Good morning, Fear the Wall.
The Champions League Draw
Even though the Round of 16 hasn’t been completed yet, the matchups for the Champions League Quarterfinals have already been decided... sort of. The only matchups that we know for sure will take place are Atletico Madrid vs RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-German vs Atalanta. The remaining two matchups will depend on the results from the remaining Round of Sixteen games. Bayern Munich, who have a 3-0 aggregate lead against Chelsea, are almost certain to move on to face either Barcelona or Napoli. In the remaining tie, the results are still in question, as all four of Manchester City, Real Madrid, Olympique Lyon, and Juventus have reasonable shots at going through.
