UEFA CL, R16 return leg, 6-7 March 2018

6 March 2018

Paris St-Germain vs. Real Madrid

Two of PSG's main players in Neymar and maybe Mbappé could be missing from the lineup against the competition's title defenders Real Madrid, who managed to win the first leg in the dying minutes:

Liverpool FC vs. FC Porto

The massive 5-0 away win for Liverpool could not be expected as such, even if they are a team that under Jürgen Klopp tends to score many goals whenever they get an opportunity to do so. Porto will have a hard task on hand at Anfield Road:

Manchester City vs. FC Basel

Matters on the pitch are as good as settled, though not really a surprise, given the insane financial power the club from Manchester has, thanks to the petro-dollars from the Arabian Gulf. Nonetheless, Swiss champions FC Basel will pay a visit to Eastlands:

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Juventus Turin

Having reached a reasonable result away from home, a 2-2 draw, Spurs are hosting Juventus and will look to defend the result gained in Turin:

Chelsea vs. FC Barcelona

Antonio Conte's Chelsea will face a Barcelona team that has only once tasted defeat so far this season, and that only into the new year. The Barca team charter will be Air Europa as usual and a fan charter has been announced as an Enter Air B737-800:

FC Bayern München vs. Besiktas JK

The German serial champions got their wish in terms of an easy draw on the pitch. Besiktas may have won their group, but certainly will not be favourites against Bayern. Off the pitch, things may get spicy, with the German-Turkish encounter certainly attracting lots of Turkish supporters who live in Germany.

Sevilla FC vs. Manchester United

The two most recent winners of the Europa League go head to head at Pizjuan in what already promises to be a feisty atmosphere. The Sevilla club reportedly raised the entrance fee for the traveling Man Utd supporters in order to make as much money from them as somehow possible, with Man Utd responding in kind for the return leg.

FC Basel vs. Manchester City

While Basel might not stand a reasonable chance against the cash-boosted rivals from Manchester's Eastend, at least the local planespotters will get treated to a line-up of no less than four charter aircraft from MAN:

Juventus vs. Tottenham Hotspur

The Italian champions welcome Spurs to their fancy new stadium. With Spurs fans not really used to this level of European football it is well understandable that they are traveling in reasonable numbers from London to Italy:

Real Madrid vs. Paris St-Germain

The twice successful defending champions receive the ridiculously big spending Paris St-Germain in what looks to be an early exciting encounter. PSG fans are not known for traveling in large numbers, but the prospect of a trip to Santiago Bernabeu seemed to have changed this:

Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool FC had ups and downs in the group stages and earned a round-of-16 berth against the highly rated FC Porto. Charter flights will once more depart from Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Manchester:
