There are now 16 teams left in the fight for the 2025/2026 UEFA Champions League.
The last four teams to qualify from the round of 16 playoffs were decided this Wednesday (25).
The day began with Atalanta advancing in epic fashion. And ended with even more insanity.
The round of 16 matchups will be decided next Friday (27) starting at 8 a.m. (Brasília time).
But there are already predictions, as UEFA determined the possible pairings since the playoff draw.
It's possible, for example, to have a Barcelona vs. current champions PSG.
We could also see the already "traditional" Manchester City vs. Real Madrid once again.
The teams that qualified directly to the round of 16 and were just waiting will play at home in the round of 16.
These are Arsenal (1st), Bayern (2nd), Liverpool (3rd), Tottenham (4th), Barcelona (5th), Chelsea (6th), Sporting (7th), and Manchester City (8th).
The quarter-final and semi-final matchups are also already known. Check them out below:
