After Easter, new football spectacles await in the Champions League. Although the draws were not very harsh for the favorites, at least one breathtaking battle will surely take place.
PSG - "Barcelona"
I don't think Barcelona will have much trouble. All the advantages are in the hands of the Catalans - Tito Vilanova will be there, the team's form has clearly improved after difficulties with Milan and Real, the schedule is very favorable - Celta and Mallorca are not the teams that those who will be needed in the Champions League should necessarily fight against, and the situation in La Liga is stable and favorable for Barcelona. PSG does not have big problems in Ligue 1 - although they waste points too often to live more calmly, Lyon and Marseille do it even more often. However, no matter how we evaluate it, PSG is a weaker team, and they will face challenges with strong Rennes and Montpellier. Therefore, the chances of advancing remain minimal.
Bayern - Juventus
I would guess that this will be two evenings from the series that are worth living in this world. Bayern this season is probably the best team demonstrating the best game in Europe. Their attack is simply fabulous, the team is well balanced and ambitious. They feel completely safe in the domestic front - the title is basically already in their pocket. Everyone sees them playing the final at Wembley. However, Juventus is equal to them. They will have a slightly more favorable schedule during the matches with Bayern period, although a very important Italian derby against Inter awaits them. If you really want, you can see a very minimal drop in the form of Bayern (for example, against Arsenal in Munich), Juventus form is practically optimal. Their strength should be defense and of course - the incredible atmosphere in their home stadium where the decisive battle will take place. The intuition says Juventus will win, although I probably wouldn't dare to bet for them without having their home :)
Malaga - Borussia
Although as much as I would like this season's Malaga, I still have to be fair - their chances are minimal. Of course, they will fight, want, plunder like against Porto, which showed a fantastic performance in the stadiums, but Borussia should move forward. Another likable team, but set for higher goals. The quarterfinal would be a failure for them, a team of this level should be among the top 4. Everything is in their hands - they have a stronger lineup, are in really much better form, the situation is such that they will surely not be pushed out of the trio in the Bundesliga, Stuttgart and Augsburg will not cause much headache in the coming weeks, they just have to do their job.
Real - Galatasaray
Finally, Real had some luck in this season's Champions League draws for once. They couldn't have gotten a weaker opponent. Of course, there may be some difficulties because the second leg will be played in the Istanbul hell, where it won't be easy, especially if the first leg ends in a draw or with another unexpected result. The Turks are comfortably leading their championship, and their upcoming opponents are not very impressive. Finally, Sneijder, Drogba, Melo, and Yilmaz are a gang that knows what to do with the ball. But Real is Real. In my very subjective opinion, in the past few weeks, they have been the best performing club in Europe. Another thing - they will definitely want to unleash all the anger over the fact that the season in La Liga has basically been wasted. Mourinho likes to leave after winning titles. Galatasaray is too easy an opponent for Madrid's ambitions to fall apart now.
