In the current situation in which the football clubs find themselves, it is difficult to give a tipp. I don't know how the teams are coping with it except from the germans. But I think Bayern Munich has the best chances for the title.

In one match everything is possible.
If you have 2 matches and play bad in first match, there is always another chance in second match.
Liverpool and Roma against Barcelona and Barcelona against PSG are the best examples
Right now, in fact, all remaining clubs in CL have chance to win title but I think that Bayern and Manchester City are the best candidates for title.
Any way, it will be very interesting to watch.

I say City beats Madrid, Juventus beats lyon, so its city versus juventus. Athletico beats Leipzig, Barcelona beats Napoli, Bayern beats Chelsea, psg beats Atalanta. So, city versus juventus is hard, I would say City just because they have a possibility of not going to Europe so they might want to put everything on the field a bit more extra this time around and Madrid looks like La Liga champions so they might lack the motivation.

Barcelona versus Bayern looks a bit more Bayern to me, Barcelona normally plays very well but after the break they have lost a lot of points. So, it would be city versus Bayern, and atletico versus psg. I would say city takes Bayern and psg takes atletico as well. So it would be city versus psg finals and I feel like city could go all the way this year for sake of not going there again for a while.

I don't know about Juventus but recently I can say that they aren't the best form lately. Just about last 3 days ago they conceded 4 goals to AC Milan where they could have easily won, they haven't been that careless in a long time now and also during the first leg of their Round 16 they failed to convert even a single goal even if they have the ball most of the time. Juventus basically might be in trouble of having an early exit in the CL if they keep this kind of phase going.

Slava Ukraini!

I think that Atalanta may be happy that they got PSG. Offcourse, PSG is much stronger on paper, but they didn't had official games since March. It's difficult to expect that they will be in best condition. While Atalanta is playing amazing football, they didn't dropped single point after restart. If they will continue to play like now, I think they have good chances.
Potential quarterfinal Barca - Bayern. Well, first we have to kick out Napoli and it will be tough. Don't even talk about Bayern - they are playing probably best football in Europe right now. I'm sceptical about our chances against them.
Atletico - Leipzig looks too difficult to predict, while Juventus is favorites, especially because Lyon in same boat as PSG now.
I'm not going to talk about potential semifinals, too early. And don't forget there will be just one game, so chances for upsets is bigger.

Real need to beat City by 2 goals to advance

High chance that Real will be out since City is having outstanding performance; the requirements of 2 goal is there in addition. Most likely Man City and Bayern Munich will make the final. Well, PSG may have a chance too. I see no chance for Madrid and Barca.

The knockout stage draw was a few hours ago but we already have the 1X2 odds for the two confirmed quater finals:

odds from Fortunejack

One month to go until games kick off, so odds will change, but first impressions: no surprises here, although watch out for Atalanta odds, they've been hella solid in the Serie A this season, and with a PSG known for choking in the big stages, Atalanta ML odds might look like free money to some people Roll Eyes

alright people, make your predictions Shocked

Manchester City vs Juve in the semis. I think city will go through instead of Real, only because of the two away goals advantage, a lot has happened since city won Madrid back in February, Madrid have been unbeaten since the restart, while City have lost twice already, if City didn't have the advantage they do, i think Madrid would win....Juve will go through as well imo.

Bayern are already through Grin

, Barcelona are not in their best form, but they'll get past Lyon, Madrid should be Laliga Champions before this game, so their attention will be all about the UCL, Bayern vs Barca will be the match to watch in the quarters.

Atalanta and Athletico will complete the teams in the semi final; so here goes my prediction Grin

I don't think Real Madrid can make it against Mancity because of their good start after this pandemic period. Real is at good position but their effort would be extremely low to overthrow City after a 0:2 won match at Real home ground.
In my view, Bayern Munich side deserve the UEFA Champions as they have a very good and experience players and are pretty playing well.

Real need to beat City by 2 goals to advance, I think they are out. I have a good feeling for Bayern this season, I’m not sure why. I think they have the best balance throughout the team, a good defence, midfield & attack. Some of the other teams have great attacks but lack in other areas.

I think that Real still have chance against Manchester City.
In one match between 2 top world clubs everything is possible.
Manchester City didn't have good season and they can loose much more in this match (last chance for title since I expect that Real will become champion in Spain ).
German league finished first in Europe so Bayern will have good opportunity to rest their players for CL final and it's good advantage for them.

@DeathAngel in my personal opinion Real Madrid can yet advance and win the champions league, as they have completely transformed themselves post the covid break, and if they continue playing like how they’re playing in La Liga then they should definitely win this fixture. Further Zidane job hangs in the balance as he needs to win both La Liga and the champions league to save his job, and therefore I believe that Real Madrid player’s will be motivated to win this fixture and help him save his job.

would call for semi-finals as following:
- Real - Bayern
- Atletico - PSG

and for the final - Bayern - Atletico, and Bavarians as new Champions league winners

This is my prediction:
- City - Bayern (City is rocking right now while Real Madrid playing good but not better than City after restart)
- Atletico - Atalanta (Atalanta vs inactive PSG? It may have a chance)
Champ: Bayern

Diego Simeone and Julian Nagelsmann two coaches will give everything again. Grin

the duel is better than the match itself
I am especially looking forward to this game. I hope the spanish players do not shoot the first goal

but bayern will enter the final and win

Barcelona vs PSG will be the final (prediction, not betting on this).

I’m pissed off we got knocked out by Atletico, we would have made at least the semi final judging by the route.

Based on the squad quality and the longest break they have, PSG might have easier way to reach final than Atalanta, Atleti and Leipzig. Can't decide on the other seed since most of favorite teams are there.

From the rest of the teams that still survive in the UEFA Champions League, I predict between Real Madrid or Barcelona that will win
the UEFA Champions League this year. Because only these two Spanish teams that I think are the most mentally prepared, therefore the
quarter finals will be decisive for Real Madrid and Barcelona. If both of them make it to the semi-finals my prediction is close to reality.

It's a bit strange why they are making this draw now, when we still don't know half of teams that will play in next round. 4 round of 16 second leg games still weren't played.

This pandemic situation changed how everything is supposed to work. Given that the time frame once all the Local leagues have concluded is small until the Opening of next season. The UCL will only have August to utilize. The quarter-final and semi-final ,matches will this time also be played on a straight knockout basis in Lisbon, Portugal. No Second Leg Shocked

Important details from the article.

There are three draws: for the quarter-finals; for the semi-finals, pitting together quarter-final ties; and then a third to determine the 'home' side in the final for administrative reasons.
There are no seedings and no country protection, so teams can face opposition from the same national association.
This season's quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will be played as a straight knockout tournament in Lisbon, Portugal in August. All these ties will be single-leg fixtures. The games will be split between Benfica's Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica (which will host the final) and Sporting CP's Estádio José Alvalade.
