After winning six-consecutive Ligue 1 titles and getting seven-point lead in the table this season, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is excited about the knockout round. Also, they have the advantage of having a manager that was earlier with Dortmund.But Borussia Dortmund shouldn’t be underestimated especially after its survival in the Group of Death over Inter Milan.

Chelsea vs. Bayern Munich

Chelsea surprised everyone by winning the 2012 title of Champions League with the help of interim manager Roberto Di Matteo. It was a glorious win over Bayern Munich in Munich. But Bayern is also doing well under its interim manager Hansi Flick and they’re likely to find his replacement by February. Also, the squad has the firepower to break Chelsea’s defense.

Napoli vs. Barcelona

If Napoli can come out of the crisis due to Carlo Ancelotti’s departure from the club, it could give a tough competition to Barcelona. But its GenarroGattuso is also out of the squad.

Real Madrid vs. Manchester City

These two powerhouses are the top contenders for the top position. Real Madrid with four titles in five years is more than confident and seems to have come out of post-Cristiano Ronaldo situation. On the other hand, City is also gearing up for the top position for the first time in the club history. Whoever wins, this match is going to be most exciting fixture of the season.
