The Round of Comebacks: UEFA Champions League round of 16 review

The round of 16 for UEFA Champions League culminated this week sending through the final two teams into the quarter finals. The quarter finals will have Porto, Ajax, Juventus, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspurs, Barcelona FC and Liverpool.  While all the matches were great, in true Champions League fashion, the comebacks were especially a spectacle. For the first time in three years the UEFA Champions League’s trophy will have a new owner since Real Madrid crashed out to Ajax in their fixture. After winning their first leg 2-1, it seemed like business as usual but Real Madrid buckled under the pressure without Mr.Champions League himself, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ajax booked their place in the last 8.  The Manchester United vs PSG comeback was one exciting fixture. You can read the details of it

here . The summary of it is that PSG had beaten Man-U 2-0 in the first leg but were sent packing by a penalty scored by Marcus Rashford. 

Atletico just couldn’t keep their 2-0 advantage because Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick and booked Juventus a spot in the quarter finals.

 The quarter finals draw happened early this morning. Here is are the face-offs:

Manchester United vs Barcelona

Ajax vs Liverpool

Manchester City vs Spurs

Juventus vs Porto

Which teams do you think will make it to the finals? Join the discussion on our Twitter!
