While its fantastic to see Liverpool and AC Milan get easy draws, Im still nervous about upsets. Football's unpredictability is its charm. Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool, and AC Milan are worth watching, but Roma, Atalanta, and Benfica should also be considered. These teams know how to make big games exciting, so they may surprise the favourites.
Personally, I've been monitoring Liverpool's progress, and their form this year is excellent. Like we've seen before, being a favourite doesnt guarantee victory. David can defeat Goliath in football, as Sparta Prague will against Liverpool. Football is magical because anything can happen, even though Prague's odds are slim. My intellect tells me the big teams will win, but my heart wants the underdog.
It's too much if you wants the underdog to win, I don't expect Leverkusen, Liverpool and Milan will not qualify into the next round, they might lose or draw in the first leg, but there's no way they won't qualify.
Roma vs Brighton is worth to watch, I think most people think Brighton will qualify into the next round, but I'd say Roma will able to beat them. Although Roma plays without Mourinho, but Brighton is worst than them.
