Bayern Munich is obviously the better team in comparison to Juventus. Even though in recent times they have performed quite average and deed dropped points in the Bundesliga but I still think that they are a force to be reckoned with and it is going to be easy went for them. I really don't expect much from Villarreal in this match because even if I see this match ending in a draw I am going to lose my mind.
Villareal has a lot to watch out for when they have to face Bayern Munich. It is difficult to move freely. Bayern Munich is synonymous with a deadly attacking style. Therefore as much as possible, I hope Villareal can provide a little resistance. So the game is not too saturated to watch. The time is getting closer and we will get some information this week on how Bayern Munich is 100% ready.

I just realized that Chelsea's players when they beat Madrid last season on semi-final haven't changed much and only Lukaku will not playing because he has went to Inter so that's why they are slightly favourite against Madrid because some of people predict Chelsea can repeat last season's results and for first leg at Stamford Bridge will utilized by Chelsea to get win and i think they have good opportunity to it because lately Madrid seems had poor defensive
I would not exactly agree with your opinion that Chelsea is the favorite in the match against Real.
It is true that the players of the club have not changed, but the situation around the club is very difficult and uncertain now, the finances of the club are blocked and in such conditions it is very difficult to play.
On the other hand, it seems to me that Real are better this season than last and have a lot more chances against Chelsea.
After all, in the match with PSG Real showed that they have a good defense and a good attack

In football anything fit happen because it is a game. But for the things to happen it depends on the clubs that are involved. Even if Liverpool is playing their second or third team, I am sure Benfica cannot qualify against Liverpool. Liverpool is a club that knows how to play different type if teams, if your team is strong or weak, them know how to approach them. Liverpool will win against Benfica, there next fixture might be were the problems will lie for them.
I don't rule out Benfica in the Champions League even though it is thought that the team reached the quarter-finals by luck. It might be difficult to explain and accept the fact that the favorite team can also lose in a prestigious competition like the Champions League, but Liverpool have a bigger chance of winning because of their quality.Benfica will try to win the match as they can. I know they are not favourites, but I hope all the quarter-finals are worth the wait for the fans. Liverpool can win in terms of quality, but Benfica can also win if they are mentally strong enough to perform well during the match.
Benfica Vs Liverpool
I am sure enough that Liverpool will be the winner both on the first leg and also the second leg of this match. Liverpool seems to be more powerful than Benfica, moreover if we see the track record so far. Benfica is not a difficult opponent to defeat, it should be. But once more, sometimes, in football playing, there may be a different surprise that re served. We can see how many times that our prediction is failed after on game because the result may be different as what we predict. 
Chelsea versus Real Madrid fixture is definitely a 50-50 chance but I am going to lean towards the side of Chelsea mainly because they are seems to have inculcate the winning mentality in the team even at the face of adversity, they have been playing well and winning games as if the club is not under pressure from the government and football organizations. I doubt if Real Madrid team is as strong mentally as Chelsea.
One of the games that are difficult to predict who will win because both are great teams and they both have a winning mentality. If we look at their performance in their respective leagues, Chelsea is slightly better than Real Madrid, which they have always won in their last 5 matches, while Madrid won 4 times and in their last match they had to lose to Barcelona. In the first leg, I think Chelsea will be slightly above Real Madrid because they are playing at home.
Jurgen Klopp should not underestimate Benfica even though many parties put Liverpool as the favorite team to win this match. Predictions off the pitch can change direction, because during 90 minutes (first leg) anything can happen, and Liverpool players must always be aware of the surprises Benfica can give, because Barcelona also became victims of Benfica ferocity after both teams played (3-0) at the Stadio da Luz and (0-0) at the Camp Nou.
For sure if they don't want to slip, do not underestimate them. Even though playing at Da Luz Arena, but for all bet is leaning toward Liverpool, almost 70%. This is also the moment for Liverpool's revenge on 2016 ago. at that time, Liverpool lost with an aggregate of 3-0 in 16 rounds, it can happen again if the squad didn't watch the step. Benfica has managed to qualify for 8 rounds, which means they are a dark horse. 
It is going to be very likely for us to see a Liverpool - Bayern Munich draw in the semi finals. And this kind of a matchup would be really insane. This matchup would be no different than a Champions League finale. And let's say we got this matchup, then I would favour Liverpool to eliminate Bayern Munich. Because I think that Liverpool are a more credible team than Bayern Munich for even the title now. Bayern Munich sometimes have really big problems and Liverpool are the right team to benefit from those.
Looking on match at quarter final between Liverpool and Bayern Munich have potential on next stage to semi final because Liverpool vs Benfica and another match Bayern Munich vs Villareal. Talking about what the result later I want to see Liverpool as favorite candidate to lead final stage on champion league and hope Real Madrid will be against for Liverpool on final stage champion league, also still have several match before to final and looks have potential for Liverpool and Real Madrid lead to final in this season. 
Indeed Liverpool should have won this game, how could they not win, they are ahead from every angle over their opponents Benfica. In football anything can happen, but if Liverpool lose and fall in this game, I think it's a shame for them. But I don't think for Liverpool's defeat this time, I really believe they will win the game.
I can't deny, on paper Liverpool are superior to Benfica. But Liverpool must not forget, Benfica had humiliated Liverpool in the same event. Benfica qualification to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season surprised many, Nelson Verissimo troops managed to get rid of Ajax Amsterdam, who had performed well throughout the season. Jurgen Klopp should not underestimate Benfica even though many parties put Liverpool as the favorite team to win this match. Predictions off the pitch can change direction, because during 90 minutes (first leg) anything can happen, and Liverpool players must always be aware of the surprises Benfica can give, because Barcelona also became victims of Benfica ferocity after both teams played (3-0) at the Stadio da Luz and (0-0) at the Camp Nou.

But once more, sometimes, in football playing, there may be a different surprise that re served. We can see how many times that our prediction is failed after on game because the result may be different as what we predict. Liverpool should be able to beat Benfica easily, because the quality of Liverpool's players is much better than Benfica. Moreover, Liverpool has a coach
like Jurgen Klopp whose strategy has proven to be effective, therefore Liverpool's performance has been very consistent this season. There is no reason
for Liverpool to lose to Benfica, Liverpool's front line is also very productive and also deadly, so it is very likely that Liverpool can win with a big score
when dealing with Benfica. I am optimistic that Liverpool can qualify for the semifinals by winning the match in either the first leg or the second leg.
I don't see Benfica being able to put up a fight against Liverpool.
The Champions League has different pressures, equalising the EPL and UCL I don't think is appropriate. I know Tuchel is the defending champion but Anceloti he has more experience at UCL. The first leg may be chelsea will dominate with their trademark short uphill and possession. They certainly have a better mentality because they play at Stamford Bridge. But remember the second leg they will play at the Santiago Bernabeu. Of course a draw in the first leg and winning in the second leg is my prediction for Madrid.
It may go similarly with the previous match of PSG and also Real Madrid where Real Madrid may be defeated or under pressure in the first leg. But commonly an epic comes back to Real Madrid and will give certain surprise again to them, moreover when they are playing at home. This will really give big opportunities for Real Madrid to play more powerfully and optimally, in front of their big fans. That is why it may be still difficult again to redict which is better and has higher chance to win. Chelsea cannot be underestmated, so does the Real Madrid.
Liverpool will win Liverpool wiill do that, that was how I under rated Athletico Madrid against Manchester United.
I underated them because they had Cristiano Ronaldo, who failed to shoot a single shot on gaol in the game.
Games are to be decided in the field, don't rush wait for it.
The game that I'll watch is Manchester City against Athletico Madrid.

And I would say their luck was very good so they made it to the quarter finals. But I don't think they will win with an experienced team like Liverpool. Liverpool are a very experienced and strong team. Liverpool will not have a problem winning against a team like Benfica. And I guess Liverpool will get an easy 2-0 win.
Villareal did win against Juventus but they won't be able to win against Bayern Munich. I'm quite sure about it. Villareal did show great performance against Juventus but I also think it is quite stupid to compare Juventus with Bayern Munich.
And Bayern Munich is always multiple steps ahead of Villarreal. I really don't think that Villareal has any chances against Bayern Munich. Unless of course, Bayern Munich has one of their rare bad days.
Bayern Munich is a dangerous club that has a very unique level of play. In addition to being fast, agile and having a level of sharpness in attack, Bayern Munich is more dominant to bet than Juventus. For some reason Bayern Munich's attacking style is very sharp, look when the collaboration of Muller, Lewandowski and Kingsley looks beautiful.And Bayern Munich is always multiple steps ahead of Villarreal. I really don't think that Villareal has any chances against Bayern Munich. Unless of course, Bayern Munich has one of their rare bad days.

But once more, sometimes, in football playing, there may be a different surprise that re served. We can see how many times that our prediction is failed after on game because the result may be different as what we predict. Benfica are just one of the lucky teams in this round. And they are most likely to be finished by Liverpool too. The Liverpool I have known so far would do the same thing they did against Inter in the first leg. I mean that I will be waiting for Liverpool to beat them up by at least two goals in the first leg of this matchup already. And they would finish them off in Anfield by another comfortable victory. Benfica got very lucky against Ajax maybe but luck can't take you anywhere in a very huge tournament like this one.
Yes, Benfica doesn't really belong here. Anyway, they did eliminate Barcelona in the group, and they eliminated Ajax in the eighth final. That is not a world team, but just below the top of Europe. They were also very lucky there, but in the end they managed to continue. Against Liverpool it seems to be quite unlikely. Although of course you never know. It is an advantage for Liverpool that it is about 2 games.
There is just one factor not to forget here, that Benfica should be a more liberated team in psychological terms, because the club has already achieved more than planned and the team should no longer be pressured by the factor of necessarily winning, as it happens with Liverpool. Therefore, it is in such cases that the most unexpected can happen and the underdog team can knock out a clear favorite from the fight. Moreover, we are talking about only two games, which is not so much and where anything can happen and luck can also play a role here again
