I'm curious about what Inter will do as well. They were pretty nice in the group stage. Most people were expecting to see Barcelona pushing them out of the Champions League but the opposite happened. It was quite unexpected for me as well to tell the truth. They got four points in total from Barcelona which was a really good effort. Now they are going to face Porto in last 16 stage. On paper, Inter are the favourite team to advance of course. However bookmakers don't see them as a big favourite either - Inter to advance has a 1.76 odd while it is 1.96 for Porto.

But I believe in Inter to do this. I really appreciate their attacking performance this season. Maybe they have had defensive issues so far in general however they have mostly been very good at scoring. Porto are another productive team maybe but Inter should be able to eliminate them anyway by a small margin.

Liverpool will be coming with the new squad. Gakpo will have joined in the game against real madrid. That will be making the match even more hottest than before. I guess that we will see real madrid bring the new players against liverpool too.
The atmosphere from the match between real madrid against liverpool will be so good. Im waiting for who's gonna be the new striker for real madrid. that will be very interesting to see him play with real madrid.
I heard that some strikers being linked with madrid but it's not clear who has been chosen by madrid. I hope that madrid will reveal it very soon.
The joining of Cody Gakpo to Liverpool will certainly be a plus for Jurgen Kloop's squad and maybe it will be a revenge match with Real Madrid. We know the competition between these two clubs in the champions league is always hot in every match and this match is always intense for both teams. For Real Madrid strikers, it seems they are still relying on Benzema, we know that Benzema is still in a fit condition and ready to become the starting line-up in the round of 16 later.

Unfortunately I don't think Liverpool has got themselves together as of yet despite they winning this game in the Premier League a couple of days ago.I think they will also win the upcoming game tomorrow or after tomorrow in Premier League and we have to see how the team will behave during the upcoming games of the Premier League.They will be a great indication of the Liverpool form and what to expect in the Champions League clash,the problem though is that Real Madrid is in a much better form than Liverpool is and I don't think Gakpo will make that a huge impact as he needs to harmonize himself with Liverpool before giving his 100% for the team.I wish Liverpool qualifies but things do not look that good for Liverpool.

Dortmund - Chelsea is another interesting matchup to me.

Because I believe that this is a matchup between two close teams in strength these days. I think like this because of seeing Chelsea's inadequate performance in the recent times. However they have made a really good return by their Bournemouth game last. It was a completely one-sided game and an easy win. But we saw this from Liverpool as well. They won against the same opponent by an emormous goal difference also but they were still inconsistent later. Therefore we need to watch a few more games to be confident about something.

Dortmund haven't played a game in the Bundesliga yet after the break. If they continue to have the same defensive problems then Chelsea would come one step forward in this matchup for sure.
This will be a tough test for Chelsea though English teams like Manchester City, Chelsea have a way of winning games against German teams I won't be surprised if Chelsea are able to win the match against Dortmund but I rate the game as a tough contest for both teams. If any team should have upper hand in this game it should be Chelsea because they have a better squad than Dortmund.


When it comes to champions league games, I don’t see so much of superiority of one team over the other. As it is being called the league of champions, every team there are not to be underrated and could possibly do something unbelievable to qualify. I believe Chelsea is a more stronger team and has a better squad than the current Dortmund team, but the match would definitely be a great encounter to watch. I’m looking forward to the match soon.

Borrussia Dortmund already faced the best Premier League side this season ( Manchester City ) lost the first meeting and ended up with a tie during the second meeting with the score line leveled as they draw that game.

Facing Chelsea won't be difficult but I still don't know how and what to predict foe the game, during Champions League ganes like these all I do is stick to these Premier League Clubs. I'm banking on Chelsea to qualify for the next level.

On the one hand, you are right, and as a Real Madrid fan, I am not happy that Real Madrid again gets a difficult path. But on the other hand, if you look from the point of view of an unbiased fan, everyone is waiting for just such games. Group games are mostly dull and in the playoffs we want real battles, not just another boring "next round" wait.

I don't think Real Madrid will continue to dominate the Champions League this season like last season. Last season Madrid was able to perform consistently well thanks to Benzema's excellent performances. But Benzema is not in good form this season. And so I don't think Madrid will be able to continue to perform consistently well. I think Manchester City or PSG will be championing this season.

Objectively speaking, Real did not dominate last season, Real only won all the confrontations and became champions. But the competitors were also strong (the more valuable this victory). This season, there is again no clear leader (although bookmakers consider City to be one) and a whole group of teams can win the tournament. Although after the World Cup, PSG has grown in my eyes in a pair of PSG - Bayern, I continue to consider Bayern as a favorite.

Chelsea won their last match though with little challenge, They were more coordinated than in their previous matches especially in the first half of the game.
Chelsea's dominant game in the first half did produce goals. but in the second half, they innovated too many chances but no goals.
Chelsea looked dominant when dealing with weaker teams than them. but facing Dortmund, this can also be a big problem for Chelsea.
but before that, we can see how Chelsea changed in the match against Man City in the FA Cup. if they can be tough, there might be a bigger chance when they face Dortmund. which may be because his game also experienced a decline this season.

Even though Chelsea is the favorite ahead of Borussia Dortmund, Dortmund still has a chance to win this match and move on to the next round. I know that Borussia Dortmund have some problems in their squad, but so does Chelsea, they also have problems with the new coach. It's just that Borussia Dortmund is more of a problem because of their own actions, which always sell the main players they have.
Right now, both teams are on same level and have problems in their early round matches as well but now as Chelsea is having improvements surely they deserve the tag of favourite even both are on level and have equal chance to win this match and qualifying for the next round but with most chances before this qualifying match Borussia Dortmund will have not enough practice and Chelsea is surely now already for the preparation for this game will give advantage as well.

Dortmund which is also facing few defensive issues and their main player is also ill, hopefully now in transfer window they will try to solve their issues and increase their strength which is important for them if they want to have better performance in this season.
Chelsea won their last match though with little challenge, They were more coordinated than in their previous matches especially in the first half of the game. I don't know if it because of second-half substitution, but that is not outstanding enough to say That Chelsea is improving because they still need to convince us in subsequent matches since their main problem this season is consistency. But England teams are always very serious in Europe competition, and for that, I don't think Chelsea will be giving up so easily.

Will Club Brugge continue their shock in the round of 16? Yes, they were one of the unfavorable teams in the group phase, but the fact is that they were able to qualify by being runners up in the group by eliminating Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid, it was a surprise that I saw with their competitors, which are big teams in the league. each.
In this round they will face Benfica who also performed well in the group stage. Will Club Brugge be stopped by Benfica?
A bit surprised to see brugge was even able surpassing atletico madrid and leverkusen in the groups stage to be qualified for last 16. Brugge will face benfica and if you are comparing the performance from brugge and benfica. You can know easily if there would be a big difference between both.
I meant benfica is always winning in the domestic league and that proves if brugge was not having stable performance compared with benfica. Benfica will be winning against brugge easily. I bet for benfica in this match.
The gap is too far.

However, the problem is that Darwin Nunez has not shown his best abilities and he tends to play below standard. I think Klopp still has a very tough job to bring his troops to finish in the top four of the Domestic League. on the other hand, Liverpool have a crucial match against Real Madrid at their own cage, Anfield. as we know, even though Madrid is not really the favorite. but after all, Madrid has a big name and a mental steel. and what is certain, Madrid's chances are bigger than Liverpool even though The Red has a home game in the first leg. but actually, this match will present a match that is worth waiting for.

The reality is that at this time Cody Gakpo has not yet played for Liverpool, but indeed a transaction has been made, and Cody Gakpo will just go to Liverpool when the transfer window opens in January. So yes, of course Cody Gakpo will indeed play in the Champions League with Liverpool when Liverpool play against Real Madrid.
But I'm just worried about whether Cody Gakpo will adapt quickly, considering that Liverpool also previously had high hopes for Nunez, but in reality, Nunez couldn't play as expected.
Darwin Nunez is far from what was expected, until now he has not found his best game with the Liverpool squad. With the money they spent to bring Darwin Nunez to Anfield, until now he has not been able to pay what Liverpool have spent.
Cody Gakpo is their next hope after Darwin Nunez, but I haven't seen his game for Liverpool, which is a concern when he had a similar season with Darwin Nunez which did not live up to expectations. It was very difficult for Jurgen Klopp to find a strategy that would allow his declining players to rediscover their best game.

At least, Liverpool had started their first game well after the second half of the Premier League season was rolled back. the result was satisfactory, despite the fact that Aston Villa is not a very strong team. however, Jurgen Klopp's side have shown they are better than they were earlier this season. it's just that, we can't be sure whether Liverpool's performance will remain stable or not in their domestic league. moreover, currently Liverpool have Gakpo which will definitely increase the sharpness of their attack line.
Seems Primer League is not started for second half season but continue with postponed due World Cup 2022 and last winning against Aston Villa is matchday 17.

Currently, Liverpool have good performance after defeating Aston Villa last match and have good capital against with Real Madrid on 16 round of Champion League one moth later after arriving Cody Gakpo, but still can't give guarantee with Liverpool lock one position at quarter final after Real Madrid having dominance in head to head. Madrid still favorite although not any new player arrive because they have been solid player right now and most appreciated with Real Madrid have iconic come back at second after have bad started in first leg.

It was a shock that Club Brugge qualified for the round of 16 despite having Atlético Madrid and Leverkusen in the same group, yet both were eliminated without winning any of their matches against Brugge. Even FC Porto who finished top of the table, Also tasted their share of the defeat in their home game with Club Brugge, although they payed back when they visited Club Brugge at their home. I think Benfica will not have to underestimate them because if they can have 3 wins , 2 draws and 1 loss in 6 matches played in the group stage then they might progress to the quarter finals if Benfica sleep on their defense.

Besides that, are you sure Real Madrid isn't too much of a favorite after everything that's happened so far? because Real Madrid was not the favorite last season either, but in reality, Real Madrid can win the Champions League title.
So at this moment, I still consider Real Madrid the favorite, and it doesn't matter how good their squad is because in a match, Real Madrid can play very well.

Chelsea already signed some agreements with another club to buy the new players. The player like nkuku will not help chelsea against dortmund in february caused by nkuku will come around the middle month of next year. Jorginho will be leaving from chelsea. Chelsea needs to find a good midfielder. It seems like that reece james's injury become even longer than what people expected. Chelsea has been buying david datro fofane which already expected to be the same of didier drogba. The name looks unfamiliar for me.
This is very interesting when talking about 2 clubs which is in the middle stand, Chelsea and Dortmund are clubs that are not going well on the local league, they have underperformance after losing a potential player and management. But what makes me interested is Moukoko, a Dortmund player who has an interest by Chelsea Officla. If this happens this winter, possible this guy will change jerseys to Chelsea and will face his ex-club in the champions league next.

Both of these teams are not doing well, so I'm not sure who will play better in the match later. Chelsea is trying to rebuild a team that is a bit messy, on the other hand, Borussia Dortmund are even rumored to be leaving their players. That's what makes it harder for me to Chelsea who will win in the match later, because I'm not too sure they will retain their players.

Of course but dortmund will have so many disadvantage during the match against chelsea as the club will be using the new formation and dortmund must have adapted with the new formation. Chelsea itself already bought some new players and we can hope that if chelsea will be performing so well against dortmund. Chelsea has a new striker too. Moukoko itslef being rumour will move to the barcelona. Moukoko has been prioritizing barcelona over EPL club.
The chance for him move to the chelsea is quite small at this moment.
Even right now we have more than six weeks in this match but things looking impressive and having favorable for the Chelsea because they are improving their quality and performance as well which is going to help them for having better result against Borussia Dortmund which is badly down before break and now looking for few changes into their team in coming transfer window with Chelsea is also already in for the few changes which will surely improve things for them specially Moukoko arrival is big advantage for them with they are already having few good players.

Most chances Moukoko will be in Premier League instead of going into Barcelona because they already rejected his salary demand which was big for them in current bad situation so right now we have two London clubs in race for the signing which is most chances going into favour of Chelsea.

You could say that Liverpool will be revenge for the loss in the final last season, but I think that Real Madrid will win easily in this confrontation. Liverpool are not having the best time in the team, you could even say it's a crisis after Sadio Mane left the club. Now Madrid looks much stronger than Liverpool and I am sure they will win.
I would not say Liverpool will avenge last season's final defeat. but if Liverpool had a better squad, of course, the game would be more interesting. because dealing with the strength of Madrid will be quite balanced if Liverpool can play better. and it will be fun to enjoy. it would be boring if Liverpool suffered a crushing defeat with their game dropping.
This match brought together the two European giants. of course, fans don't want to be disappointed by what they watch.
Yes, but Liverpool are quite a self-reliant team.  They can make anything happen until the last second.  Let's see what happens.  We the audience will enjoy.
Liverpool will be coming with the new squad. Gakpo will have joined in the game against real madrid. That will be making the match even more hottest than before. I guess that we will see real madrid bring the new players against liverpool too.
The atmosphere from the match between real madrid against liverpool will be so good. Im waiting for who's gonna be the new striker for real madrid. that will be very interesting to see him play with real madrid.

Liverpool is now regrouping themselves after having the worst start of this season into Premier League, but good thing happen for them is they are having better record into Champions League and giving their best which is surely edge for them and their coach, so now we have a challenging situation for them as they are looking for the revenge and Real Madrid is looking for to defend of their title things are not easy for both teams and Liverpool which is already started their second inning try to have keep their momentum until February because this is big match with they have few chances for winning Premier League title and also not easy for them to have spot into top four, so they will try their best for winning against Real Madrid and have their season end at their best specially with the top honour of the Europe.
