Real Madrid has always been a top performer when it comes to the champions league,all season,they've always been the team with a good performance,and even despite not having the names that used to be there and give them that experience,but now,they currently have a squad that is full of young talents who are capable of winning the Champions league as well.

However,Arsenal, Dortmund,and Manchester City are other teams who may win the league as well,and after the round of 16,we would know the teams who can really go through to the final with the performance that will be displayed in this round.
Real Madrid might be experiencing inconsistent results in La Liga but they can be able to deliver when it's time for them to play tough matches. Real Madrid is the best club when it comes to winning major trophies and competing in elite competitions. They have the right players, an experience coach and die-hard fans that channel their energy to becoming one of the best leading club. Mentioning Arsenal and Borrusia Dortmund, they can proves to be competitive within due time and gets knockout when the main business arises.
This aspect of Real Madrid really amazes me. It is a very difficult match in La Liga. They may be playing poorly in the league, but they fully devote themselves to the matches and can even become champions in the UCL. It is very strange that they did not win the league but became UCL champions, but when it comes to difficult tournaments, Real Madrid plays differently.

One person I respect much in the Real Madrid squad is their fatherly figure coach - Ancelotti. He is a man of wisdom and experience and he uses both as his unconquered armour. How he blends the strength of the young players with experience of the old players to produce unique results amazes me. Gradually, he has gotten a consistently good squad such that the young ones can do what we know about Real Madrid.
Currently that many players are injured but the effect is not felt. Real Madrid is obviously a strong contender of the champions league and they can win it, especially as the defending champion which is Manchester city has dropped two steps from the last season form.

In my opinion, Real Madrid is still quite consistent in Laliga, even though they are not at the top of the Laliga standings now, but they have only experienced 1 defeat and that doesn't really affect Real Madrid, but in the UCL, Real Madrid is still the team that is most feared by any team and In the group stage, Real Madrid was able to achieve perfect points without losing or drawing. Real Madrid is still much better than Barcelona and Man City, they can be said to be less consistent, Man City has experienced a decline several times because key players are missing, you can see it in the EPL standings while Barcelona also feels the same thing in Laliga, so in the UCL we will see later a team that fought with all their might even though their condition was not very stable in the domestic league.

But however there would be a serious battle against Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich on this champions League but however if Real Madrid manages to qualify to the final of the league they will certainly win the champions League because they have a very solid records on champions league finals because they are always favoured.
There is no doubt that since UEFA changed the name of the European Cup competition to the Champions League in 1992, Real Madrid has had a perfect record when competing in finals where Madrid have never lost and have always been champions when playing in the Champions League final. With this record, Real Madrid is nicknamed the king of the Champions League, especially since Madrid is the club that has collected the most Champions League winners.
Real Madrid has always been the favorite team in this competition, the reason is because they hold the status as the team that has won the most UCL titles. Real Madrid's performance is always consistent every year, even though they cannot win the UCL title every time this competition is held, Real Madrid's presence is always a threat to other clubs. This season Real Madrid is also one of the favorite teams along with Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Arsenal and Inter Milan.

Last season Manchester City managed to create a surprise, after successfully beating Real Madrid in the semifinals, they were also able to complete the match vs Inter Milan in the final. This season there may be new surprises and new champions in the UCL. I think it will be very difficult for Manchester City to defend their title due to their declining performance.

The Real Madrid team is very strong this season as well. However, their attack is quite weak. Rodrygo and Vini's performances are not regular. However, with a strong midfield, Madrid have been able to produce good results in every match. Especially Bellingham, Modrich and Toni Kroos are playing well in every match. If Madrid manage to add Mbappe to the squad in the winter transfer window then I'd say Real Madrid are heavy favorites to win the Champions League title this season.

Manchester City have a strong squad. However, in the last few matches of the Premier League, we have seen Manchester City's performance quite erratic. It is not possible to win the Champions League title if such an irregular performance. Arsenal and Barcelona may also want to do well in the Champions League. However, there are several weaknesses in their squad.

Irrespective of there performance last season there rivals was not much that was why they were able to go that far and wining the champions League but however considering there rivals this season it Will be very difficult for them on this season to display what they did last season because so many strong team are also striving for the champions League trophy so for now we can only predict the clubs that stands on a higher chance of wining the league but it will be very difficult to no the exact team that can win the champions League.

Although if Manchester City would have use the kind of performance they had last season to this season it would have helped them a lot because there last season they were moving in accordance with all the leagues they were playing especially there premier they won the premier League and the champions league at the same time, so if they had come back to this season with that performance they would eventually win the go far but it was quite unfortunate for them this season because they seem a bit poor in performance.

Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich can be sure of qualifying for the next round this season because they don't have such tough opponents. Even though weak teams can sometimes cause surprises, I don't think Copenhagen, Leipzig and Lazio are able to stop the favorite teams above.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid cannot be sure of qualifying, neither do PSG, Dortmund and Arsenal. However, PSG and Arsenal seem to have a good chance of qualifying because Real Sociedad and Porto also don't have high hopes. PSG and Arsenal have good and experienced coaches, but things can still change because the round of 16 first leg will be played in mid-February.

Borussia Dortmund - PSV
Dortmund have unbalanced results lately and almost lost Bundesliga championship chance. So they have to pass this round, they will be more focused in Champions League.

Normally my favorite team is Borussia Dortmund, but according to the news I read, some Borussia Dortmund players have given a negative opinion about Edin Terzic to the club's CEO, Hans-Joachim Watzke. We might be entering a difficult period for Borussia Dortmund. I think this round would not have been so easy for Borussia Dortmund if they had faced a slightly better team than PSV. In this round we can say that they were a bit lucky. Also, PSV were a bit lucky to be in the same group as Lens and Sevilla. However, the match against Borussia Dortmund will be a serious test for them.
If Dortmund is in their best performance, I will definitely favor Dortmund. But seeing Dortmund's recent decline in performance in the Bundesliga can actually make us doubt Dortmund. But there is still plenty of time for them to improve their performance. And PSV is currently unbeatable in the Eredivisie. So PSV looks very convincing at the moment. But I can't decide who is better at the moment. Maybe I would prefer to wait until later when the match schedule is closer. But if I had to choose now then I would still choose Dortmund. Because seeing Dortmund manage to top Group F has made me amazed by their performance in the UCL. Although I am a little disappointed with Dortmund's performance in the Bundesliga. But it looks like Dortmund is focusing more on the UCL this season.

Champions league is the best and there's no team that can stand in the chance of not competing. UCL round of 16 draw is out and none of these fixtures peaks my interests because they're all consider boring not enough actions left to watch until its quarter finals, that's when we can see the potential clubs that have what it takes to win matches. Borrusia Dortmund facing PSV, is it a game to bother about? I don't think so because I'm confident of Edin Terzic men. In as much as they're recording poor performance in bundesliga, there are some clubs that just don't reach the standards of Dortmund when it comes to performance.
I don't see anything to bother me in the fixture of Dortmund vs PSV. It is very obvious that this match belong to Dortmund. Dortmund is a bigger club here and the league they play is stronger than that of PSV so this is the end of the road for PSV. Dortmund won their group that had PSG, AC Milan and Newcastle. It's Dortmund for me in this game.

Atletico Madrid - Inter
Though pick. It can go either way. I see Atletico one step ahead but Inter is also pretty good this season, I won't be surprised if they pass this round.
This match is very hard to predict but since lautaro is on fire and i would prefer to take intermilan rather thana tletico madrid. Intermilan is just getting better and it was runner up last season.
The gameplay of intermilan has been evolving since some stars were coming to the intermilan.

This is going to be the toughest  match of the round of 16. Inter  Milan are in great form. The team is doing well in both Serie A and Champions  League. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid  are very strong this season. They have a lot of talented players in their attack. Martinez remains in great form. On the other hand  Atlético Madrid have great  players like Griezmann, Depay,  Morata and Correa in the attack. As the  players of both the teams  are in good rhythm. So it will be very difficult to predict which team will win this match. Both teams have equal chances  of winning.

PSG are not yet ready to win the champoins league. The French league is not that competitive and the strongest team PSG struggled with Newcastle and other teams in their group. If they make it pass the round of 16 this season I think they are lucky. It will take PSG many years of consistency to win the Champions league, they should forget about it this season.
Agreed, PSG has not yet faced the strongest team in the UCL like real madrid and bayern. It was almost failing to qualify for the knock out stage. It sounds non sense to pick PSG as favorite to win the competition right now.
Luck or unluck have become side factor that was helping the club to qualify or not. In fact, PSG is not that strong to compete with the best club like manchester city, real madrid or bayern.
How many times PSG was botting its performance in the UCL? It can be answered easily. This is also the main reason PSG was always failed to get UCL.
The only best achievement to be runner up of UCL a few years ago but yeah it was a few years ago. Football developed even further and there are lots of change happened.
When you are that good, you do not face a great team until the quarter finals, it's rarely the case. I mean you "may" face someone that is good, but most of the time you really don't. I think it's quite clear that they will not face anyone who will be all that much of a trouble for them. I think quarter finals may end up being a little decent as well, I think it is going to be a bit of a tough deal for the draw, but they are building a great team, maybe during the winter period they will get someone decent as well, who knows?

I think that should be the most important thing, we need to arrange something that will benefit everyone. This is of course not a guaranteed thing but we could always end up with a good PSG win and they may finally get that UCL title they always wanted, that's an important situation. I believe that there is still some time left to see, but I like their current roster, they do look like a good team and they do look like they may do something about it as well.
PSG has had top players recently and they couldn't do anything special to win the Champions league. If they didn't win it when the likes of Messi and others were there. So I don't really see any magic that this current squad they have can win the champoins league this season. Maybe in the future they will win but not now as they are not yet ready.
That was the reason why Paris Saint-German signed Messi and they failed to win the Champions League. Maybe Paris Saint-German is not destined to win the Uefa Champions League in this era because PSG has had a very good squad in the past years who were supposed to win the Uefa Champions League but they did not.

However, the match against Borussia Dortmund will be a serious test for them.
In the first leg PSV is more favored than Dortmund but I think it's just a home consideration and if Dortmund can make this first leg end in a draw then Dortmund's move in the second leg will be easier because competing at home should give a different advantage and spirit.
And they really benefited from meeting PSV, it would be a different story if they met a team that was stronger than PSV but that doesn't mean PSV doesn't have a chance to win and it's still 50/50.
In the 16th round, the matches Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid and also Porto vs Arsenal will be very tight in my opinion and this is quite difficult to predict who will advance to the quarterfinals.

Every game will be boring. Inter Milan vs Atletico is probably the best draw this round.
Both teams this season have produced great attacking numbers to go along with their great defense.
But I hope this is a good thing, as it will lead to the best quarterfinal matchups in history, assuming the favorites go through this round.
By the way, I immediately noticed this match, as the most difficult, I mean that it is not clear who is the favorite, and I may even be inclined to believe that Atlético has a good chance of beating Inter. City and Bayern will most likely not have any problems with their rivals, and Real and Leipzig will play productive football, but Real will most likely beat Leipzig as well.
Talking about the match Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid if i am not mistaken both managers has playing together at Lazio when they were still active as players so this is a reunion between old friends and this is interesting because Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid was never met before at official tournaments so this is their first meeting at champion league and i have to says the match is hard to predicted because both teams is equally strong and during group stages they also very solid Atletico Madrid even has successfully to being an group champion

If we compared the recent performance between these teams at their domestic league obviously Inter Milan was more better than Atletico Madrid this because Inter Milan was unstoppable at Serie A and Inter Milan even can able to occupies first place on league standings and they also as last season finalist and for the first leg Inter Milan will playing as a host and based on the odds which i have seen recently Inter Milan is the favourite and Atletico Madrid as underdog status so lets see it later which team who can able to beat their opponent and advances to quarterfinal but i was thinking the opposite than you that my prediction for first leg is Inter Milan will be able to beat Atletico Madrid

In as much as they're recording poor performance in bundesliga, there are some clubs that just don't reach the standards of Dortmund when it comes to performance.
Dortmund's standard is considerably high right now compared with other team like PSV. I was seeing dortmund as equal to the bayern munich or leverkusen. I don't think people will consider dortmund as a weak team.
PSV was performing so poorly in the group stage while dortmund was able to become a winner in the most difficult group of UCL this season. Im also feeling confident to take terzic's squad compared to the PSV. The result from this match can be predicted easily.

Terzic's squad was more than PSG in everything. Any aspects owned by dortmund is far better than PSV. PSV was struggling during the group stage and it was not making me feel confidence to pick it.
A smart bettor will not be missing easy money for sure. PSV will not able to win against dortmund in all of legs. Im doubting PSV to perform even better compared when it was still playing in the group stage.

Unless a miracle will come for PSV and it will able to beat dortmund dramatically.

In my opinion, even though Dortmund is not very consistent in the Bundesliga, in the Champions League group stage, Dortmund was able to show their best and managed to come out as group winners considering that group F was filled with strong rivals, especially PSG and Milan. However, Dortmund was able to break their defense and now Dortmund will do it. round of 16 which is certainly tougher than the group stage. Therefore, in this round, Dortmund have to fight hard because this match will be held at PSV headquarters, precisely in the Eredivisie, which will definitely be quite an interesting match. PSV has appeared consistent in the domestic league and has not lost while Dortmund is not very consistent in the Bundesliga. PSV cannot be underestimated, sometimes clubs that are underestimated can perform impressively against big European league clubs. I think Dortmund will prepare this round very carefully, especially in the 1st leg, this might be a little tough for Dortmund.

Yeah right. But looking at Man City's current unstable condition in the Premier League. I think this will provide more opportunities for other clubs such as Inter Milan, which was runner up last season.
Manchester City luckily got an easy opponent for a Round of 16 because they will meet one of weakest teams in this round, Copenhagen. Even Copenhagen made big surprise by won over both Galatasaray and Manchester United in their group, they are not strong enough to compare to Manchester City, the current champion of Champions League.

Quote
But of course there are still other strong candidates, such as Bayern and Real Madrid. Even Man City will definitely return to their best performance when Haaland and De Bruyne return to the field. But Man City and Bayern will indeed have opponents who will not make it too difficult for them. But Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid and Napoli vs Barcelona will definitely be very fierce.
Inter Milan will not have two easy matches with Atletico Madrid which are always competitive and experienced in Champions League in the last decade with Diego Simeone. Inter Milan looks to be stronger not only because they were a runner up in the past season but also because of their form in this season. However, Diego Simeone and Atletico Madrid are experienced enough to bring lot of challenge to Inter Milan.

This will be a chance for two ex-team-mates, Simeone Inzaghi and Diego Simeone meet as coaches. Many years ago they played for Lazio in Serie A and now they will have to fight with each other.

Quote
In fact, I see V.Osimhen returning to his confidence after Napoli has a new coach. But yeah, everything is still uncertain because the match will be held in February and that's still a long time away. So there must have been many things that happened before that that could have changed our point of view at that time.
Both Barcelona and Napoli don't have too good performances in this season and this match is quite balancing. Napoli can beat Barcelona and to be one of underdogs in Champions League like the past season when they went to quarter finals.

The result from this match is quite hard to predict. Barcelona being favored to win the game but napoli can't be called as bad team as well. Napoli was able giving tough game for real madrid. I expect barcelona to struggle when it will face napoli soon.
Napoli is also having good chance to win against barcelona which is declining right now. As long as mezzarri knew how to prevent the gameplay of barcelona which is often used tic tac strategy and im sure napoli can win the game.
It's still remain 50;50 for me in this match.
Yes, the result of this match is quite hard to predict. These two teams both performed extraordinary last season and managed to become champions in their respective domestic competitions. This season, their performances have experienced a drastic decline which has made it difficult for these two teams to compete to defend the title in the domestic league.
Based on the statistics of meetings between the two teams in the last 5 meetings, Barcelona managed to dominate Napoli with 3 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. However, the direction will be different in this meeting, because Barcelona and Napoli are not in their best condition. I predict that Barcelona and Napoli will both experience difficulties when they play at their respective opponents' headquarters, the chance of qualifying for the next round is still 50:50, because it is very difficult to say which team will survive because this season the strength of both teams is equally strong.

Indeed, if you look at these two teams, they both played quite well in the group phase, both Napoli and Barcelona, ​​they are equally strong this season in the Champions League. But I am still quite sure that in the first leg Napoli has a big chance of being quite profitable because they are playing at home which they can make the best use of to find victory in front of their supporters. But Barcelona always wins against Napoli so this is a test for Napoli to end their bad record when facing Barcelona.

Apart from that, Barcelona is also ambitious to improve their performance in the Champions League this season, so they will try their best to achieve victory in the first leg. We'll see Xavi performance with Barcelona this season, whether he can bring Barcelona through to the last 8 or not.
