2 clubs from the previous europa league now meet in the Champions League Cheesy
Obviously this is a little interesting because on paper Napoli is certainly better, but seeing the current condition of Frankfurt they also cannot be underestimated because they could just bite like last season in the Europa League. Frankfurt's defense is sometimes very difficult to penetrate and this is a good test for Napoli, which is very good in terms of attack and goal productivity.
Napoli will not be so difficult to face Frankfurt in the Champions League this season even though what you say is true too, but Napoli on the other hand also has the ability to dismantle any team's defense this season. Even though the two of them have yet to meet in the Champions League this season, I see that in Serie A Napoli have often never made a fatal mistake this season so that has made Napoli look more convincing to win against Frankfurt in the Champions League this season.
I don't even think napoli will be facing a tough game against frankfurt. it's caused by frankfurt's performance in the bundesliga didn't look good at all. Napoli itself has been doing wintstreak since the early of the season. I think that the performance from napoli is far above frankfurt.
Napoli will be doing so well as long as it will not be losing some of its key players during the match against frankfurt. The rumours said that some players will be leaving from napoli and this will create a big difference.

If Chelsea is going to sign Cristian Ronaldo then surely it's going to be big boost for them as his presence is going to have big impact on their performance and quality but sadly right now media is playing negative role for the player and creating feud with his last statement against Manchester United coach Ten Haq but here now if Chelsea is looking for the better results in the future then surely they have to ignore these all things and bring him in their squad because Graham Potter is fail to handle few big players those were doing good in other clubs but fail to create good results for the Chelsea under this management.

Christino Ronaldo will definitely be a boost to the current strikers we have at Chelsea and with the likes of Hakim Ziyech playing as brilliantly as he is at the world cup, if he get more playing time at Chelsea then he'll definitely keep up that performance and energy meaning, we got our right wings settled as Reece James will also be returning from injury. With both Reece James and Hakim ziyech playing we can get good crosses for header and who would you want most at the end of those crosses than Ronaldo. The media can say all the bad things about this guy (Ronaldo) but the fact reminds he's one of the greatest to have ever played football.

I think signing Ronaldo will totally depends on the managers approval because it will be ugly if we get similar situation that happened between Manchester united coach (Ten Hang) and Christino Ronaldo to repeat itself at Chelsea. Graham Potter has to be sure he can manage Ronaldo and the media very well before agreeing to signed the player. This move will also be beneficial to Chelsea financially considering the media is all over Ronaldo and this will increase more publicity for the club and merchandise sales.

It is of course true that Bayern Munich and PSG have little competition in the relevant competitions. But I don't think that opposition will affect their level in the CL. PSG has had some bad luck that they finished 2nd in the group, although they failed to beat benfica twice. PSG also did well in the group stage of the CL and Bayern also had no problems. Such teams are very experienced, they don't need motivation to recharge themselves for the upcoming matches. I think City will easily go through against RB Leipzig. Bayern-PSG? Yes, that can go both ways. It's a pity that 1 of those 2 teams is already leaving the tournament.
bayern munich is stronger in the champions league this season, when bayern munich faces psg in the round of 16 for sure these two teams will have the same quality ratio of players in both teams. lionel messi, neymar and mbappe became the spearhead of psg this season and even the psg trio became the most feared trio this season.

Manchester city will get an easy opponent in the round of 16, of course it is believed that Pep Guardiola will easily win that match because Haaland presence this season has turned Manchester City into a very strong club when Haaland is in action on the front lines. don't forget to see napoli they are a dark horse team who is a serious challenger for big team team.

This Bayern Munich versus PSG match is going to be an interesting one because Bayern has played quite well in the Champions League this season compared to PSG. However, as you know, PSG have a better team on paper.

Considering that PSG's performance in the Champions League was really lacking, it's difficult to say what happened to their squad when they played in the competition.

There are some really young talent in Bayern's squad, however. I do not think that Pep is going to have a problem in the round of 16 match as long as Erling Haaland is fit because I am very confident that he is going to score a lot of goals as long as he is playing.

If we talking which club will win, obviously it will be Napoli.

But if we talk about to bet on the first leg and second leg, I will give advice to bet draw on the first leg since it will be played on Frankfurt's home, while the second leg it will be played on Napoli's home and I will bet Napoli to win. Frankfurt currently at 4th position on Germany Bundesliga, not a good achievement. The second position is Freiburg who haven't lost any single match on Europa League, and the third is Leipzig who can beat Real Madrid. It's lucky for Frankfurt to play on Champions League.
I didn't counted Frankfurt as the team who qualified to round of 16 before because until week 4 Frankfurt position at the bottom of standings group but surprisingly they can able to beat Sporting on the last match and makes them finish at 2nd position below to Tottenham so this team had capability to makes strong teams to slipped so i personally will very wary to Frankfurt although on the paper Napoli is the favourite but this team is hard to defeated and on the first leg i am sure it will be utilized by Frankfurt to gets 3 points and what Napoli needs to do is try not to lose that if Napoli can able to steal point in the first leg i am sure second leg will be more easy for them

Napoli are a promising team in the Champions League as well. They only need to keep the same motivation after the return of this break. In that case they can have one of their most successful seasons in the Champions League as well. Frankfurt is an easy target for them of course. I don't expect any surprises.

But by the quarter finals, things are going to get really serious. They are most likely to have a draw against big title contenders. If they somehow get a lucky draw then they can reach semi finals easily. The luckiest one would be the winner of Milan - Tottenham or Club Brugge - Benfica matchups.
In this season Napoli is giving amazing performance in Serie A and Champions League with they won against Liverpool and having big gape in Serie A table against their opponents is surely giving them good advantage, and they will be able to play pressure free game after the break and in Champions League as well.

They will face Frankfurt which is surely an exciting side with good prospectus in Bundesliga and Champions League even Napoli is hot favourite but still things are not good for both teams because need extraordinary quality and performance for the win into this match and having spot into last eight if Napoli win then surely they could be able to have tag of favourite for the last four as well.

Point of correction, watching Real Madrid versus Liverpool live is not everyone's dream do not try to generalize the statement. Based on personal feelings and perception I would rather choose to watch Bayern Munich vs PSG than to watch Real Madrid versus Liverpool. What other interesting things are we going to see in Real Madrid versus Liverpool if not inability to score goals. They have met several times in the Champions League and I have known how the vibe use to be. I don't want to witness it anymore especially this season that Liverpool is not in form
I'm just different from you in this regard because I will be very happy to watch both matches this season, because Real Madrid versus Liverpool this season will not be the same as Real Madrid versus Liverpool in the past so I'm just waiting for the best surprise from Liverpool in this season even though Liverpool have not been in their best form this season. Likewise with Bayern Munich vs PSG where I will also watch it because I am sure their match will be very exciting to watch.
No doubt now Real Madrid is not team which done amazing job in last season and have double for the season suddenly performance is change and quality is also dropped after injury of Karim Benzema and lack of few players which are needed by right now not available for them with this current situation most chances both teams are having equal chances for win and qualifying for the next round even Liverpool is also not good in Premier League but still their performance in Champions League is amazing, and they are at their best for this season hopefully things could be at their best for the match and fans could be enjoyed top quality game with we have few more matches as same tempo like Bayern Munich vs PSG because right now these both teams are also on their best and can perform good with anyone can win this battle.

even Aubameyang has not been able to make a good contribution on the Chelsea front line this season so if Chelsea officially gets Ronaldo I think Aubameyang will be Graham second choice in the second half of this season.
It is going to be a really smart move for Chelsea should they sign Ronaldo, the only problem i can forsee now is just the bad image that the media have given Ronaldo, they have made him look like a petulant individual who is concerned only about himself and not his team, that can be the only worry that Chelsea would have in making this deal possible, they would consider that if these reports on Ronaldo are true, then he might bring disunity into their team.

Having said that, Ronaldo is a great goalscorer, and Chelsea need that atm, Aubameyang and Broja are not exceptional footballers, they are very good players, but they cannot produce the goals in numbers that Chelsea require to win trophies, Ronaldo on the ther hand can come into Chelsea and help them win trophies with his goals, i'm pretty sure Todd Boehly would be really considering this move.
If Chelsea is going to sign Cristian Ronaldo then surely it's going to be big boost for them as his presence is going to have big impact on their performance and quality but sadly right now media is playing negative role for the player and creating feud with his last statement against Manchester United coach Ten Haq but here now if Chelsea is looking for the better results in the future then surely they have to ignore these all things and bring him in their squad because Graham Potter is fail to handle few big players those were doing good in other clubs but fail to create good results for the Chelsea under this management.

Now here big advantage is Chelsea is not having to pay big fees for this player as he is currently free agent, and they can take good advantage of this all and if he plays good role for the team then surely in next season they could be able to qualify for the Champions League and able to have better results in this as well because Ronaldo is having good experience for the Champions League as well.

They really haven't been that great so far and I am guessing that Real would have a field day if they did something like that. I am not saying that it would be easy game, it would be still difficult to beat Liverpool, especially if we are talking about 2 games, because home could be easier, but away at Anfield would be very tough for Real even when Liverpool doesn't look great.

But, the overall understanding is that we are not seeing something that should be too difficult, look at how amazing they were last year, and look at how they are struggling this year, the difference is staggering, much bigger than just losing Mane, something changed culturally.

Bruges is the surprise so far in the tournament. They didn't have an ultra strong group, but they won the group with full conviction and they didn't lose a single match. Won away at Atletico with 0-4, then you can basically go far. The draw for the eighth finals is not bad either, but maybe that will also be the end station. I can't name any star players from Bruges, but as a team they are very functional. Last year they played in about the same composition, but were then in the group stage at both PSG and Manchester City. Not surprising that they did not continue from that group then.

If Liverpool is in a positive trend phase, I'm sure, the Liverpool vs Madrid match will be a very exciting match and not only for the fans of these two clubs. the reason is, this match is very important for The Red considering the match is a revenge event for Klopp and his troops to overthrow Madrid in the last 16 round later. it's just that Liverpool's situation is showing unstable performance, especially in their domestic league.

Even so, this match will not escape our attention as football lovers who like to involve betting in it. however, both Liverpool and Real Madrid still have time to prepare their teams for this match later. especially for Klopp, he has a lot of homework to do. if not, Liverpool will be even worse off in either the Champions League or the Premier League.  however, for the PSG vs Bayern match. this match is the most anticipated match in the round of 16. and hopefully, will present a very interesting match.
If you really want to expect Liverpool to knock out Real Madrid in the Champions League then I think the round of 16 is the time. Real Madrid will not be knocked out of this competition easily as they are specialists and experienced enough, but it is always possible to expect Real Madrid to lose and be knocked out of the Champions League although Liverpool have mostly failed to do so so far.

Remember that Real Madrid has knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League far more frequently, so I don't think Liverpool's fight to reach the quarter-finals will ever be easy. Liverpool can do it if they win at home by a large goal difference, while they only need to defending at away match from home vs Real Madrid.

Frankfurt have been one of the attention getting teams in this season. They aren't doing good only in the Bundesliga. They have been very impressive in the Champions League as well. After winning the Europa League title they are just continuing to raise the expectation level from themselves. However their chance against Napoli seems really low I'm afraid. Because Napoli have been on an amazing run so far in the Serie A and Champions League both. Frankfurt is not a big threat to them. Napoli destroyed Liverpool in one match as you can remember.

There is still an ambiguity now about how good these teams will return from this break of course. If we see some weaknesses in Napoli's game then who knows maybe Frankfurt can surprise us. They seem like they are trying to be like Villarreal's unforgettable run here previously.
Last season Eintracht Frankfurt have get us attention become the winner in Europe League and get one place automatically to Champion League although finished under top fourth position in Bundesliga, another surprised made in Champion League with bad started for the first game beaten by Sporting Lisbon but can wake up until last group stage match dramatically beaten Sporting Lisbon for qualifying to next round.
Napoli have consistency performance in this season at Serie A with unbeaten track and seems not easy for Eintracht Frankfurt can lead to quarter final.

I don't think with Eintracht Frankfurt chance get another surprise at 16 round because Napoli have quite well performance in Champion League after 5 won of 6 games, get one loss from Liverpool at last match group stage.

Who says it's not everyone's dream Real Madrid and Liverpool have a lot of fans so of course there will be a lot of watching this match even though it's accompanied by Bayern vs PSG.
Even though Real Madrid and Liverpool often meet in the Champions League, this game is indeed dominated by Real Madrid, but it is possible that the fans will just give up, remember that the Champions League is always different from every year. I know Liverpool are not doing well in the EPL, but for UCL to be able to show its good game, it's no wonder that when it comes to playing against Real Madrid, fans will always expect the best for their game.

If Liverpool is in a positive trend phase, I'm sure, the Liverpool vs Madrid match will be a very exciting match and not only for the fans of these two clubs. the reason is, this match is very important for The Red considering the match is a revenge event for Klopp and his troops to overthrow Madrid in the last 16 round later. it's just that Liverpool's situation is showing unstable performance, especially in their domestic league.

Tottenham might win AC Milan in the knock stages of the uefa champions League in February next year, because I think the reason they lost so many matches is because they lost so many players to injuries, when I watch Richarlison in the Brazilian team at the world cup, I realize that this team is elect, because he is a top class player and he is still improving,and such players can only improve the Tottenham Hotspur team,am not talking about kulusevski who didn't qualify to play at the world cup because Sweden didn't qualify to play,but I believe if those two are playing in the Tottenham set up then they can defect AC Milan without a doubt.

When it comes to age, you can't do anything when age is no longer by your side, particularly in football game which involves strength, agility, Mental energy, and lot more to play. Looking at his performance in this world, it's clearly seen that he has nothing much to offer in the field Play, and I don't really think that he suits the kind of striker that Chelsea needs right now.

However, buying him is still not that bad since he's on free transfer and there are other striker already in Chelsea.

You are biased - from your words it seems that the entire World Cup he sits on the bench and does nothing, but in fact he earned a penalty + scored it, plus that goal that was recorded (fairly) for Bruno Fernandes was only possible because of Ronaldo's jump. And in general, during the time that he played, he played in the favor of the team. In the end, it's very strange: Ronaldo is criticized for "doing nothing but scoring goals", but when he does not score goals, he is criticized in the same way.
The same criticism has also been felt by other players before the Ronaldo Era, fans always want something more for players who are considered to have better skills than other players. When the player can't live up to the fans' expectations, the criticism will come at him relentlessly.
Ronaldo can't play as well as he did when he was young, the age factor has made some appearances decline. I admit, the coach didn't include Ronaldo in the main squad when Portugal beat switzerland because his contribution was so lacking. The coach does not want conflict in the team, he prefers other reasons that are realistic than telling the public the truth.

If Cristiano Ronaldo deal is been triggered and he comes to Chelsea, there's every possibility that he's definitely going to be a starter under Graham Potter.
Of course he will be a definite starter, Chelsea do not have any striker that is better than him, notwithstanding his age. Quite a lot of people think Ronaldo is slowing down, but i don't think he is, definitely he can't be as sharp as he was 10 years ago, but he is still a productive footballer that is far better in his position than many players younger than he is. Aubameyang can't compare to him in anyway, and Tuchel who was the main reason Aubameyang came to Chelsea is now gone, so tbh he looks lost already and that could be the reason for his poor start to life at Stamford Bridge, if i am to help Chelsea make decisions on who to sign, i will definitely get Ronaldo for one season at least, with a possibility of an extension, it is a smart deal imo.

Most Clubs are investing for long term purpose, I'm not a Chelsea fan and I'm a Cristiano Ronaldo fan but them for the betterment of that side, do you also think that this is a good one for the club.
Too much of all these old player's, I was wishing they had Erling Haaland when Thomas Tuchel initially wanted him around bit they failed to achieve that.

Ronaldo wnats the game around him scoring and I don't see Chelsea as that Club, they are a side that build's on all the player's working together, it's all on the coaches decisions though, it's the reason why he's a manager. Aubameyang hasn't performed well so far, I think they need a younger player. Chelsea's new owners a bit self minded, he's just after profits, but don't know a good team will be that which gives you bigger and better profits.
