Descripción

This season's Champions League Round of 16 featured a record-breaking 68 goals across Europe--much to the demise of English sides. Reigning UCL holders PSG faced off against reigning Conference League and Club World Cup winners Chelsea in a rematch from last summer's Club World Cup Final in the U.S. Real Madrid faced off against Manchester City in the knockout rounds for the 5th season in a row in what has become the modern-day UCL Classico. Bodo/Glimt and Sporting, a tie overlooked going into the Round of 16, witnessed one of the greatest UCL comebacks in history, though with abysmal commentary from Martin Tyler. Arsenal vs Leverkusen transpired more or less as expected, as did Liverpool vs Galatasaray. Bayern decimated Atalanta in a strong statement across two legs, where they scored double-digit goals on aggregate. Newcastle kept it close with Barcelona for three halves before collapsing in the 2nd half of the 2nd leg on the road. And Atletico Madrid embarrassed Spurs at the very ground where they lost the 2018/19 Final to Liverpool, though they earned a consolation in the second leg. It's the end of the round for Italian sides this season, while Spanish sides cruised to the Quarterfinals at the expense of most English clubs.
