👀 Liverpool will be looking to deny Bayern reaching the quarterfinals, something the German side have achieved every year since 2011/12.

22 – Cristiano #Ronaldo netted 22 goals vs Atletico Madrid, only against Getafe (23) and Sevilla (27) he scored more goals in his career. Weapon. #AtletiJuve #UCLDraw

Ajax vs Real Madrid would be fun to watch. Not expecting less than a cracker but for Juventus vs Atletico, expecting nothing less than a Ronaldo masterclass.
VAMOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Schalke 04 vs Man City is pretty straight forward. The German outfit for all their resurgence will prove to be under matched to pep’s gallant outfit.
A positive result in the first leg might push their luck so far but expect it to be settled at the Etihad.#UCLDraw#NFFCShow
