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.
