The Champions League will have stop after the end of the phase of groups, that has left 16 teams classified for eighth of final. FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Juventus, RB Leipzig, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool and Valencia, as first of group; and Napoli, Borussia Dortmund, Olympique of Lyon, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Athletic of Madrid, Atalanta and Tottenham, like seconds.
The pairings of eighth of final, that will begin to play in February, will confront to the first of group with the seconds. Although, this yes, with some restrictions: they will not be able to measure between if teams of the same league neither neither those that already coincided in the phase of groups finalised this same week.
The draw of the eighth is foreseen for next Monday and could leave some crosses with some morbo. In Barcelona key, there is one that stands out especially: the hypothetical clash against the Tottenham Hotspur, since it would suppose a new return of José Mourinho to the Camp Nou. The Portuguese would go back after his convulsa stage in the Real Madrid, in which it did not leave good flavour of mouth to the barcelonismo.
Another of these crosses that would be curious to see would be against Chelsea, a club with which the FC Barcelona has a big rivalry from the past decade by mythical clashes in eliminatory of the League of Champions. There were them when precisely Mourinho was trainer and accused to Leo Messi to do "pure theatre" or also in the season of the triplete of Pep Guardiola, with the 'Iniestazo' in Stamford Bridge.
Duels with morbo of the Real Madrid
In the white group also could star some duels 'spicy'. The more remarcable would be against the Juventus of Turín, since it would suppose the turn of Cristiano Ronaldo to Santiago Bernabéu, this time like rival. Besides, Zinedine Zidane would measure to the team in which it achieved to triumph and consecrate. For more inri, the bianconeros have win of revancha by the two finals of Champions stray in front of the Madrilenian.
Another of the teams to which could measure the Real Madrid would be the Manchester City, with a consistent clash with Pep Guardiola. The Catalan technician was a nightmare for the whites when it directed to the FC Barcelona and could be his rival again. From his goodbye of the Barcelona club, the one of Santpedor has measured once to the merengues, although it was with the Bayern of Munich, going out victorious the whites.
