Analysis Of UEFA Champions League 2017 Quarterfinals >>pic<< by Opinionated: 2:31pm On Mar 17, 2017 |
We are getting to the business-end of the Champions League and many of the usual suspects in recent years are still around with a few interesting teams remaining in the competition. Here are my thoughts on the quarterfinals: Atletico Madrid vs. Leicester City Going by Diego Simeone’s impressive record in this competition which has seen Atletico reach 2 finals in the last 3 years, it is difficult not to pick them to advance against gutsy Leicester City. It is not like Leicester do not have a chance, afterall they just knocked-out Sevilla which is a very good Spanish team. However, there is something about Atletico Madrid in the Champions League that makes them very hard to beat over 2 legs. Dortmund vs. Monaco I am sure football fans around the world are rubbing their palms with glee over this one. 2 attacking sides going head-to-head with Pierre Emerick Aubemeyang coming up against Radamel Falcao and company. This is a tie both sides can win and they will fancy their chances but I am giving Monaco the edge in this tie because they have shown a lot more consistency in the French Ligue 1 this season than Dortmund have in the Bundesliga. Consistency may just be what separates the 2 sides, I will not be surprised if this tie ends 11-11 on aggregate. Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid There isn’t likely going to be much fear here as 2 of European football’s heavyweights clash. Carlo Ancelotti will be returning to his previous team which is still largely unchanged from when he was around with a Bayern team that seems intent on annihilating any opposition home or away (just ask Arsenal). However, it is rare to have Real Madrid enter a tie as underdogs and I do not see them as such. This tie could be one of fine margins with some star missing a great chance or scoring a great goal being the difference. If I have to go for a winner though, it will be Bayern despite the presence of Bale, Benzema and of course World Footballer of the Year, Cristiano Ronaldo in the Real Madrid team. Juventus vs. Barcelona Barcelona really should not be here but they are and as such, I have to say they are favourites, how will Dani Alves cope with playing against his Barca friends? Juventus are a very good team and can match any team in Europe on their day. However, Barcelona are not likely to be complacent after their close shave with defeat against PSG. Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain might think they have a chance but with Luis Suarez, Neymar and Messi showing that they have the grit to go with their incredible talent, I find it difficult to see how Juventus can defeat them over 2 legs. source:http://www.opinions.ng/analysis-uefa-champions-league-2017-quarterfinals/ cc lalasticlala, mynd44 10 Likes 1 Share

![]() I wonder why people are making a lot of fuss about Leicester City's victory over Sevilla. Their victory was down to Seville's shambolic defending and poor finishing over both legs than their magnificence. What most people don't seem to know is that Sevilla has struggled of late for domestic form. Leicester's victory did not come to me as a surprise. However, Atletico Madrid is a different ball game. I see them dispatching Leicester with ease, the exception being that Leicester ride their luck, for which there's not much chance. On Madrid-Bayern, while I hate anything Madrid, I won't write them off. They seem to always find their way around the Bavarians regardless of the form they are in. So, current form does not factor in here. Anybody can win this one. As a Barca fan, it's hard to analyze this one without being biased. On the Dortmund-Monaco one, Monaco may just nick it due to their talent, strength, and character. Overall, it promises to be four thrilling ties. And whatever happens, may the best teams win! 52 Likes 4 Shares |

When I see some comments and analysis, I just smile, obviously u guys don't know ATmadrid.. It would av been better if Leicester plays any amongst the 6 other teams than ATmadrid... Even Barca prefers playing juve and Bayern prefers playing Realmadrid than ATmadrid... I love Leicester but, winning ATm in the UCL is very impossible, its even more difficult than barca winning PSG in the roun16 2ng leg... To crown it all, My signature says it all, Been saying it since the beginning of the Season 12 Likes |
