As the Champions League gets to the round of 16, hopes and aspirations
of clubs are going though the roof to win the prestigious European
elite league- The UEFA Champions League Cup.
At this stage of the competiton, war, rivalry, celebration, victory,
depression, defeats... are its hallmark. Real Madrid emerged winners
of the competiton last season after a pulsating encounter with their
city rivals, Atletico Madrid, and look favourites this season after
ending this year with another World Club Cup.
As usual one would have tipped teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid,
Bayern Munich, among others to emerge possible winners. However, in
football, you can't take anything away from any team, anytime, anyday.
Lets take a look at the Round of 16 draw and the toughest so far.
PSG vs Chelsea
Basel vs Porto
Schalke vs Real Madrid
Manchester City vs Bercelona
Juventus vs Dortmund
Bayern Leverkusen vs Atletico Madrid
Arsenal vs Monaco
From the pairing above, Manhester City-Barcelona and
Juventus-Dortmund appears the toughest. Who shall be crowned
winners this season? The battle continues...
The round of 16 kicks off from 17-25 February, 2011.
