As we get closer to the end of the year, the most prestigious clubs from all over Europe are in anticipation of the draw for the round of sixteen of the UEFA Champions League.
Real Madrid is one of the teams that just finished the group stages in first place, and they are hopeful that the drawings will go in their favor. They are among the clubs who have secured the leadership position.
Real Madrid’s possible adversaries in the sixteenth round
Real Madrid has been spared the opportunity to compete against some of the best teams in the league, like Bayer Munich and Manchester City, as a result of their victory in the competition.
However, as a result of Paris Saint-Germain’s unsatisfactory performance in the group stages – they ended in second place behind Borussia Dortmund in the “Group of Death” – the Parisians are now in a position to be Real Madrid’s prospective opponents in the Round of 16.
Inter Milan is yet another possible adversary to consider. It is possible that the Italian giants may meet Real Madrid in the next round of competition. They finished in second place in Group D, behind Real Sociedad.
There is a possibility that RB Leipzig will be Los Blancos’ third most difficult opponent. Most people won’t be surprised by the fact that the German powerhouse ended in second place in Group G, behind Manchester City.
The next two teams that Real Madrid might potentially play in the Round of 16 are Lazio and PSV Eindhoven. Both of these teams are more favorable opponents for Real Madrid.
After finishing in second place in Group E, Lazio ended behind Atletico Madrid. On the other hand, PSV were able to finish first in Group B, beating Lens and Sevilla.
Finally, the scenario that would be most favorable for Real Madrid would be FC Copenhagen defeating them. A remarkable second place result in Group A was achieved by the Danish team, which was ahead of Galatasaray and Manchester United.
Copenhagen, on the other hand, is not likely to be enthusiastic about the prospect of playing Real Madrid in the subsequent round, despite the fact that this scenario is not out of the question.
The draw for the Round of 16 will take place on Monday at the House of European Football in Nyom, Switzerland, according to the stories that have been circulating.
