Inter also lost to Madrid at San Siro too. As a matter of fact, Madrid bested them home and away. Our champions league aspirations this season is important to club and the club and they wouldn't jeopardize this by underestimating Inter. Both teams have been playing really good football this season but it's quite obvious that Liverpool would have the upper hand in that fixture. My fingers are crossed for my team, Liverpool to win.
Liverpool are superior to Inter from my point of view. So it would be hard not to say that Liverpool are the favorites to win the two legs of the last 16 vs Inter especially they have not failed so far in all the group stage match. Imo, without underestimating the ability and possibility of Inter's victory, I really believe Liverpool have a greater chance of qualifying for the next round in the Champions League than the Italian team.

After the draws were repeated, we still got some interesting draws again. The most interesting ones are these:

PSG - Real Madrid
Inter - Liverpool
Atletico Madrid - Manchester United

And I will be favouring PSG, Liverpool and Manchester United in these draws. Real Madrid have been showing a really decent performance recently but PSG are one of the biggest contenders for even the CL title now. And I don't expect them to stumble against Real Madrid. Inter might make some difficulties for Liverpool in the first leg but I'm confident that Liverpool will finish the job in the second leg. And for the last draw, I expect the first leg to end in a draw. And Manchester United would beat Atletico Madrid by one goal in the worst case in Old Trafford.
I also agree with you, psg was able to make Real Madrid lose, and psg was able to step into the big 8 round, as well as manchester united, i am also optimistic that manchester united can beat atm, because atm's performance is currently unstable, if the liferpol problem can be confirmed can beat Inter Milan in the two legs of the meeting, we'll see if our predictions are right or wrong..

I agree, I think it is time for PSG to shine again, especially for Messi to defend that Ballon d'Or title, if they have the potential they have to be able against a Real Madrid commanded by a fully team leader Benzema, and Liverpool is a team that will undoubtedly pass for me, although in football anything can happen I think its time has come, and nothing to do, because Manchester United must pass for me, a CR7 that solves a game with only 1 goal must be higher and why not, reach the final of the UCL.

Manchester United fans might be a bit scared already facing Athletico Madrid.
Prior to this meeting,good thing they have Cristiano Ronaldo,as he holds the record of the only player that has an hat-trick against the defending champion's of La Liga.
Will Cristiano secure another hat trick against the Spanish giant's once more ?
This might seems to be a new era anyways.

United is not ready to handle a wily team like this that know all the tricks in the book and won't hesitate to shut up shop, sit back and deny us any countering space. Very bad match up for United. Hope Ralf gets some rhythm going by Feb. I think Atletico will beat Man U and Villarreal will beat Juventus.

but we have 2 months break
It's not just a two-month break in competition. In January, the transfer market opens again and it's time for these teams to strengthen. Most of them shouldn't make big changes, because the season has been going well. But we have teams like Man United or Benfica, for example, that will probably try to buy one or another player, with a view to improving their performance.

From the point of view of the Champions League, this will be just a break - the club has no right to include a player who has already started the current Champions League in another club.
As you can imagine, there are not many really important players on the market who can strengthen the remaining top clubs, but at the same time they have not yet participated in the Champions League this season.

PSG - Real Madrid is a matchup that everything can happen in. Of course, most people are waiting for PSG to move Real Madrid out of their way and even win the title at the end. But as of this stage of the Champions League we should get ready for surprising results also. For example, Bayern Munich were one of the biggest favourites of last season but they were eliminated by PSG.
this is the fight i look forward to in this round.
anything can happen but I will give my bet to Real Madrid now.
There's no need for a long reason because I am a fan of Madrid Cheesy Apart from that, their performance is also more impressive than PSG in the UCL.
I hope Sergio plays in this Madrid game against PSG because I haven't seen him play in a long time, besides that it would be quite epic if he played at PSG against madrid

Real Madrid's performance so far has been extraordinary under Carlo Ancelotti, they have succeeded in being at the top of the La Liga standings this season, where we can say that Real Madrid is currently on fire, but this is in contrast to their opponent Paris Saint-Germain. a player where they still haven't found a performance after the arrival of Lionel Messi to the part of the prince stadium even though they are currently at the top of the French league standings with a number of points that are quite far from their rivals, but this cannot be used as a benchmark considering the French league lower than the Spanish league, but Real Madrid should not underestimate PSG because the current material for PSG's players is much better after the arrival of Leonel Messi to the club based in the capital.this is indeed an attractive price for us to look forward to meeting the two
in terms of strength, both teams have squad depth that is qualified and there is no question of quality.
The difference is that PSG are currently still unable to maximize their star players and Poche is still not good at coaching PSG at this time because until now I feel their attacks are so monotonous and prioritize individual performance over the team.
I am optimistic that Madrid will definitely qualify for the next round

After seeing the matchups, it is going to be really difficult for me to wait for some of them for two months.  Grin  I mean especially the PSG - Real Madrid matchup. PSG are going to be the advantageous team in the first leg of this matchup. As I want them to advance, I hope that they can get a nice score at the end of the match. Even if they win by one goal, I believe that they would be advancing by finishing the job in the second leg.

Teams have the opportunity to become stronger by including more star players in the team. But now I don't think any team is ready to spend extra money. The current squad of teams like Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool is playing great. They will not buy new players. Inter Milan is a relatively weak team. They may try to get a star player in the team.

It would be a big risk to bet on any teams in these draws this early. Because maybe there will be important players getting injured at one of these teams at least. And this would make things really difficult for me. I just wanted to share my opinion about each game at this stage. I will be waiting for a near date to these games and observe the performances of the teams. Then, I would probably place some bets on some games.
Most of the peoples surely not like to bet on these matches because these all teams having very good quality and can win do something special on their day, but I am having something I love to bet on Real Madrid and Liverpool as these both teams are very good and surely can beat their opponents with their current form, but we have 2 months break which is surely going to have some impact just because of this it's hard to predict about any result but still very entertaining matches are coming for us after this break with all teams have desire to win this title but just one able to crowned and rest have to do some better for next season title.

Inter - Liverpool is also an interesting matchup as far as I can see. Liverpool should never underestimate them in both games. Otherwise, they would screw things up for themselves for sure. Inter are playing very well especially nowadays. Maybe they lost to Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabeu but I see it as a normal incident as it is difficult to beat Real Madrid there in this season. The game in Giuseppe Meazza can be really be crucial for this matchup. But after both games, I still believe in Liverpool to advance to the next stage.

Inter also lost to Madrid at San Siro too. As a matter of fact, Madrid bested them home and away. Our champions league aspirations this season is important to club and the club and they wouldn't jeopardize this by underestimating Inter. Both teams have been playing really good football this season but it's quite obvious that Liverpool would have the upper hand in that fixture. My fingers are crossed for my team, Liverpool to win.
Currently they are few teams that can match the playing power o Klopp's Liverpool. Maybe only Man city, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. You need to posses vibrant and fast players to be able to match the high press of the Liverpool team. Inter Milan may be playing well at moment, more domestically and been able to standout against their fellow country rivals, but they are not a match of Liverpool. They play a very slow game, everything about the players is just slow, even their transition and tactics. Liverpool posses fast wingers and fast fullbacks that can disable your idea of play. Besides Italian teams do not really pose as a big threat to an English side.
Agree, for some reason when the English team against the Italian team I personally feel the English team has the advantage with a fast game although indeed, there is no guarantee about that because even at Euro 2020 yesterday Italy could win the title. One thing is for sure, these two teams are currently in their best form so it is no wonder they both look good in their respective leagues so it can be said that they are almost evenly matched. Maybe one other factor that makes a difference is also about the coach, at least here Klopp has been in the team longer and that makes Klopp more promising. Unlike Simone Inzaghi who in reality this is his first season with Inter but with his performance so far it is something great achievement Simone Inzaghi also made for Inter. So yes, both have a chance in this match, player fitness and the right strategy is something that guarantees them to get good results.

I think Liverpool most danger than Real Madrid on champion league, six match on group stage with 100% winning can give proof how the best performance Liverpool at champion league in this season. I think Liverpool twice defeat AC Milan as Serie A team and the same with Inter Milan maybe most easy to defeat, I think Liverpool will pass to next stage and can win from inter milan.

When Ibra was in Inter Milan and two clubs met in Champions League. Fernado Torres destroyed Inter Milan with his speed and goals. Do you remember how dangerous El Nino was in that period? He is one of best strikers and combined very impressively with Gerrad. It's bad that they can not win Premier League together.

I think Inter Milan will be a lower club in this pair because Liverpool have better quality as well as more experience in Champions League than Inter Milan.

Both teams have been playing really good football this season but it's quite obvious that Liverpool would have the upper hand in that fixture. My fingers are crossed for my team, Liverpool to win.
I agree with reasons I said. Inter Milan are not weak but they never are too strong in Champions League. They have enough strength to challenge and bring real troubles to Liverpool but I don't think they will manage to beat Liverpool in aggregated results.

Lille have really nowhere to run from Chelsea.  Grin  Even though the draw took place two times, they still couldn't run away from Chelsea. Chelsea officials must be happy about the result but I don't assume the same for the Lille side. It will be an early goodbye for Lille as it seems but they still achieved a good success by getting past the group stage at least.

Nice to see Ramos back to the home but still worry he can play or not because after his debut on Ligue 1 later he miss many match and not become starting eleven as injury or other. Messi will faced Madrid again for the first time after move to PSG and become nice reunion to see little el clasio maybe. Keep favorite Madrid can defeat PSG with many time before Madrid success win from PSG on champion league competition.
I don't think Ramos will miss that game. Because Ramos is also very excited to play later against his former club and even said he was ready to die for PSG.
But seeing Messi and Ramos playing together in the same team is a strange thing because when they were at Barcelona and Real Madrid they often clashed. I'm just curious what Ramos will do when Messi is fouled by Real Madrid.

Inter - Liverpool
Atletico Madrid - Manchester United

And I will be favouring PSG, Liverpool and Manchester United in these draws. Real Madrid have been showing a really decent performance recently but PSG are one of the biggest contenders for even the CL title now. And I don't expect them to stumble against Real Madrid. Inter might make some difficulties for Liverpool in the first leg but I'm confident that Liverpool will finish the job in the second leg. And for the last draw, I expect the first leg to end in a draw. And Manchester United would beat Atletico Madrid by one goal in the worst case in Old Trafford.
No comment on the first two but I also expect a low scoring game between Atletico Madrid and Man United.

MU would probably win if the match is done today since they looked to be in a good momentum while Atletico continues to struggle.

Are you going to bet on these matches this early?

Of course, not.  Grin  It would be a big risk to bet on any teams in these draws this early. Because maybe there will be important players getting injured at one of these teams at least.

PSG can have a really hard time after seeing their opponent. Real Madrid are one of the most in-form teams now. They are not doing a good job only in the La Liga. They have been very good in the Champions League also so far. Maybe two of their opponents were not that tough but they succeeded in defeating Inter two times. Benzema is having one of this best times now. PSG should play really wisely against them to continue in this tournament.

The fixture is an interesting one ofcourse. I tip Real Madrid to qualify for the next round. Their form is superb both in Laliga and Champions league. When it comes to Champions league, those guys are more grounded in experience than any club.
However, they don't need to relax because they are playing against the thirsty side.
In all, I am not just happy that one of the good teams will crash out in the round 16.
But if it's my wish, PSG should succeed.
Nice to see Ramos back to the home but still worry he can play or not because after his debut on Ligue 1 later he miss many match and not become starting eleven as injury or other.
