#2 Atletico Madrid vs Juventus

This is one of the most thrilling ties of the round as Italian champions-Juventus go head to head with Spanish giants, Atletico Madrid. Atletico might consider them unlucky as once again they are up against the mighty Cristiano Ronaldo but seeing the style of play and their form heading into the knockout phase of the tournament, Atletico do hold a slight edge over The Old Lady.

Juventus added the services of the Portuguese superstar to their already star-studded squad but The Bianconeri have looked vulnerable in the group stage and haven't looked like a side favourite to win the tournament.

On the other hand, Atletico have been a rampant side and have been impressive so far. Apart from their shock drubbing at the hands of Borussia Dortmund at Westfalenstadion, the Spanish club has been rock solid. Diego Simeone is the driving force behind this great team and his sheer desire might get Atletico Madrid over the line this season.

Prediction: Atletico Madrid to beat Juventus
