Champions League: A look at the remaining eight teams
The 2020-21 Champions League is now at the quarter-final stage and fans of all eight of the remaining teams will now start to feel quietly confident about their side’s chances of going on to win the tournament
Champions league Quarter Finals
The 2020-21 Champions League is now at the quarter-final stage and fans of all eight of the remaining teams will now start to feel quietly confident about their side’s chances of going on to win the tournament. However, those dreams could be shattered next month when the quarter-finals take place.For some teams, getting this far is an achievement in itself, but for others, exiting in the quarter-finals is not an option. So, read on as we take a look at all eight of the remaining teams.
Paris Saint-Germain
Last year’s finalists Paris Saint-Germain will be doing all they can to ensure they redeem their agonising 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in last year’s showpiece, which was their first appearance in a Champions League final. PSG brushed aside Barcelona in the round of 16, winning 5-2 on aggregate, and they will fear no foes in their pursuit of glory.Liverpool
Six-time champions Liverpool haven’t had the best of times domestically. However, they breezed past RB Leipzig into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, winning 4-0 on aggregate. There are bigger fish to fry in the competition if the Reds want to add a seventh title to their trophy cabinet and they will need to be at the best of their ability if they are to do so.Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich are arguably the team to beat again this year. If you do sports betting from your mobile, you’d have noticed that the German giants are favourites to win the Champions League and all of the remaining teams will want to avoid Hans-Dieter Flick’s men, who thrashed Lazio 6-2 on aggregate to reach the quarter-finals.Manchester City
Manchester City are still on the hunt for their first Champions League title. It’s somewhat of a mystery that the Premier League side are yet to use their financial backing to get their hands on Europe’s top competition. Every year seems to be the year they are tipped to win, but could this be their time? We’ll have to wait and see.Chelsea
When Chelsea were drawn to face Atlético Madrid in the round of 16 back in December, not many would have fancied the west London side’s chances of reaching the last eight. However, Thomas Tuchel, who replaced Frank Lampard, has steadied the ship and the Blues will be no pushovers in the quarter-finals.Real Madrid
Whilst Real Madrid can never truly be written off, they won’t be as feared by the rest of the pack as they once were. Zinedine Zidane’s side look disjointed at the best of times, and despite easing past Atalanta, most of the remaining teams will certainly fancy their chances against Los Blancos.Porto
Porto are the quarter-finals’ surprise package. Few would have expected the Portuguese outfit to get past Juventus and the prowess of Cristiano Ronaldo. However, they did just that, progressing to the last eight on away goals and they must not be underestimated by anyone.Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund have the ability to throw a spanner in the works. Erling Håland is every defender’s worst nightmare and keeping him at bay proves to be a difficult task. Dortmund’s downfall, however, is their leaky defence and teams will be out to exploit that at every given opportunity. Their quarter-final promises to be a goal fest.Upcoming Champions League Matches
Bayer Leverkusen
Wednesday, 10 December 2025
9:00 pm
Newcastle
We had to wait until the fourth day of the league phase to see Bayer gain momentum on the European scene. Hooked at the start by Copenhagen 2-2 and PSV Eindhoven 1-1 then soundly beaten at home by PSG 2-7, Leverkusen scored its first success at the beginning of November against Benfica 0-1 and did it again to everyone's surprise against Manchester City 0-2. These victories make it 17th in the ranking, 2 lengths from 8th and last club virtually qualified for the round of 16. At the same time at the foot of the Bundesliga podium, Kasper Hjulmand's players have since fallen in this exercise to Dortmund 1-2 and could react on Saturday in Augsburg. With in the meantime a qualification for the quarter-finals of the German Cup to the detriment of this same Dortmund team 0-1. 11th, one length from the top 8, Newcastle remains in a defeat in the Champions League, at Marseille 2-1.
This is their second setback in the league phase after the opening loss to FC Barcelona 1-2. The Magpies have only conceded goals in these oppositions, between which they have won without conceding a goal against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 0-4, Benfica 3-0 and Athletic Bilbao 2-0. It is also worth noting their current good results in the Championship. Newcastle, however, failed to score a third victory in a row in the exercise, last week against Tottenham 2-2, and hosted Burnley on Saturday in the hope of improving their position in the 14th ranking.

Benfica

9:00 pm
Napoli
30th place 3 points from the top 24 qualifying for the play-offs before the start of the 6th day, Benfica 30th remains alive in the league phase thanks to its victory acquired on the pitch of Ajax Amsterdam 0-2 two weeks ago. A first success in this campaign for the outgoing eighth finalist, previously beaten by Qarabag 2-3, Chelsea 1-0, Newcastle 3-0 and Leverkusen 0-1. At the same time, José Mourinho's players complete the podium in the Championship behind their Lisbon neighbor Sporting and FC Porto. They could also stay in the title nails on Friday at home against Sporting, in the wake of a success at Nacional 1-2. Much better placed, Napoli 20th concedes 3 points behind the top 8 and therefore a direct qualification for the round of 16.
Antonio Conte's team is paying for its irregularity in this campaign, having lost its first two European trips while securing 7 points out of 9 at home, most recently against Qarabag 2-0. On the national scene, the Neapolitans remain in the running for the title thanks to their victories against Atalanta 3-1 and AS Roma 0-1. They were able to make it three on Sunday against Juventus, in the wake of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup to the detriment of Cagliari 1-1, 10-9 tab.

Club Brugge KV

9:00 pm
Arsenal
Club Bruges is not in the mix in the Champions League, virtually 26th, 2 points behind the top 24 qualifying for the play-offs with 3 matches remaining. The Blue and Black had, however, started their campaign with a sumptuous victory over AS Monaco 4-1, before taking a small point in the following 4 matches against Atalanta 2-1, Bayern Munich 4-0, FC Barcelona 3-3 and Sporting 3-0. They thus present a record of a victory, a draw and 3 losses when launching their final sprint. Hans Vanaken and his teammates have also just come out of a bad patch on the national scene. Runners-up to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in the Championship, they made up for their recent misstep against Antwerp 0-1 defeat by beating Leuven 1-2 in the Belgian Cup and faced Saint-Trond on Saturday in a top-of-the-table shock. Opposite, Arsenal will qualify for the round of 16 unless there is an unlikely turnaround.
The outgoing semi-finalist dominates the league phase, receiving five out of five and with a solid defense, the best in the competition. He conceded his only goal two weeks ago against Bayer Munich 3-1, after successively overcoming Athletic Bilbao 0-2, Olympiakos 2-0, Atlético de Madrid 4-0 and Slavia Prague 0-3. The Gunners also dominate the debates in the Premier League with 5 points ahead of their runner-up, Manchester City. Irresistible against Brentford 2-0 last week, they were able to confirm on Saturday on the lawn of Aston Villa and thus extend their invincibility by more than three months in all competitions.

Dortmund
Wednesday, 10 December 2025
9:00 pm
Bodo/Glimt
Finalist of the 2024 edition and quarter-finalist of the last Champions League campaign, Dortmund is never mentioned among the favorite teams for the grail, and yet, we must give them credit. Buoyed by the best attack in the competition, Dortmund were in 6th place in the league phase at the start of this 6th day. To date, the Bees took possession of Villarreal's Yellow Submarine 4-0 victory, rectifying their only misstep against Manchester City 4-1 defeat. Faced with Copenhagen winning 2-4, Bilbao 4-1 and Juventus 4-4, BVB did what was necessary to collect as many points as possible. In the league, Niko Kovac's men won an important match against Leverkusen 1-2, thus rectifying the situation of their two points sharing with Stuttgart 3-3 and Hamburg 1-1. Last week, Borussia Dortmund found Leverkusen but this time in the 1/8 finals of the German Cup, result to follow. Five days later, it was the reception of Hoffenheim on the championship program, result to follow.
Semi-finalist of the Europa League last season, the Bodo/Glimt understood that the Champions League was a cut above. Just two points after 5 days, Bodo recently thought he could hold Juventus in check but failed to keep up the pace over the 2-3 period. As a reminder, the Norwegian team suffered a defeat at home against Monaco 0-1 and at Galatasaray 3-1. In the end, everything started rather well with two draws after two days, against Slavia Prague 2-2 and Tottenham 2-2. In the championship, after 30 days and a fierce fight which lasted throughout the season, the Bodo ceded its crown to Viking, for a small point.

Juventus

9:00 pm
Pafos
Juventus is doing better since the arrival on the bench of Luciano Spalletti, successor to Igor Tudor. With their new coach, the Turinese won their first success of the league phase two weeks ago, on the pitch of Bodo/Glimt 2-3. Coming after a draw at home against Sporting 1-1, this however does not allow the Piedmont club to take off in the standings. It still suffers from its poor start to the season and finds itself 22nd, tied on points with the first club virtually eliminated, before the matches of the 6th day. Since this victory in Norway, the Old Lady has moved closer to the top 5 in Serie A thanks to a success over Cagliari 2-1 and had a lot to do on Sunday in Napoli. They also logically qualified for the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup last week at the expense of Udinese 2-0.
Pafos, one of the new kids in the Champions League, surprises after 5 days. Recently defeating Villarreal 1-0 and managing to hold off AS Monaco 2-2, the Cypriot champion is in the midst of qualifying for the play-offs, in 24th position. He also made a good impression in the Championship, taking his place at the top of the ranking, and was seeking a third victory in a row on Friday against Chloraka. David Luiz and his teammates remained on victories against Aris Limassol 2-1 and Krasava 2-3. They have been undefeated in all competitions since October 27.

Qarabag
Wednesday, 10 December 2025
6:45 pm
Ajax
In a mini-championship of 36 teams, no one expected Qarabag, hat 4, to line up in 19th place at the start of this 6th day. With 7 points, the local team is doing as well as Barcelona or Napoli and even better than OM, Juventus and others. It must be said that the Azerbaijanis shocked everyone at the start of the competition by beating Benfica at the Luz 2-3 and then following up at home against Copenhagen 2-0. Back with his feet on the ground against Bilbao 3-1 defeat, Qarabag subsequently hampered Chelsea's progress 2-2. On the other hand, during the previous day, at Napoli, Qarabag could not do better than a defeat without finding the fault 2-0. Last weekend in the championship, Qarabag looked to record a fifth victory in a row against Zira with the result to follow. A few days earlier, it was Karvan at home in the 1/8 final of the Azerbaijan Cup, result to follow.
Much more experienced than their evening opponent in the Champions League, Ajax completely missed out on their competition and remained the only team without a point after 5 games. The results are therefore easy to understand, 5 defeats, against Inter initially 0-2, a correction at the Vélodrome against OM 4-0, manita at Stamford Bridge 5-1, still without a goal for the reception of Galatasaray 0-3 and against Benfica in a match that cut the bottom of the table 0-2. In the Eredivisie, same story for Ajacides, literally dropped in the title race 17 points behind PSV. Before the clashes against Groningen and Fortuna Sittard last week, Ajax had won just one of their last six games in the top flight including two defeats in a row against Utrecht 2-1 and Excelsior 1-2. The Dutch club is unrecognizable.

Real Madrid
Wednesday, 10 December 2025
9:00 pm
Manchester City
5th in the league phase, Real Madrid recovered perfectly from their defeat at Anfield against Liverpool 1-0 by beating Olympiakos in Piraeus but not without difficulty 3-4. Real Madrid have been ultra-fragile lately, as evidenced by their 2nd place in La Liga when they put Barça five points behind after the victory during the clasico at the end of October 2-1. In this Champions League, at home, Madrid beat OM on the first day 2-1 and Juventus narrowly 1-0. Note that the Merengue returned to the Bernabéu last weekend against Celta Vigo in La Liga, result to come. Before that, the players from the capital had completed a road trip of 6 away matches in all competitions 2w, 3d, 1d including a serious victory during the clash at San Mamés against Athletic Bilbao a week ago all round 0-3. Small error of course for Manchester City during the previous day. Indeed, Pep Guardiola opted for rotation against Bayer Leverkusen, but at this level, we can pay him cash.
Erling Haaland replacing at the start of the match as an example, result of the races: no goal scored, and a 0-2 home defeat. The only defeat in this C1 for the SyBlues who had started perfectly against Napoli at home 2-0, held in check at Monaco 2-2, regained confidence at Villarreal 0-2 and in total levitation against Borussia Dortmund victory 4-1. Overall, City has regained its edge but is not one of the teams in the top 8 at the start of this D6, being 9th, on the threshold of the 1/8 finals. The Mancunians know that going through the play-offs does not guarantee qualification since last year, in the 1/16th final, they fell against Real Madrid, notably from an assassin Mbappé on the return leg. Last week, Man City played two league matches against the Fulham Cottagers with a first result to come and last weekend against the Sunderland Black Cats with a result to come.

Villarreal
Wednesday, 10 December 2025
6:45 pm
FC Copenhagen
1 point only for the Yellow Submarine in this Champions League, obtained when receiving Juventus 2-2. There are clearly two Villarreals this season, the Villarreal of La Liga 3rd and the Champions League. At the heart of this C1, the Spaniards are obliged to win their last three matches to “hope” to finish in the first 24 places and thus qualify for the play-offs. Recently, traveling to Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Villarreal did not make the heavyweight defeat 4-0. This was already the case at home against Manchester City 0-2 defeat, or even at Tottenham 1-0. There was also a more than avoidable defeat against Pafos 1-0. In the league, Ernesto Valverde's men were defending a run of five straight wins against Getafe last weekend with the result to follow. A few days earlier in the week, they traveled to Antoniano, a 4th division club as part of a 1/32nd final of the Copa del Rey result to come.
Opposite, Copenhagen has collected more points than Villarreal in this league phase, 4 to be precise. The Danes offered themselves their first success in C1 against Kairat Almaty during the previous day 3-2. Before that, traveling to Tottenham, the Lions did not find the fault 0-4 defeat. A defeat which followed the disappointment at home against Dortmund 2-4 or the upgrade at Qarabag defeat 2-0. Copenhagen is 29th, now a stone's throw from 24th, Pafos. In the championship, no consistency for the visiting team which, after its defeat at Velje 2-0, had offered itself a little respite by beating Brondby 1-0 before diving back to the leader: Aarhus defeated 2-0. Last week, two matches were on the program, in the national cup against Esbjerg result to follow and in the championship last weekend against Sonderjyske result to come.
