UEFA Champions League: Arsenal faces the German destroyers; AC Milan up against Atletico Madrid

Last night saw the away teams taking significant steps towards qualification to the quarter finals and tonight Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid would be looking to repeat the same. PSG steamrolled Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 in a one-sided tie to take control of the fixture while Barcelona were clinical enough to win away at the 10-men Manchester City 2-0.

Tonight arguably the strongest team in whole of Europe, Bayern Munich will play against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in a repeat of last season’s Round of 16. Arsenal know very that they have to win tonight in order to have a chance to advance to the next round at the expense of the irrepressible defending champions.

The other match of the night will see AC Milan welcoming Atletico Madrid to the San Siro, Italy. AC Milan have been a shadow of their former might this season with disappointing results in the Serie-A and they need to do well in the Champions League to salvage something from the season. But Milan’s path to the quarter finals would be very tough considering they are up against one of the best teams in Europe at the moment. Atletico Madrid are in imperious form this season, going head to head against the more illustrious Real Madrid and Barcelona in the La Liga and were equally impressive in the Group stages of the Champions League.
