona to fight back in the second leg. Barcelona will hosts Napoli in the second leg of round of 16, an important game that deserves the big winning from the exact club that clinched on winning form. Nobody gets a clear view except for clubs that have fought really hard to enter significant phase in the UEFA Champions League. Xavi Hernandez will ensure everything works smoothly as plan for his side because he already missed out on the La Liga title race but the UEFA Champions League will be intact for them this season.
Both Barcelona and Napoli are struggling, performance-wise. Their underperformance makes this match more uncertain. Barcelona has been inconsistent this season, especially against clubs they should have easily defeated. Inconsistency could be their downfall or incentive to prove everyone wrong. Barcelona's difficulties against smaller clubs in La Liga may be the motivator they need to beat Napoli.

Conversely, Napoli's key players arent performing as expected. This match is Barcelona's to lose due to their home advantage and need to recover from La Liga. Football is unpredictable, so Napoli may get the break they need. I believe a tough encounter could end in a tie. Barcelona must fix their inconsistencies to win and advance in the Champions League.

Arsenal will undoubtedly receive relatively low odds because their next game will be played at home and we know the reputation of emirate stadium this season. it's always becoming the house of dead to the other clubs. Arsenal has always performed well at home, so it makes sense that bookmakers would offer very low odds for Arsenal. Porto will face a major test to determine its status in UCL. Arsenal was always playing crazily at home by scoring as many goals as possible. It's obvious that Arsenal will win the game soon, but Porto still has a slight chance as long as porto keep plays defensively. Porto will probably win as long as the game ends in a draw. The main requirement is for the club to utilize a parking bus strategy against Arsenal. I don't mind if porto played so passively in this match as long as it will win the game or draw.


This will also have a significant impact on Arsenal's performance because scoring will be more difficult, causing them to panic even more. Betting in Porto involves a high risk of losing your bet. I'd rather bet on a total of over 2.75 or BTTS.
It is likely that Porto will be able to defeat Arsenal, but it all depends on the strategy that will be used in the upcoming game against Arsenal. I will call porto a a stupid club if it's putting the big risk by playing offensively against arsenal.
Arsenal is capable enough to destroy it with huge margins. Put all players into the penalty box and it will help club a lot.

Arsenal is scheduled to host Porto in the 2nd leg of the UCL Round of 16 in few days at the Emirates. Arsenal who on aggregate are currently behind after losing the first leg with a last minute goal will be going into this match with much confidence to reverse the score and get the qualification. Arsenal team are on fore currently from the matches we’ve seen the club play after that defeat and how massive they’ve been scoring and playing as a team. This brings us to know where they’ll be garnering confidence for this fixture

 Their current form and momentum is one of the major reasons why Arsenal should be favored to defeat Porto. They have dominantly won their last 7 games since mid season break and they’ve scored whooping 31 goals which is massive and worthy of recognition. Now they are have been handed a major boost which brings them to sit top of the EPL table with the win against Brentford over the weekend. Arsenal have a better squad depth as compared to Porto and most of their players returning from injury is a major boost as this would cause lots of worry for Porto.

Arteta is a tactical genius and you can’t doubt he’s got the acumen to be able to build up a tactics to explore on Porto’s weaknesses with his boy’s strength. The major confidence is them playing at the Emirate, the joy of playing infront of their devoted fans and at a familiar ground will be the biggest boost that they can sure overturn this aggregate score. The fans presence will give an extra dose of inspiration, and confidence as they face Porto. Porto are in for a big game and I’m sure Arsenal will feast on them properly so if I’m to place my money on this game, I think I’m confident of Arsenal having up to 3 goals in this match.

That's what I want to see where Barcelona gives Napoli a crushing blow. At home, at least Barcelona can control the game more freely, for Napoli I don't think they want to lose easily. In terms of strength, it can now be said to be equal, but in terms of creating opportunities for young players, Barcelona is definitely superior. What I see from Barcelona's attack line is that they only need Lewandowski and Yamal in on-fire condition because Napoli only has 1 mainstay, namely Osimhen, no one else.
However, the problem is that Barcelona's problems have not ended after two key players were left behind due to injury and perhaps their midfield was not strong enough to handle the ball. The absence of De Jong and Pedri will make quite a significant difference and looking at previous matches in the domestic league they are quite difficult to win at home. Xavi knows what he has to do and the Champions League is not the same competition as the domestic league and here if they lose then they have to be eliminated.

The round of 16 second leg at home to Barcelona will be decisive and Napoli certainly wants to send Barcelona home sooner than this phase. In fact, the performance of the two teams is not much different, only with the lack of players, Barcelona is a little better than Napoli and as you said, using young players is one of the advantages that Barcelona has. Lamine Yamal is expected to produce good results later and as the youngest player he can be a solution to the deadlock that Barcelona often encounter.

I had the same thought. Barcelona managed to get a draw in the first leg, even though they played as guests, and in that match, Barcelona played quite well because they were able to play with their first team (including De Jong and Pedri). Even one goal scored by Lewandowski at that time was an assist from Pedri. So maybe Barcelona will not have the same performance in the second leg because they have to play without Pedri and De Jong. It's just that this time they have an advantage, which is that they will be playing at home.

Xavi Hernandez will ensure everything works smoothly as plan for his side because he already missed out on the La Liga title race but the UEFA Champions League will be intact for them this season.
There is a big possibility that Barcelona will be able to get to the next round in the match which will take place at home in two days. But I am not sure that Barcelona will survive intact in the Champions League this season because in terms of performance there is still something lacking from Barcelona even though the team is still slightly better than Napoli, who they will host in the next two days. I also believe that Napoli will not be able to do much in the second leg of the Champions League unless the team is blessed with a high level of luck in the second leg.

When comparing Napoli and Barcelona team, Barcelona team is considered as favorite. The overall condition of the Napoli team is not good. However, it cannot be said that Barcelona are in a very good rhythm. However, Barcelona's performance is stable compared to Napoli.
Barcelona's performance is still up and down depending on what kind of opponents the club faces. Barcelona was also struggling against mediocre teams in the La Liga. This can be said as a setback for Barcelona, as the club should use it as a warm-up before it faces Napoli in a serious match.
I have seen that so many time barcelona was struggling to beat mediocre club in la liga. This is probably affecting the performance from the club, hence barcelona needs also to explor the potential weakness of napoli. Napoli is not in a good shape compared to the barcelona.
The chance owned by the club to win the game is bigger, considering that kvarat and osimhen are not in their best form. Barcelona must have fully prepared to face the upcoming game. Winning against napoli is helping club to acquire more money from keep continue to play in UCL.

Napoli did not play well at home in the first leg match. Their performance was very poor. They cannot carry out such a powerful attack. The Napoli team played defensively. The next match is Barcelona's home match. Barcelona players will be more confident at home. I believe Barcelona will win the next match. Napoli's performance is completely dependent on Osimhen.

Im not really sure about that. Even osimhen has been so wasteful in the previous games and he was also rarely scoring the game for the club. How can napoli dependent on him? I strongly disagree with this.

The next match is Barcelona's home match. Barcelona players will be more confident at home. I believe Barcelona will win the next match. Napoli's performance is completely dependent on Osimhen.
If it's just a comparison, it's clear that in terms of experience, Barcelona is superior, but unfortunately Barcelona doesn't know whether it will appear without its main players because as we can see, Xavi has just lost 2 of its main players and is injured and if the match against Napoli is without the presence of 2 of its main players this will be very worrying about Barcelona victory.
while Napoli still, as usual, only relies on Osimhen, who is currently still a scoring machine, but in the UCL you can't just rely on one player to get satisfactory results, while we don't know yet whether Napoli new coach can provide very valuable experience in terms of performance since the change of coach, Napoli have not been able to provide any achievements that we can see are only bad performances like before.

In the second leg, many people want to speculate that Barcelona will win and I would also say the same thing, but the process of getting a win will not be easy because Napoli will definitely put pressure on Osimhen attack.
Xavi will not waste this opportunity as long as he sees the bad things that happen to his opponent, Xavi will plan the right strategy to get victory and qualify for the next round and for me if Barcelona fails in the round of 16 it is too early unless Barcelona fails in the quarter finals maybe it makes more sense.

I was having high hopes of seeing Atletico madrid took down Inter Milan in this round, but after seeing the first game and the lasts games played by the Atletico Madrid is being more and more difficult to see it happening.

They are not playing good in LaLiga also.
La Liga teams comes for the UEFA Champions League title but they're not getting it because the promising clubs are yet to be decided. Don't ever place your trust on these elite teams because the results they eventually generate appears to be inconsistent and confusing most times. For illustration, the exact scenario of Atletico Madrid, they won Real Betis 2-1 and lost to Cadiz 2-0 which is very confusing result. An elite team will not always be in good form this season, rather there are many more actions to be triggered with these teams.
Among the La Liga clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona have not fared very well in the Champions League, apart from the two teams that are definitely eligible for the Champions League. If we talk about Atlético Madrid, then I will say that this team's record in the Champions League is not very good. Real Madrid has won the most number of Champions League trophies from La Liga so far and this team is one of the favorites to win the Champions League trophy in the current season as well. It is certainly a failure for Barcelona that they have not won the Champions League trophy in the last few seasons. There was a time when Barcelona and Real Madrid used to compete in tournaments like the Champions League and the competition we still remember but we don't see anymore. Real Madrid are in the same position, but Barcelona have dropped far below their position.
I miss when Barcelona and Real Madrid were Champions League titans with Messi and Ronaldo, nearly untouchable. Real Madrid seems to be retaining part of its glory due to their savvy signings. However, Barcelona's condition saddens me. They're floundering without Messi, and their financial troubles have shackled them, making it hard to recover

I think Real Madrid can win the Champions League if they play their cards well. Barcelona has a long road ahead. They need a miracle or a huge investment to recover. The key is clever planning and team spirit, not just signing players. In the Champions League, Atlético Madrid must compete with Inter Milan and others

The performance of Napoli and Barcelona has been very inconsistent throughout this season so it is difficult to compare them, but in terms of strength these two teams do not have a significant difference.

Because Barcelona managed to hold Napoli to a draw in the first leg when the match was played at Napoli's home ground, the Barcelona players' confidence increased quite a bit, especially since the second leg will be played at their home ground, of course they will have a greater percentage of winning the match.
Agg it's still a draw, mathematically both teams still have the same chance of qualifying, but I personally tend to favor Barcelona, I think that's more realistic.

It's difficult to predict the outcome of this game since barcelona was equal compared to the napoli, they have gotten fierce battle in the first leg . Barcelona is the favorite to win this game, but I'm not sure about barcelona to win the game if if Napoli will play passively against them. it will make the players feel even more stressed to break the wall first before it will able to score.  The club must be able to perform even better than previously. This match is Napoli's last chance to stay in the UCL and it can happen as long as napoli will have the right way to reduce the attacking lines from barcelona. .
Xavi must be able in winnint this game or he will be blamed again . Canzola is also fully responsible for the outcome of this match to ensure that his team advances to the next stage.

Barcelona has pretty good odds here, which is around 1.89, meanwhile Napoli has gotten 3.90 as its odds and im sure barcelona will win this game. Barcelona has a better chance of qualifying because their first leg resulted in a draw against Napoli and it will continue to play at home. there will be a lot of advantages owned by barcelona. 
The club must perform even more consistently in the upcoming games. Some key players will be absent in the upcoming game. That is gonna have big impact to the performance from barcelona. Napoli comes with full squad.

Both teams have the same motivation at the moment, which is to beat each other and qualify for the next round, currently both teams have the same performance in the league so that it allows both teams to be able to give us an exciting match, Barcelona is no longer able to chase the La Liga trophy as well as Napoli who lost hope in Serie A,  having quality players both bottom and top lines, of course, the second leg match will again have the potential to draw like in the first leg.

For the leg two game, I think the two coaches will try to do their best in formulating the team's strategy later, but even so, I think Barcelona, who are currently in good form after getting a victory in the league, certainly do not want to lose the opportunity to qualify for the last 8 of the Champions League later, as well as Napoli who rely on Osimhen certainly do not want to be embarrassed again in the Champions League after the season Previously often became a dark horse in the Champions League.
My prediction is that the match will end in a draw and continue until extra time where the two teams may be determined by penalties.

Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that he got his tactics wrong for Real Madrid's 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
Finally, Ancellotti has spoken about the draw from Madrid vs. Leipzig. He admitted that his team used the wrong tactic against Leipzig, and it's strongly influenced the result of the game. Real Madrid was unable to explore even more during the game. The good thing is that Vini was able to give the solution to score one additional goal against Leipzig, which helped the club a lot in qualifying for the next round. It's caused by a human error from ancellotti itself and glad to hear that if he was not even making excuses from the bad result against leipzig.
I think this mistake is understandable, because not all experiments sometimes run perfectly and Ancelotti is great at admitting his mistakes. Ancelotti is trying to vary the lineup, to see how good one or two players are in different positions like Valvarde. The draw was not bad, and it was proven that Los Blancos had succeeded in qualifying for the quarter finals.

If we look at Madrid starting XI when facing Leipzig, Ancelotti really experimented and took huge risks. Ancelotti only fielded the only striker, namely Vinicius, and we know Valvarde was on the right wing and Bellingham was placed as a false nine. A decision that not all coaches dare to make, unless they believe that their players can carry out different tasks well.

I see that Ancelotti decision is aimed at rotating his players, anticipating player fatigue and minimizing the risk of injury. Because Madrid has a busy match schedule, Ancelotti is certainly not joking with his choice. As an experienced coach, Ancelotti can certainly see the potential of his players well, such as placing Tchouameni as a central defender when Los Blancos had a defensive crisis.

I was having high hopes of seeing Atletico madrid took down Inter Milan in this round, but after seeing the first game and the lasts games played by the Atletico Madrid is being more and more difficult to see it happening.

They are not playing good in LaLiga also.
La Liga teams comes for the UEFA Champions League title but they're not getting it because the promising clubs are yet to be decided. Don't ever place your trust on these elite teams because the results they eventually generate appears to be inconsistent and confusing most times. For illustration, the exact scenario of Atletico Madrid, they won Real Betis 2-1 and lost to Cadiz 2-0 which is very confusing result. An elite team will not always be in good form this season, rather there are many more actions to be triggered with these teams.
Among the La Liga clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona have not fared very well in the Champions League, apart from the two teams that are definitely eligible for the Champions League. If we talk about Atlético Madrid, then I will say that this team's record in the Champions League is not very good. Real Madrid has won the most number of Champions League trophies from La Liga so far and this team is one of the favorites to win the Champions League trophy in the current season as well. It is certainly a failure for Barcelona that they have not won the Champions League trophy in the last few seasons. There was a time when Barcelona and Real Madrid used to compete in tournaments like the Champions League and the competition we still remember but we don't see anymore. Real Madrid are in the same position, but Barcelona have dropped far below their position.
The conditions of Real Madrid and Barcelona are different, unlike before when Real Madrid still had quality players like Ronaldo and Barcelona still had Messi and now everything is gone but Real Madrid has not lost its glory days, it only needs some high quality players to get its glory days but Barcelona It will be a little difficult to get out of this downturn as long as there are no big investors who can provide large funds to make big changes to the players because quality players are very important for Barcelona's future.
Real Madrid may be one of the favorites in the CL title competition but we have to look at other clubs like Manchester City who are currently really ready to get another title like last season because this club has no shortage of players and even looks very complete and certain in terms of Real Madrid's performance will not be strong enough to compete with Manchester City.

Atletico Madrid may look very ready against all odds but to beat Inter Milan and qualify for the next round is not an easy task because Inter Milan's current state is really very strong and not only in Series A but in the CL they also have a very strong performance. Even though they were only able to get 1 aggregate score, just look at Inter who will win in the second leg.
After Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid, Real Madrid filled his place with other young players but the void left by Messi from Barcelona has not been filled till now. They let go of Lionel Messi due to the financial crisis at Barcelona, although they have since managed to make several signings. The reason for Barcelona's financial crisis is that they could not buy players with a proper plan. They couldn't buy players with proper planning and the players they spent extra money on didn't perform for the team and due to injury problems they had to release them on free which led to Barcelona's financial problems which are still ongoing. We know that if good quality players are appointed in Barcelona again then this team will perform well again but how they will remove this financial problem and hire good quality players in their team is a big question.

Napoli couldn't secure a winning score against Blaugrana in the first leg and its pure motivation for Barcelona to fight back in the second leg. Barcelona will hosts Napoli in the second leg of round of 16, an important game that deserves the big winning from the exact club that clinched on winning form. Nobody gets a clear view except for clubs that have fought really hard to enter significant phase in the UEFA Champions League. Xavi Hernandez will ensure everything works smoothly as plan for his side because he already missed out on the La Liga title race but the UEFA Champions League will be intact for them this season.

As Barcelona gets ready to defeat Napoli in the second leg, that is how Napoli will also have the same plan because this is like a new game since they made a draw in the first leg, and both or the teams will not take it easy on each other. That is what will make the game more amazing to watch.
 
Although the last game that Napoli played in serie A still shows that Napoli's performance is still intact, so even though Xavi won’t allow Barcelona to fall, he will just do the plan. But we don’t know what will happen on the field; maybe it might end up in a penalty shootout. We don’t know yet, so we will all wait and see what will happen on Tuesday and who will go to the quarterfinal between the two teams.

Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that he got his tactics wrong for Real Madrid's 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
Finally, Ancellotti has spoken about the draw from Madrid vs. Leipzig. He admitted that his team used the wrong tactic against Leipzig, and it's strongly influenced the result of the game. Real Madrid was unable to explore even more during the game. The good thing is that Vini was able to give the solution to score one additional goal against Leipzig, which helped the club a lot in qualifying for the next round. It's caused by a human error from ancellotti itself and glad to hear that if he was not even making excuses from the bad result against leipzig.
