For this year’s UEFA Champions League round of 16, the powder is keeping dry with SSC Napoli versus Barcelona and Inter versus Atletico Madrid, arguably the two most alluring matchesups among a slate of underrated contests. Aside from that, there are also matches between RB Leipzig and Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain and Real Sociedad to anticipate, notwithstanding the lack of confrontations between two titans that seemed probable given that Inter and PSG were both unseeded in this draw. Although intriguing, FC Porto versus Arsenal, PSV Eindhoven versus Borussia Dortmund, SS Lazio versus Bayern Munich, and FC Copenhagen versus Manchester City cannot compete in terms of prestige with Napoli versus Barca or Inter versus Atleti.
