The Champions League is back and no longer is there any margin
The Champions League is back and no longer is there any margin for error among Europe's top sides. Some teams, like Manchester City, could scarcely pick a better time to show the continent how they have developed since the group stage in November. Others, like struggling Liverpool , want nothing less than more football amid their recent struggles.
Certainly this year's round of 16 has plenty of ties that promise intrigue and drama. Even without Neymar there will be plenty of star wattage when Barcelona face Paris Saint-Germain whilst Chelsea's tie with Atletico Madrid looks all the more intriguing now that Thomas Tuchel is in the Stamford Bridge dugout. Meanwhile Liverpool, one of the tournament favorites at the start of the season, look like they will be facing an almighty test against last season's semi-finalists RB Leipzig after their recent domestic struggles.
We've taken an in-depth look at those issues and made five bold predictions about the round of 16, so read on. And remember, you can stream every match on CBS All Access (soon to be rebranded as Paramount+). Select matches will also air on CBS Sports Network and the May 29 final will be broadcast on CBS.
