Champions League Preview

Next Tuesday the second leg games of Champions League's round of 16 start. One of the most exciting games of next week is definitely Manchester United vs Real Madrid. The previous game at Santiago Bernabeu ended 1-1. Anything can happen, but of course I hope that it'll be ManU that progresses. The same day the game between Borussia Dortmund and Shakhtar Donetsk will also be played. The first leg ended 2-2. On Wednesday PSG and Valencia and Juventus and Celtic play their second leg games. Celtic needs a little miracle to progress since Juventus won the last game 3-0, but between PSG and Valencia everything is still open. The previous game at Mestalla was a 2-1 victory for PSG so they do have an advantage, but who knows if the Spaniards will rise in Paris...


A week after that games like FC Barcelona vs AC Milan and Bayern Munchen vs Arsenal are played. For me the first named match is naturally the most exciting. After the disaster in the previous couple of games it'll be interesting to see if the beautiful Barca will be able to rise. As a loyal fan I'll have faith until the final whistle. Arsenal are going to have to play perfectly to progress to the next round after their 1-3 defeat to the Bavarians in London. Malaga vs Porto and Schalke vs Galatasaray will also be played. Porto won the first game 1-0 at home and Galatasaray vs Schalke was a 1-1 tie so everything is still very much open for those teams...
