Story lines for the round of 16
1. Can Liverpool return to dominant form?
Liverpool drove through the competition phase and found no problem winning any game, except for their essentially dead-rubber game on MatchDay 8. However, the last few months have not exactly been smoothly sailed for the Reds, moderate has set a bit, they have not dropped any games in the EFL Cup final, but the withholding control that has been incorporated.
However, as long as Mohamed Salah is there, they will be difficult to count. The Egypt International is a maximum of 30 goals and 22 assists in all competitions, so that it is not only brought into the conversation for the Ballon d’Or, but perhaps compile the biggest season ever of a Premier League striker. It will not be an easy achievement against Paris Saint-Germain, but the French champions have been vulnerable in the course of the Champions League season and that is perhaps the perfect design for Salah.
2. Madrid Derby, Champions League edition
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will have to mix up for a place in the last eight, which in itself is intriguing. However, the current state of both teams makes this a very fascinating draw.
The reigning champions can take some positives of expeling Manchester City in the knockout phase playoffs, but this season it has not been easy for the Realrid-lined Realrid. Look no further than the 2-1 loss on Saturday for Real Betis in La Liga Play, a match in which they were not only surpassed 18-9 but was completely surpassed by the opposition. That loss came after A handful of important defenders returned from a injury, which indicates that the imbalance that Los Blancos has plagued for a year and could get stuck for a while longer.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid has been a surprising competition in both La Liga and the Champions League. They were in the top eight during the competition phase and are currently only one point behind Barcelona in La Liga and found the new life in the tried and tested system of Diego Simeone. It helps that their goal scorers are in good shape all season, with each of Julian Alvarez, Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sorloth score 13 or more goals this season. They are a formidable challenge of Real Madrid, which they have not yet defeated this season.
3. Are Bayern Munich in good condition?
Bayern Munich may have emerged from the play -offs of the knockout phase, but a limited victory over a competitive Celtic side is not exactly the mood of trust manager Vincent Kompany looking in his first season to lead. The challenge to stay in the Champions League will be more difficult this week when they record the team that beats them to the Bundesliga title last season – Bayer Leverkusen.
A few weeks ago, these two faced each other in competition game, a game in which Bayern was lucky to leave 0-0. Leverkusen generated 2.16 expected goals, but succeeded in one way or another not To score, while Bayern only made two shots and was unable to put one on frame. The eight -pointed shortage in the Bundesliga is perhaps too much for them to overcome at this pace, but the steady form of liverusen in the competition phase teases that they can have the goods to get one on Bayern.
As a result, the Kompany side has much to prove in this draw. There is a lot of discussion that they can hang in the Bundesliga, but they did not stack well against European competitions. The round of 16 offers an opportunity to correct the course – or to prove that it goes one step behind.
