With the draw for the UEFA Champions League round of 16 complete.

The UEFA champions league draw 

Manchester City removes RB Leipzig- even though Leipzig will be risky on the counter with the likes of Nkunku, Szoboszlai, Werner and Silva, City are simply too excellent at preserving possession and feature an unstoppable trio of Haaland, De Bruyne and Foden.

SL Benfica gets rid of Club Brugge- Benfica haven’t lost a game all season lengthy and finished pinnacle of a group that covered French giants PSG. Therefore, I consider that the Portuguese membership will win this tie pretty with no trouble.

Real Madrid eliminates Liverpool- Ancelotti and Real have loved a number of achievement in the last few years against Klopp and Liverpool. I assume that fulfillment to preserve as Valverde, who just can’t forestall scoring screamers in the interim, has been as excellent as Vini Jr and Benzema this season.

AC Milan removes Spurs- although Conte has loved a whole lot of fulfillment vs Milan inside the past, I simply suppose that Spurs haven’t got the defenders to appearance convincing of their protecting fashion of play. The likes of Leao and Giroud will truely appearance to take advantage of that with Milan looking just like the best team who can really task Napoli for the Serie A title this season.

SSC Napoli removes Eintracht Frankfurt- Napoli have arguably been the quality facet in Europe this season as they’ve blown away groups with a few incredible attacking football no matter losing key gamers within the summer season in Koulibaly, Insigne, Mertens and Fabian. Frankfurt might do thoroughly to make it a near tie.

Chelsea gets rid of Dortmund- despite the fact that Dortmund have a totally interesting organization of younger skills headlined by Bellingham, I assume that Chelsea’s players and Graham Potter will be at the identical web page by way of then. Plus, their 1st desire wing-backs in James and Chilwell, further to Kante, could have lower back from their respective injuries.

Inter gets rid of Porto- no matter Inter’s poor start to the Serie A (they sit down 7th within the desk), I assume them to defeat Porto over 2 legs as they did manipulate to go unbeaten vs Barca inside the group stage. Also, if Lukaku is in shape and firing again by the time of these furnishings, that would supply Inter plenty greater self assurance.

PSG removes Bayern- PSG controlled to knock out Bayern 2 years in the past on away goals, and now they have a key distinction maker within the quality participant in the international- Lionel Messi. Under Galtier, PSG haven’t been as susceptible to counter assaults, but the likes of Mane, Sane and Gnabry should actually purpose a few troubles in what guarantees to be a completely close and wonderful matchup
