8 matches in the 1/8 Champions League round bring full nuance to the participating teams. Besides the names almost certainly present in the quarterfinals after impressive results in the first leg, many teams still hope to turn the tables on the ground due to losing only with a minimum gap.

Bayern Munich and Atalanta are confident

Bayern Munich is the team closest to the ticket. "Gray lobster of Bavaria" crush Chelsea 3-0 at Stamford Bridge. In the history of the Champions League, no team has lost 3 goals at home to come from behind.

The performance of the two teams reinforces this perception. Bayern surpassed Chelsea in terms of class, people and tactics. Bundesliga representatives overwhelmed the opponent from the beginning to the end thanks to the ability to control the ball well and play offensive style, speed.

Chelsea may regret it for missed opportunities, but it is hard to deny: Bayern deserves the victory. If goalkeeper Willy Caballero did not play ecstatic, Chelsea lost worse.

Chelsea still have a chance, but in theory. Defeating Bayern 3 goals in the Allianz Arena is an unbelievable task, especially for the young and weak Chelsea on most routes. Lampard’s team lost Marcos Alonso and Jorginho in the second leg (suspended). A draw, or minimal victory in Germany can be considered a success with Chelsea.

The same situation as Chelsea is the same opponent Valencia. "Bats" lost 1-4 shattered on the course of Atalanta. Valencia did not play badly, but the lack of opportunities in the attack and the lack of concentration in the defense made the team expensive. Opportunities with Valencia still, but very fragile.

Returning to Mestalla, Valencia needs to win 3-0, or win by 4 goals. Poor performance over time has made this team not much hope.

Atalanta is creating a miracle.

Liverpool, Real Madrid, Juventus have difficulties

All three bright candidates for the Champions League, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Juventus, lost with a minimum gap in the first leg. However, the situation of the teams is different.

The 0-1 loss ratio did not make Juventus too worried when the Italian team played the second leg against Lyon at home. Juventus overwhelmed Lyon in the competition last night, but in turn Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala or Gonzalo Higuain were ungainly with opportunities.

The overwhelming force and superior experience will help Juventus not too hard to penetrate the Lyon defense in the second leg.

Ronaldo was helpless against Lyon.

Liverpool also lost 0-1 at Wanda Metropolitano of Atletico Madrid. Jurgen Klopp’s team also dominated the ball control rate, but failed to overcome the famous defensive block of Atletico. The Liverpool striker did not even hit the target once.

This result caused Liverpool to win with a difference of 2 goals in the second leg. Last season, Liverpool came from behind, won Barcelona to 4-0 at Anfield (lost 0-3 turns), so the difference of 1 goal is currently difficult to make the "Red Brigade" falter. However, the heavy play on defense of Atletico is "rock" with any opponent.

Liverpool must find a way to neutralize Atletico’s multi-layered defense to hope to protect the Champions League crown.

The most difficult is Real Madrid. Zinedine Zidane’s team lost 1-2 against Manchester City, in a match "white vulture" played quite well, but collapsed quickly in 5 minutes by the shine of Kevin de Bruyne.

Defeating Man City at Etihad is not an impossible task, but Real will not have the order of captain Sergio Ramos (get a red card directly). 90 minutes ago, City also saw that Real now does not have many "cards" to attack, and lacks a classy player to change the situation as Ronaldo. This is a problem that will give Zidane a headache.

Real Madrid (white shirt) lost at home.

Barcelona also went ahead with a 1-1 draw at Napoli. Lionel Messi and his teammates played the second leg at the Camp Nou. Even a 0-0 draw will help Barca go forward.

Paris Saint-Germain must beat Borussia Dortmund with a goal difference of 2 goals, or win 1-0 to be in the quarterfinals, the task is not easy. Meanwhile, Tottenham do not have many opportunities with a 0-1 home defeat to RB Leipzig.
