Champion’s League Last 16 Draw And Predictions

By the time the UEFA Champions League’s knockout stage begins, much could change. A winter transfer window will have come and gone, though with COVID-19 impacting club finances across Europe and some already having spent big in the summer, it remains to be seen how substantial the forthcoming moves will be. Barcelona will have held its club presidential elections, a pivotal moment for a giant in turmoil and one that could have plenty of say in how the club operates moving forward. Influential players currently out injured should return, and the form, fitness and focus levels of clubs will certainly vary to what they currently are.

All of that being said, Monday’s draw provided the first step in the roadmap for the knockout rounds. The last 16 will feature another Barcelona-PSG showdown, a battle of strengths between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, and a tough test for Liverpool in RB Leipzig.
