1. Time for Bayern's annual near-elimination

It seems like Bayern have trouble in one of the knockout stages just about every year. Last year it was Arsenal, this year it will be ManUre.

I'm a little bit concerned, especially with Basti being sent off and Javi Martinez picking up a ban, but I think my boys will be okay. Our depth and the home crowd's support will be huge in the return leg. I predict a 3:1 win on aggregate for die Roten.

I'm absolutely delighted by PSG's performance. Hopefully they can bury Chelski with another 1:3 on the return.

Am I insane for thinking Dortmund still have a good chance of progressing? With Real's recent collapses against German competition over the last few years, I just don't think you can rule out Kloppo's side. It's a tall order, I know, but I'm going to say 4:3 on aggregate to Dortmund.

I would be pleased to see Atletico progress, if not for the fact that the CL winner the last two seasons have been the ones that knocked out Barcelona. Atletico are a fine team to be sure, but they're not allowed to win this year!
