Villareal has already eliminate strong teams such as Juventus and next opponent from them was Bayern Munich which is clearly the favourite although most people predict Bayern will beat them because on the paper Bayern good from whole sides but Villareal won't let Bayern win with easily however if Villareal successfully beat Bayern then they will went to semi-final which is their best achievement in this competition such as on 2006
Bayern Munich is indeed seeded over Villarreal in the upcoming match, but Bayern's players must remain vigilant and must be able to maintain concentration throughout the match so as not to make mistakes that can be a gap for Villarreal, maybe Villarreal is not too difficult an opponent for Bayern but they must not underestimate their opponent because if Bayern players don't play consistently they will likely suffer the same fate as Juventus against Villarreal in the previous match.

I don't see that Villarreal can do that to Bayern Munich. It's true that they could beat favorites Juventus in the previous game, but not this time. We know that Bayern Munich are favorites not only in this game, but also in the title race. Previously they could also destroy Salzburg in the round of 16. And my prediction they will do the same in this round.

Champions League schedule has come out I can see one interesting match between Chelsea vs Real Madrid very unfortunate that 2 big teams must face in the quarter-finals
In my opinion this match is more feasible in the final we will not see one of these teams in the final especially Chelsea as last year's champion. My feelings say we will see a new champion.

I think the next matches will be as follows.
Chelsea - Real Madrid = Real Madrid
Manchester City - Atletico Madrid = Manchester City
Villarreal - Bayern Münih = Bayern Munich
Benfica - Liverpool = Liverpool
It will be a very easy match for Bayern Munich, as well as for Liverpool.
The toughest match will be Chelsea vs Madrid.
Disagree with predicting on match Manchester City - Atletico Madrid = Manchester City and I think prefer with Atletico Madrid will qualify to semifinal than Manchester City. I see have potential for Atletico Madrid in this season after success defeating rivals City as Manchester United and looks easy because have the same game play between Manchester City and Manchester United, actually Manchester City have to focus with domestic league after and Atletico Madrid have not chance with domestic league winner and keep focus on champion league only for defeating Manchester City.Chelsea - Real Madrid = Real Madrid
Manchester City - Atletico Madrid = Manchester City
Villarreal - Bayern Münih = Bayern Munich
Benfica - Liverpool = Liverpool
It will be a very easy match for Bayern Munich, as well as for Liverpool.

I have no doubts for Manchester City's win over Alletico even I think Manchester City will be able to win it easily.
I myself am a favorite for Manchester City to win the UCL this season and with the game and also the quality of players they have this season it is very possible.

The two more interesting matches are Real Madrid vs Chelsea and Manchester City vs Atletico Madrid. They will fight for tickets to the semifinals and beat each other. In this round we are presented with the dominance of teams from England and also Spain. They both have three teams that will compete in this round.
It is possible that the other two matches will be easier, namely Liverpool and Bayern Munich will qualify.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich do get opponents which at first glance is easy. But that can't be a guarantee that they will win and qualify easily, it could be that they feel a surprising result. The key is not to underestimate the opponents they will face now, even though they are above Villarreal and Benfica but they must remain focused on the match later.

Beautiful because Villarreal and Benfica are not the favorite teams against Bayern Munich and Liverpool. But have to believe that Bayern Munich and Liverpool will not be easy against them although in general Bayern Munich and Liverpool are above Villarreal and Benfica, but I will be sure that they will surprise Bayern Munich and Liverpool. Chelsea - Real Madrid = Real Madrid
Manchester City - Atletico Madrid = Manchester City
Villarreal - Bayern Münih = Bayern Munich
Benfica - Liverpool = Liverpool
It will be a very easy match for Bayern Munich, as well as for Liverpool.

I don't understand why everyone as one is screaming that Real Madrid will win the match against Chesley... Does everyone think the English club are bad enough to face the Spaniards? Totally disagree, for me the priority is more on the London team than on Real Madrid, even though Real Madrid are in great form at the moment. The priority is for Chelsea to make it to the final at all
Why are you so surprised? Do you think Real Madrid is a small club? Don't forget that Real Madrid is an experienced club to win UCL trophy and they can reach this round by beating a strong team like PSG. So, it is very understandable if many people think Real Madrid is the favorite team to beat Chelsea. Real Madrid also has Benzema who performed amazingly during this season and he even could make a hat-rick in the last match in UCL. Normal people must consider this as the reason to support Real Madrid, bro. 
while Chelsea only won 2 trophies. From this we already know that Real Madrid is much more experienced. So it's not because they underestimate
the team from the Premier League, but why people choose Real Madrid must have strong reasons. As a neutral person, I choose Real Madrid over
Chelsea, because I see Chelsea's performance is still below Real Madrid's this year. During the group phase, Real Madrid qualified as winners of
group D, while Chelsea qualified as runner up in group H. Then Chelsea qualified for the quarter-finals after beating Lille, while Real Madrid managed
to beat PSG to qualify for the quarter-finals. This has proven that Real Madrid's performance is slightly better than Chelsea, so I chose Real Madrid
to qualify for the semifinals.
If we consider the past performances of these two teams, then of course Real Madrid should be ahead. There is no more experienced team than Real Madrid on a platform like the Champions League. They are much more experienced than Chelsea.
Real Madrid is now a top-of-the-point table in La Liga. Chelsea, on the other hand, is in third place. And at the top of the table is Chelsea far behind Manchester City.
Carlo Ancelotti's strategy is probably better than Tuchel's match tactics. I say this because, despite trailing PSG in the first leg, Real Madrid beat PSG in the second leg.
So, above all, Real Madrid can be ahead of Chelsea. Yet Chelsea are not a weak team. Of course they will fight for victory.
soon the draw for the last 8 of the UEFA Champions League will be held. Hopefully 3 teams from England can face 3 teams from Spain. it would be very interesting if one of the draws brought together Manchester City vs Real Madrid.
We have 3 teams from England & Spain and 1 teams from Portugal & Germany.I just hope that we won't see any games of teams of the same country (England vs England or Spain vs Spain)
Of the 8 teams that will compete in the last 8 of the Champions League, I see Villarreal and Benfica as the teams that other teams want to face. I don't mean to underestimate these two teams, but they are the weakest compared to the other contestants. And even that is not a guarantee when the other 6 teams meet them, they will win. It could be like what happened to Juventus in the round of 16.
You are right, at least bookmakers also see it like that. The quotes for both teams are by far the highest (Villareal 51, Benfica 67). All the Spanish teams are outisders compared to the English teams and Bayern Munich

Juventus have just disappointed all of their supporters by getting a huge loss like 3-0 home. Villarreal were going to make difficulties for them surely but this was beyond my expectation honestly. I don't know how this game came to this point in only fifteen minutes. Juventus were keeping the game under control mostly but they still failed big time. After the Vlahovic transfer, I was hoping for Juventus to be more successful but they need to be much better than this as a team.
I'm a Juventus fan and I know the power of this Juventus, is nothing near a strong team.
We have a very weak midfield and we were missing 10 players, we are doing all the season with the top 2 players Chiesa and Dybala.
Juventus can be reborn only if they can/will change 2 of 3 people in the midfield.
Juventus is a good team that has always performed very well but this time team need to work very hard like the Juventus of before. I know midfielders are not very too strong but I still believe that Juventus can definitely come back strong as before. It can be easy if the players work very hard to make the team better.
Honestly I don't think that Liverpool and Bayern Munich will have big problems in the quarter finals. Benfica and Villarreal can't fight back against them too much especially in the rematches.
Exactly. Liverpool and Bayern are too strong teams for Benefica and Villareal. Of course, both Liverpool and Bayern won't have any difficulties fighting with smaller teams, they have more quality players and great coaches. I won't debate about the result of these two matches, clearly Bayern and Liverpool are the favorite ones.Manchester City also shouldn't have a big difficulty against Atletico Madrid. They can finish it in the first leg.
I'm not sure City will be easy to defeat Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid has a good reputation in UCL, at least they ever reached the final. Atletico Madrid also has improved their performance lately, I bet they will play much better in this round.
The Chelsea - Real Madrid draw is really hard to make a prediction I think. Real Madrid's being solid shouldn't misguide people about this. I would like to remind everyone who think in that way that Chelsea won the title the last time even though there were much better performing teams then. It is all about playing smart here. You can't win every time you play dominantly. And I guess the Ajax and Juventus examples must be enough for what I'm trying to say. Real Madrid should watch out for a big threat this time not to be eliminated by Chelsea two times in a row.
True , despite chelsea struggling financially and due the politics heated as of impact abramovich strong relationship with putin andd the non sense uk sanctions , they managed to keep up the good performance , one more time beat real madrid to lift the champions league title back to back and they could show to the world how football should be done away from politics.I bet real madrid wont underestimated chelsea as well as the last time the two meet , chelsea knocked real madrid out.

I think Liverpool has the easiest of ties. Even in the Arsenal game, they didn't play too good but they got the goals they needed to win. Benfica will not be a difficult team to beat Liverpool is more experienced than their rivals. In my opinion Liverpool can easily move to semi finals. Liverpool is the favorite to win, Benfica do not stand a chance
I think you understimate Benfica too much. Yeah, LFC is big favorites, but I woludn't say that Benfica don't stand a chance. They already kicked out Ajax, which is very solid team this season. IMO, Bayern got easiest opponent. Villarreal is dark horse of tournament, they already eliminated Juventus quite unexpected, but I don't see chances for them against Bayern. Honestly I don't think that Liverpool and Bayern Munich will have big problems in the quarter finals. Benfica and Villarreal can't fight back against them too much especially in the rematches. Manchester City also shouldn't have a big difficulty against Atletico Madrid. They can finish it in the first leg. But it is very hard to tell what can happen in the Chelsea - Real Madrid game.
Most lucky for Liverpool and Bayern Munich with quarter final UEFA Champion League drawing because face with look as mediocre team although on football always have unpredictable about the winner, but against Benfica is not really hard for Liverpool and they have good chance to semi final and waiting by Bayern Munich beside against with Villareal on quarter final, have listed about semifinal stage and looks not any drawing again later when team success trough to semifinal just waiting which one team become against on semifinal although still have possibility for Benfica and Villareal take to semifinal.

The Chelsea - Real Madrid draw is really hard to make a prediction I think.
Yeah, it can be said that this match will be the most interesting one and most difficult to predict than others.Their power and performance so far are not really high indifference. Each club has its special power that may defeat each other.
But, If I need to bet, I think I will bet for Real Madrid as the winner, in my opinion, the midfielders of Real Madrid are more powerful and better. in this case. But once more, the match is a match, football is a football where the ways how every player as a team will play together in live match will really show the reality.
For other matches, I think it will be:
- Manchester City
- FC Bayern
- Liverpool
