After a considerable waiting period, the action in premier intercollegiate soccer organization is back, and even with the… good part!
THE round of 16 of Champions League begins, with the first two matches including two of the biggest favorites of the event, which certainly have passable draws, which, however, hide “pitfalls”!
Specifically, initially, Manchester City hosted by Copenhagen in Denmark (22:00, COSMOTE SPORT 4). The “citizens” qualified as first from their group (Leipzig, Young Boys, Red Star) with 6/6 and are the big favorite to win the cup with the “big ears” as they are the active holders and have probably the best roster in the Europe.
However Copenhagen he is also a “tough nut”, which he proved by qualifying from a very difficult group. The Danes managed to leave out the expensive one Galatasaray and the Manchester Unitedwith the third team of the group being the Bayern Munich. So it will be a big mistake for City to underestimate her.
The other pair of the day is hers Leipzig with the Real Madrid, which will clash at the “Red Bull Arena” (10:00 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 2). The “red bulls” were the team that qualified as second in their group City, as they won all the matches except the one against the English, collecting 12 points. The Germans are a full attacking and dangerous outfit, however they are having a mediocre season so far, so they are a given underdog in the pairing.
On the other hand, the “Queen” is having an excellent season, finishing first with 6/6 in a group with Braga, Napoli and Union Berlin. Madrid also have… wings on their feet after a 4-0 win over Girona, which cemented them at the top of LaLiga. His team Carlo Ancelotti he is, as always, aiming for the title and has every chance to get there, however multiple injury problems raise questions about how long he will last, having been left without a clear stopper and with Jude Bellingham to be put out of action for the first match against Leipzig.
