UEFA Champions League 2018-19: 3 best match-ups in the Round of 16

#1 Liverpool vs Bayern Munich

Liverpool are the league leaders in the PL at the moment, and their German coach, Jurgen Klopp, would get to visit his homeland as they face Bayern in a very exciting match-up.

Bayern are 3rd on the Bundesliga table at the moment, after having recovered somewhat from a terrible start. They topped their group also comprising Ajax Amsterdam and Benfica, and are always a dangerous opposition in the Champions League.

The 5 time champions have players like Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben, and Robert Lewandowski in their attack who can trouble even the best defenders in the world on their day.

They also have some exciting young players like Serge Gnabry and Niklas Sule in their line-up. However, a relatively slow Bayern defence might be tested against the pace and guile of Mohamed Salah, Xherdan Shaqiri, and Sadio Mane.

Liverpool are also 5 times champions themselves, and one of the most exciting teams to watch in Europe. However, they had considerable difficulty in qualifying from their group, and had to beat Napoli in their last match in order to qualify.

Their defenders would be tested against the Bayern attack, but their exciting forward line gives them a slight edge in this tie. Much would also depend on the midfield battle between these two sides, as both have some hard-working players in their respective midfields.
