Okay, so I have listed the draw for the teams for the Round 0f 16: Paris Saint-Germain vs. Chelsea Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Bayern Munich Schalke 04 vs. Real Madrid Basel vs. Porto Manchester City vs. Barcelona Juventus vs. Borussia Dortmund Bayer Leverkusen vs. Atletico Madrid Arsenal vs. Monaco What are all of your predictions, and why?
I'll go first: Paris Saint-Germain vs Chelsea: This is tough and quite hard to predict. Both teams are very good and both have a lot of talent. But I think PSG is really hungry and really wants the revenge from the 2013-14 champions league. The reason why last time Chelsea went through is because PSG conceded a penalty. So I think PSG have what it takes and really want it, so I am predicting a small win: 4-3 for PSG on aggregate. Shakhtar Donetsk vs Bayern Munich: Donetsk is not a rubbish team, but Bayern Munich are a team with all world class players and I feel they are really hungry. Bayern Munich also have the advantage if they reach the final because it will be played in Germany. This is hardly debatable, the likes of: Robben, Muller, Lewandowski, Schweinsteiger, Ribery, Lahm, Neuer, and much more will destroy Donetsk. Bayern should win comfortably. I am predicting a 7-1 win for Bayern Munich on aggregate. I also think Bayern Munich will go on and win the whole thing. Best Club in the world at the moment. Schalke 04 vs Real Madrid: Also hardly debatable. Real Madrid have won every single game in their group and want to continue their winning streak, which should be easy against Schalke 04. Schalke is not a good team at all especially compared to Real Madrid. Kroos and Ronaldo will work really hard and lead their team to dominate Schalke. I'll go for a 5-0 win for Real Madrid on aggregate. Real Madrid are probably the second best team in the tournament and might make it to the final if they can avoid Bayern Munich before then. Basel vs Porto: Both teams are quite average, and none are really world class. I actually don't watch these teams play very often so I really don't know. But just looking at their scores, I think Porto will advance. Also with what other people's predictions are. I'll go for a 3-2 win on aggregate for Porto, but don't trust me too much on this one. Manchester City vs Barcelona: This is a little tough, but I think Barcelona have just what it takes to advance. Manchester City though is not a team to be underestimated. Aguero is a brilliant striker and is doing will for the team, but overall I think the likes of Messi, Neymar, and Suarez will overcome Manchester City. I'll go for a 4-3 win on aggregate to Barcelona. Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund: Borussia Dortmund has really gone way down hill in the Bundesliga this season. They are the second worst team and no way will they be able to beat the top Serie A team. But at the same time Dortmund is not a team to be underestimated. Juventus though know that Dortmund relies on Immobile a little and the Juve defenders know Immobile from the national team and know how to stop him. Juventus are really hungry and just are the superior team. Going for a comfortable 4-1 win on aggregate for Juventus. Bayer Leverkusen vs Atletico Madrid: Although Bayer Leverkusen has done quite well in their group, they had quite an easy one, and I don't think they have what it takes to beat Atletico Madrid. Atletico is a strong defensive team and also has Mandzukic and Torres on attack. I just don't see Leverkusen being able to pull an upset, so I am going to back Atletico up for a 5-2 win on aggregate. Arsenal vs Monaco: I think they are both average teams around the same level. Monaco has been really lucky lately in their group with finding the wins they need to top it, but I just have this feeling that their luck will turn the other way when they face Arsenal. Arsenal has also been good and came just after Dortmund because of goal difference. I think Arsenal just have what it takes to go through. I'll go for a 3-3 draw with Arsenal advancing on away goals. So what are your predictions?
I think that PSG will not advance to the CL quarter finals. Chelsea as for me has more chances to win this two-legged tie. Mourinho wants to prove his master class and will do everything to win Premiership and Champions League, and he has a lot of talents in his squad.
how I said in last year of UCL when PSG has meet Chelsea .... I tell again, PSG will win home, but Chelsea will qualify for quarterfinals with a home victory (3-1 PSG and 2-0 Chelsea in last season)
again away goal for Chelsea they will qualify in quarterfinals ... hope to see a final between Chelsea and Real Madrid, my clubs :X
All PSG need is a 2-2 draw in Chelsea which will send them through. If PSG plays as good as they did last night and throws everything at attack they can go through.
Common people who said Chelsea will go through? What just happened. PSG beat Chelsea on away goals with 10 men, the man sent off arguable their best player, and plus the referee made a lot of calls that favored Chelsea. After this I knew it was just the magic and how hungry PSG were to do this. Anyway depending on who PSG get drawn with next round I am not sure if they will make it because many of their players are suspended: Ibrahimovic, Verratti, to name a few. Plus many are a yellow card away from a ban. Unless PSG get drawn with Porto, Monaco, or Leverkusen, they will likely not make it.
Oh and before next week I am changing two of my predictions: Monaco will advance over Arsenal Leverkusen has a 50% chance of upsetting Atletico but I will not predict on this one because I have no clue at the moment.
