Arsenal will face maybe the biggest challenge on his history, so a 5-1 vs Bayern is a really tough result to turn back. I haven't seen the match, but its said the first half the gunner could even took advantage, so strange, at half time 1-1.
I think Real Madrid will pass with not a lot of problems, but Napoli had a great team, young, not so experienced, and deserved better result than the 3-1 on the first game. Anyway the match at San Paolo promise a nice show.
Dortmund had also a not easy game vs Benfica, the penalty miss by Aubameyang, could cost a lot; anyway I think they should pass.
PSG showed so high level, that I think if they will play rest of matches just closer (lower even) than the first 4-0 they will win. So Barca had a superb challenge too, will be another big match to see on the Nou Camp.
About the other rounds, my predictions: City - Monaco Citizens should pass, but will be a big test Porto - Juventus; Juventus , clearly my favourite Atlético - Leverkusen ; Atlético, good chance to improve attack Sevilla - Leicester ; Sevilla, but think Leicester will try their best, will be also interesting

Typical Arsenal in Champions League, time for Wenger to walk way they need new manager, new ideas...
Real Madrid my tip to win Champions League, Glad to see PSG Thrash Barcelona so they should be out this season...
Really hope Monaco beat City, not a City fan at all...
Juventus should progress, Atletico will progress their a strong side, got a funny feeling Leicester will knockout Sevilla...

we will see Leicester- Sevilla and Juventus today, another comfront Buffon vs Casillas, but difficult to get better matches than the ones we enjoyed last night.
Yesterday was awesome matches, with outstanding goals, dunno what was better from the one of Saúl Ñiguez and the soft lob by Radamel Falcao. Another great night for the French atléticos Griezmann and Gameiro. Also Vrsaljko did a great game on the right back side, great goal cross pass to Torres. On the citizens Sane played the best of him I've seen, and Falcao on the Monaco showed skills as the forward he was in Atético and Porto in the past.

After a day with no surprises, just the big score global of gunners vs bayern 10-2!! but well, with a sent off. Today the biggest comeback of the European history competitions, probably. Reminds a little the end of the 92 final of Bayern- ManU, but this time barca was 3-1 on the 87, and get 3 goal to achieve the result. Epic, true... but also with two not very clear penalties. Specially Suarez looks to dive easily tonite. Di Maria also got a crucial chance before. On the second goal so beautiful Iniesta moves. The 5th was a class free kick by Neymar, very far from center, strange, looks like the keeper should do more. Last 6th, with Ter Stegen playing as forward too, what a sublime goal pass by Neymar and the local Sergi Roberto from Reus, playing normally as right back this season, although is more a midfielder, finish with the crucial goal. Dortmund also perform a easier comeback, 4-0, global 4-1 vs Benfica, big difference, a big Aubameyang show tonite

Not surprised to see Arsenal get thrashed again in Europe, time for Wenger to move on.
Good wins for Dortmund who I fancy to lift the Champions League, and for Barcelona.

Well Leicester City surprise everyone again with a 2-0 win over SEvilla and into Quarter Finals of Champions League. Cant believe the players wait for Ranieri to be sacked before they start playing football, bloody disgraceful of the players.
Should be some good quarter finals, with Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid in their...

also Monaco a big surprisde, Guardiola and City out! Incredible Leiester classification, Schmeichel saved two penalties on the round, what a keeper! Vardy played well, but dislike a lot the way he exaggerated Nasri head touch, although he got the French sent off, and then what a poor response fron Sami Nasri, he even challenged Vardy to boxing... also another time lot of rumours jokes about extra pounds of the talented Frenchman footballer. Looks pretty slower now than several years ago.
So for the next round: Real Madrid, Brcelona, Atlético de Madrid, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Leicester, Juventus, AS Monaco 3 Spanish, 2 German, one England, an Italian and a French... Leicester and Monaco are the big surprises, let's see how they play next round...

No surprises last night matches, well Real Madrid suffered much more than expected. Very lucky with referee decision, so Vidal sent off and looks like CR7 was offside on goals.
Leicester adevnture finisehd with honour, played well in the second, with old style football, but were even close to get another goal, though I thik are not on the top level, they have completed a great Champions, the best English team.
Today let's see Barca again with a top difficult challenge, beat Juve, and the 3-0. against such powerful defense. And let's see if Monaco will get into semis again, still remind the day they reach final and loose vs the Mourinho's Oporto, time ago. I think will be a very competitive match, Dortmund can play really good on the attack.
My prediction:
Barcelona 3 Juventus 1 (Juventus would qualify) AS Monaco 2 Borussia Dortmund 3 (Dortmund would qualify)
Cheers!

After yesterday's game I am wondering even more where the UEFA motto "Fair play" has gone. - Real Madrid won against Bayern with 2 off side goals - Barcelona won against PSG a few weeks ago with 2 undeserved penalties - Borussia Dortmund had to play 2 very important matches just a few hours after their bus was bombed (last week) or detained (yesterday). It's obvious players can't be focused a 100% on a match when such things happen. Matches had to be postponed.

Agree with Harry, Leicester City also went out to dubious goal decision in first leg against Atletico Madrid. Looks like UEFA not bothered.
On the plus side glad to see Juventus show Barcelona there not as good as they think they are, the Italians strangled the life out of Barca over two legs. Juve have to be favourites to lift Champions League. Like the way AS Monaco play, nice to see a smaller European team doing well.

Today will be hard for Monaco to surprise Juve, maybe if scored first, can put pressure, but the Italian aer so well in defense. But think have more options than tomorrow Atlético, I think the first and main goal for Atlético will be to stop the record of the REal, that if score tomorrow will get at least a goal on 61 matches (draw record with Heynckes-Guardiola Bayern team).
And the Real Madrid attack is so powerful that who knows when a team can avoid the whites scores. My predictions:
Juventus 1 Monaco 1 (but will cheer up the Monaco team)
Atlético de Madrid 2 Real Madrid 0 (also wish Atlético could win, but really big challenge)

Good Champions League games, Atletico starting well going 2-0 and Torres being brought down was definately a penalty but the goal should not have stood as Grezimann´s slip made the ball have two touches. But Real came back and should have scored more.
Monaco were simply outclassed by Juve over the two legs, Mbappe in my opinion was awful, very greedy several times could have passed and Monaco would have scored but decided to shoot himself. Like Juve fluid play and attacking threat with Higuain up front.
Juventus v Real Madrid should be a good final.
Europa League tonight Manchester United 1-0 up and playing at Old Trafford should win through.
