Champions League matches are difficult to predict, your predictions look great and might happen because you predicted based on the team’s current form and their quality of players, but just as the group stage happens where many big teams were surprised by small teams they underrated, we might have similar results in the knockout stage because we can’t underrate any team that have putting in more effort to make it to this stage of the competition.
However, experience will count now; teams with more Champions League experience will have upper hand over small teams with less experience.
When it comes to competing in the Champions League every team is up to the task and shouldn’t be underrated, we all witnessed Dortmund getting to the finals of the Champions League last season so anything is possible. However, experience also matters and will play a huge role in the competition for teams who have been competing at this level. For teams like Madrid who seem to know how to win games in the competition of course they have a huge advantage and are my favourites to win.
