Round-of-16 draw:

Mönchengladbach Vs Man. City
Lazio Vs Bayern
Atletico Vs Chelsea
Leipzig Vs Liverpool
Porto Vs Juventus
Barcelona Vs PSG
Sevilla Vs Dortmund
Atalanta Vs Real Madrid

my favs to qualify are in bold. What are YOUR favorites to qualify to the quarterfinals?

I agree your favourites as well, except that I'd have Barcelona and Dortmund qualify and my believe that teams shortcomings in the Champions League, but the games I mostly look forward to are Barcelona vs PSG, then Atletico vs Chelsea.

Don't be surprised Atalanta eliminates Real Madrid from the last 16, lol.
Hey, wake up, mate!! Don't dream too much!! Real Madrid won't be eliminated so easily in the Champions League. At least, not with a club like Atalanta, Real Madrid is still much better than that club. You also need to realize the current performance of Real Madrid in the last two matches. They seem already improved their performance well and ready to compete for the title again.

Honestly, Juve is lucky comparing to the other teams. Barca will face PSG and could be trashed badly if they will play like they used to do lately. Liverpool will face Leipzig which is a solid team. ATM - Chelsea is also a hard one...etc

Lucky? I call deserved.
They destroyed Barca at their home and they took the 1st spot in the group stage and so managed to get a better draw, I don't get it if Juventus wins 3-0 it's lucky but if Barca won 2-0 in Turin in the 1st game was because they were a better team?
Nope, you didn't get what we meant this time Wink
we mean by being lucky is to face Porto (no offence Porto) rather than Leipzig? ATM? M'Gladbach? or even Sevilla... rather than meaning that Juve is lucky because it won vs X team...

I'm not sure it's such a wise idea to tip Sevilla to qualify at the expense of Dortmund.  Sevilla are not really good in the Champions league unlike the Europa League where they always come out top. Also, sevilla is not the kind of team you would expect to deliver on big occasions. If you watched  the Chelsea vs Sevilla game (5th group stage game), you would know what I'm talking about. I just don't think they stand a  chance against a team like Dortmund.

Don't be surprised Atalanta eliminates Real Madrid from the last 16, lol.

I understand why you doubt Sevilla can beat Dortmund, because I admit that in terms of the quality of the players and the experience,
Dortmund are superior compared to Sevilla. But don't forget Dortmund's appearance in the Bundesliga is inconsistent, even from the last
5 matches in the Bundesliga Dortmund only managed to win once. Meanwhile, Sevilla from the last 5 matches in La Liga have only lost
once and the rest have won. So this may be a consideration for why many people prefer Sevilla over Dortmund.

I agree that Atalanta might give a surprise by dropping Real Madrid, even though the chances are very small. But Real Madrid is more
experienced in the Champions League competition, Real Madrid should be able to overcome Atalanta easily with the support of quality
players who are far above Atalanta.

The champions league is a home of surprises and this is why i would not be making a prediction yet. I believe there will be lots of surprises in the round of 16 ties by February. WITH Barcelona and Juventus as well as Madrid has to be vigilant not to be knocked out at the round of 16.

Today the draws took place and I'm sorry for Lazio who ended up against Bayern Monaco. Atalanta had the same fate as they ended up against Real Madrid. They are the strongest teams ever and I don't think they will make it through the round this time. However, we are waiting for miracles
You can say RIP for Lazio but Atalanta definitely have a chance to stay, not a big one but they aren't hopeless at least since Real Madrid performance is fluctuating.

It is hard to predict anything such longtime before, but let's have some fun.
My predictions for 8 quarterfinalists:
Bayern, PSG, Juventus, Borussia
Chelsea, Man City, Rb Lipsk and Real Cheesy

I hope we will see more surprises. Bayern vs Lazio is the clearest match for me. I go for Bayern, Liverpool, Barcelona, Juve, Sevilla, ManCity and Atalanta. I don't think that Dortmund and Real will make it to the next round.

it is a nightmare for the port to have to face juventus. what is the chance of porto to beat juventus?

Barcelona - PSG  ( no comments )Grin



They were saying the same thing last year with Lyon and 2 years ago with Ajax and sadly we all know how it ended.

Never understimate a game in the CL.

it is a nightmare for the port to have to face juventus. what is the chance of porto to beat juventus? I think the chance should be around 25%. another unlucky one was Lazio, I doubt Lazio can beat Bayern. The city may lose against monchengladbach ... and the most anticipated game will be real madrid against atalanta. I'm hoping that Real Madrid will win, but they will have to have a good defense if they want to win.

UCL Round of 16 draw result. What concerns me is Barcelona vs PSG. It's hard to predict this, but I prefer PSG to continue to the next round.
My question is whether the UCL system is still like before? does not use the Home and Away system.

my favs to qualify are in bold. What are YOUR favorites to qualify to the quarterfinals?
The drawing was pretty good, the all big teams didn't meet in the first knockout round except PSG and Barca. I still want Madrid go to the quarter-finals. This time I am interested in Leipzig which reached the semifinals last season, is this an opportunity? Although they have to fight against Liverpool who have superior quality players, in history they have never played.
Ohhh.you predict that 3 german teams will fail. only bavaria / bayern will advance one round. i think at least two german teams will reach the next round.
in corona time there is no advantage for the team to play in its own stadium. the fans don't create an atmosphere.
there will definitely be one or two surprises.

There are a lot of unknown situation until February. We don't know how corona virus will affect the season this winter. We don't know if fans will watch games in stadiums again. We don't know what impact new transfers will bring.

I like match-ups generally. As everybody else expect, I'm looking forward to Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain matches. This time Neymar will be on the other side. Smiley

I am really hyped about Atletico Madrid-Chelsea and Barcelona-PSG matchups. Atletico Madrid are going awesome in the league so far. They are very good in CL too. Chelsea are doing good with Lampard this season. They have really talented players. Both teams are powerful enough to eliminate each other. My favorite team on this matchup is Chelsea. Barcelona are having in-team problems this season. They are good in CL but not much in the league. Because they are very unstable and having problems on scoring many goals, I don't see them as the favorite team here. As for PSG, Neymar had an unfortunate injury last night. But they are playing really good as a team. So, I think that PSG can eliminate Barcelona even without Neymar.

Chelsea is not playing well in the Premier League this season, while Athletico is playing well at La Liga and in the Champions League!
This match is still a few months away, but I think Athletico will win!

PSG against Barcelona at the end of this stage we will see someone getting fired either Koeman or Tuchel as it will be something embarrassing for those two clubs to be knocked out in this early stage since both of them are contenders for this title. PSG have spent hundreds of millions trying to lift it while Barcelona is trying to get it so they can persuade Messi to stay for more seasons at Camp Nou.

this pair is the most exiting among others and many people expect many scored goals during two matches between Barcelona and PSG. but a lot depends on the form of PSG leaders because Neymar got injured recently and Mbappe thinking about leaving the club.

you need a lot of luck to win the champions league, of course the best team wins in the end, the definitive of the best can be viewed in more ways, a team that is the best because they played the best or because they performed the best, bayern munich last season in the champions League did not start well, but after the corona they were ruthless and they waltzed over every opponent, i am curious again how atalanta will do it.
