So with Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Juventus, PSG, Barcelona and Galatasaray already in the hat, who is likely to join them from the remaining two last 16 ties?
Bayern Munich lead Arsenal 3-1 from the first leg and it would take a very brave man to bet against the Germans reaching the quarters. I think a 2-0 win for Bayern is what we will see tonight.
Malaga are a goal behind going into their game with portugese giants FC Porto. This game will be a tougher one to call, but I expect a 1-1 draw being enough to see Porto into the quarters.
If these two teams do make it the quarter finals will look like this….
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich,Juventus, FC Porto, Borussia Dortmund,Galatasaray and PSG.
Picking a winner from that will be hard. The only guarentee is the final at Wembley in May will be a cracker.
