Copenhagen is the Cinderella of the round of 16,<\/a> as it is by far the team with the fewest stars. It reached this round by coming second in a zone where Manchester United was eliminated, getting eight points. It scored eight goals and allowed the same.\u00a0At home, they only lost to Bayern Munich by a tight 2-1.\u00a0<\/strong>

As expected, Manchester City was a steamroller in the group stage, taking all 18 points, scoring 18 goals, and allowing seven.<\/strong>\u00a0Pep Guardiola’s men are the reigning European champions, and in the Premier League, they are on a run that has them within touching distance of the top. They are the great favorites and will count with Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leipzig is already a team accustomed to these instances, but it needs to give a blow on the table to stop being a mere entertainer. In the group stage, they got 12 points and only lost to Manchester City. They scored 13 goals and allowed 10. Currently, in the Bundesliga, they are in fifth place, far from the top, and have left much to be desired.\u00a0At home, they have seven victories and two losses in their last nine games.\u00a0<\/strong>

Real Madrid advanced to the round of 16 without a hitch, taking 18 points out of a possible 18, scoring 16 goals and conceding only seven. Midfielder Jude Bellingham was their most decisive player, scoring four goals and being a compass in midfield. They are in an intense battle with Girona in the Spanish league, something that may work against them.\u00a0The only series they played against this German team was won by 4-3.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lazio has not had a good participation in Serie A, occupying the ninth place after 22 games, so the Champions League is the best way for Maurizio Sarri to spend the year with some joy.<\/strong>\u00a0In their group phase, they finished in second place with 10 points, scoring seven goals and conceding another seven. Their most worrying injury is that of striker Mattia Zaccagni. Argentine Valentin Castellanos, who arrived as a major reinforcement this season, has not been as expected.\u00a0

Bayern M\u00fcnchen is fighting on two flanks because in the Bundesliga it has unexpected competition with Bayer Leverkusen.\u00a0<\/strong>But in the Champions League, they had a great group stage, getting 16 out of 18 points, with 12 goals scored and counting on an inspired Harry Kane, who has four goals in the competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lazio vs. Bayern M\u00fcnchen\u00a0<\/strong>Betting Pick:\u00a0Bayern M\u00fcnchen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

UEFA Champions League Round of 16:\u00a0PSG vs. Real Sociedad<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PSG already has a significant cushion in Ligue 1 and can, therefore, go all out in the series against Real Sociedad, which does not look easy given the level shown by the French team in the group stage.\u00a0They finished second with eight points in the last matchday, being overtaken by Borussia Dortmund.<\/strong>\u00a0Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, as expected, is their top scorer at European level with three goals. The Parisians look far from reaching the final.\u00a0

Real Sociedad pulled off a surprise by finishing first in a group with Inter and Benfica. The Basque team has years of work under coach Imanol Alguacil, and in the previous phase, finished with 12 points, undefeated, but with only seven goals scored, the lowest figure among the qualified clubs.\u00a0It has six unbeaten games with three consecutive goalless draws.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
