UEFA CL, R16 return leg, 5-6 March 2019

5 March 2019

Real Madrid vs. Ajax Amsterdam

Sergio Ramos will not be there for the return leg after his yellow card saga, but if reputation is only a guide to go with, nothing should go wrong for the defending champions here.

One Maleth-Aero Boeing 737-500 seems very little for a Man United away trip, so make sure you keep your eyes open for more:

While Liverpool seems to be on a good run domestically, Bayern has been strangely struggling this season. The latter won their Champions League convincingly however, while Liverpool has had to fight a bit more against PSG, Red Star Belgrade and Napoli:

AS Roma vs. FC Porto

The Portuguese club travels to what was last years conquerors of no more than the might FC Barcelona. Porto prevailed from a group that contained Schalke 04 from Germany, Galatasaray from Turkey and Lokomotiv Moscow, the Russian champions. Hosts Roma finished in second position behind Real Madrid, which is no shame and beat Viktoria Plzen and CSKA to qualify for the round of 16.

Manchester United vs. Paris St-Germain

After the well-publicised departure of one José Mourinho, Man United has found some form again. Caretaker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is still undefeated and will surely be looking to defeat PSG too. ManU found themselves in a pool with Juventus, Valencia and Swiss champions Young Boys, where they finished second behind Juve. On the other hand, PSG finished on top of a tight group against Liverpool, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade.

Juventus vs. AC Milan (in Jeddah)

The Italian Serie A had the great idea to take the Italian Super Cup to Saudi Arabia, after ventures to other venues like China and Qatar before. While the Italian public was obviously snubbed once again, at least there were some fancy travel options to be seen, with Boeing 767-300/ER ZS-NEX for Juventus and Airbus A340-300 9H-BIG for Milan:

There is only the group winner's spot at stake in this game, with Atlético already bound for the Round of 16 and Brugge to continue this season's European adventures in the Europa League Round of 32:

AS Monaco vs. Borussia Dortmund

The French team is not only struggling in the league this season, but also in the Champions League. Dortmund on the other hand has secured a spot in the knock-out stage already and will look to finish the group stage on a high, before going into the European winter break:

Group B

FC Barcelona vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs travel to Barcelona in the knowledge that most probably they will have to win this last fixture to make the round of 16 in 2019. This task will be a difficult one though, with Barcelona unbeaten at home in European competitions for a number of years now:

Red Star Belgrade vs. Paris St-Germain

The French-Arabian giants from the edge of the Bois de Boulogne in Paris travel to Belgrade, where surely they will face a feisty atmosphere. PSG would be best off with a positive result, because otherwise they are dependent on the outcome of the parallel match between Napoli and Liverpool.

Liverpool FC vs. SSC Napoli

For this most eagerly anticipated encounter at Anfield Road, the Italian side will arrive with AlbaStar and one of their Boeing 737-800s. Mind you, it is Liverpool that absolutely needs a positive result here:
