After a two-week break, the UEFA Champions League round of 16 matches are back. The continental tournament will feature second leg matches.
On Tuesday, once again, Munich's "Bayern" will face London's "Arsenal" and Madrid's "Atletico" will seek to prove their superiority against "Milan".
Munich's "Bayern" - London's "Arsenal"
This time, the clash between these two teams moves to Munich, where the "Bayern" club has been unstoppable this season. Arsene Wenger's proteges have nowhere to go, while the Bavarians just need to maintain their advantage.
The first leg at the "Emirates" stadium ended with a convincing victory led by Josep Guardiola's team with a score of 0-2. Crucial goals were scored by Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller. Interestingly, players from both teams had the opportunity to score from the penalty spot.
The last matches on the domestic front were successful for both the "Bayern" and "Arsenal" players. The latter eliminated Liverpool's "Everton" from the FA Cup with a 4-1 result, while Munich's "Bayern" demolished "Wolfsburg" in the German "Bundesliga".
In this match, only the guests from London will have problems, as "Bayern" club has no players injured, apart from Holger Badstuber. Meanwhile, "Gunners" will be without goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, Kim Kallstrom, Theo Walcott, Abou Diaby, and Nacho Monreal, all of whom received red cards in the first leg.
Match prediction: "Bayern" is undoubtedly the favorite. Playing at the full house of the Bavarian stadium will be even harder for the "Arsenal" team. With a depleted lineup, Guardiola's proteges should celebrate another victory with a score of 2-0.
Madrid's "Atletico" - "Milan"
A fierce battle awaits in the Spanish capital. The home advantage at the "Vicente Calderon" fortress will be held by the winners of the King's Cup, who managed to defeat the Milanese team in Italy.
In Milan, Diego Simeone's proteges celebrated a narrow victory. After a hard-fought battle, Diego Costa scored the only goal at the end of the match, but the chances for "Rossoneri" to reach the quarter-finals are not lost, although the results in Italy are very poor.
"Atletico" celebrated a convincing victory against Vigo's "Celta" in the "Primera" championship over the weekend, thanks to David Villa's two goals, while "Milan" suffered a 1-0 loss to the "Udinese" club, which was their second consecutive defeat in the "Serie A" championship.
Clarence Seedorf will have to do without the captain, Riccardo Montolivo, who plays as a defender. "Rojiblancos" fans will not see Tiago and Javier Manquillo on their field, but the team doesn't have any major losses before the clash.
Match prediction: "Atletico" will enter the field without much pressure, while it seems like "Milan" players have nowhere to go, but they will probably lack one goal to advance. Prediction - 1-1.
