With the arrival of the new UCL games, fans are eager to watch the European legends beating each other. Ahead of the games, there are intense storylines that captivated the viewers. Particularly, the Real Madrid vs Manchester City rivalry is an iconic rivalry that has fueled fans ever since the beginning. When Haaland meets Mbapp\u00e9 on the ground, the game will be legendary as two star strikers compete for the ball. Moreover, the games between PSG and Chelsea, Newcastle and Barcelona are also expected to be great. Let&#8217;s look at which teams are qualifying for the Round of 8 in the preview below.

Premier League clubs absolutely dominated the standings, having captured five spots within the top 8. Other teams such as Real Madrid, PSG&lt; Inter Milan, Juventus, etc were placed in from 9th to 24th spots. After that, the two-legged playoff qualification took place, in which legends like Inter Milan disappointed fans. Let&#8217;s look at them in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rise-of-the-underdogs\">Rise of the Underdogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Legendary clubs like Dortmund, Juventus, and Inter Milan absolutely lost their form in the playoff qualification. On the other hand, European underdog teams such as Galatasaray and Bodo\/Glimt dominated the giants. Especially, Inter Milan struggled in both legs, losing the game to Bodo\/Glimt. In a match against Galatasaray, Juventus conceded more goals in the 1st leg, which ultimately led to them losing. Similarly, Borussia Dortmund also lost to Atalanta on aggregate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-real-madrid-and-psg-s-narrow-luck\">Real Madrid and PSG&#8217;s Narrow Luck<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Real Madrid fought hard against Benfica to stay ahead, as the latter was not so far behind in the game. They stayed close to Real Madrid in both legs, costing Real Madrid a qualification. However, Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior saved both games and won a qualification to the round of 16. Likewise, PSG won Monaco in the first leg. It was more like a domestic match as both teams are from Ligue 1. Monaco scored twice, but PSG&#8217;s game was solid; they earned 3 goals. However, Monaco almost closed the aggregate gap in the second leg. But Jordan Teze scored the decisive goal in the 91st minute and drove the team to the Round of 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uefa-champions-league-2025-26-round-of-16-leg-1-schedule\">UEFA Champions League 2025-26 &#8211; Round of 16 Leg 1 Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-galatasaray-vs-liverpool\">Galatasaray vs Liverpool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 10 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 01:45 PM ET | 10:45 AM PST | 11:15 PM IST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Rams Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-newcastle-vs-barcelona\">Newcastle vs Barcelona<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 10 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 04:00 PM ET | 01:00 PM PST | 01:30 AM IST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Venue:<\/strong> St. James Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-atletico-madrid-vs-tottenham-hotspur\">Atletico Madrid vs Tottenham Hotspur<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 10 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 04:00 PM ET | 01:00 PM PST | 01:30 AM IST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Riyadh Air Metropolitano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-atalanta-vs-bayern-munich\">Atalanta vs Bayern Munich<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 10 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 04:00 PM ET | 01:00 PM PST | 01:30 AM IST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Gewiss Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leverkusen-vs-arsenal\">Leverkusen vs Arsenal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 11 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 01:45 PM ET | 10:45 AM PST | 11:15 PM IST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Venue:<\/strong> BayArena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-psg-vs-chelsea\">PSG vs Chelsea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 11 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 04:00 PM ET | 01:00 PM PST | 01:30 AM IST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bodo-glimt-vs-sporting\">Bodo\/Glimt vs Sporting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 11 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 04:00 PM ET | 01:00 PM PST | 01:30 AM IST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Aspmyra Stadion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-real-madrid-vs-manchester-city\">Real Madrid vs Manchester City<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 11 March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 04:00 PM ET | 01:00 PM PST | 01:30 AM IST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Estadio Bernab\u00e9u.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uefa-champions-league-round-of-16-leg-1-predictions\">UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Leg 1 Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-newcastle-vs-barcelona-predictions\">Newcastle vs Barcelona Predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-predicted-lineups-for-newcastle\">Predicted Lineups for Newcastle<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Players<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goalkeeper<\/td><td>Nick Pope<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defenders<\/td><td>Kieran Trippier, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman, Lewis Hall<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Midfielders<\/td><td>Joe Willock, Sandro Tonali, Joelinton<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Forwards<\/td><td>Harvey Barnes, Yoane Wissa, Anthony Gordon<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-predicted-lineups-for-barcelona\">Predicted Lineups for Barcelona<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Players<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goalkeeper<\/td><td>Joan Garc\u00eda<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defenders<\/td><td>Eric Garc\u00eda,&nbsp;Pau Cubars\u00ed,&nbsp;Gerard Mart\u00edn,&nbsp;Jo\u00e3o Cancelo<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Midfielders<\/td><td>Pedri,&nbsp;Marc Casad\u00f3,&nbsp;Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Forwards<\/td><td>Lamine Yamal,&nbsp;Raphinha,&nbsp;Robert Lewandowski<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-newcastle-vs-barcelona-preview\">Newcastle vs Barcelona Preview<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Newcastle is having an average league position in the current Premier League season. Their most recent form is not as good as Barcelona&#8217;s. They have been inconsistent, which can be seen in their past five games. Moreover, their form in the Premier League is also not great, if not worse. So, seeing both sides, it is very apparent that Newcastle will have a tough time outscoring Barcelona. Barcelona, on the other hand, is far better than Newcastle. Barca has the most goals in La Liga this season. They also have the second-highest goals scored in the UCL this season. This makes them an intimidating offensive side with a higher probability of scoring. As a result, Barcelona has the advantage in this Champions League game. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The Pick:<\/em><\/strong><em> Barcelona.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-atalanta-vs-bayern-munich-predictions\">Atalanta vs Bayern Munich Predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-predicted-lineups-for-atalanta\">Predicted Lineups for Atalanta<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Players<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goalkeepers<\/td><td>Marco Carnesecchi<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defenders<\/td><td>Odilon Kossounou, Isak Hien, Sead Kola\u0161inac,<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Midfielders<\/td><td>Marten de Roon, Mario Pa\u0161ali\u0107, Lazar Samard\u017ei\u0107, Nicola Zalewski<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Forwards<\/td><td>Gianluca Scamacca, Charles De Ketelaere, Nikola Krstovi\u0107,<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-predicted-lineups-for-bayern-munich\">Predicted Lineups for Bayern Munich<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Players<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goalkeepers<\/td><td>Jonas Urbig<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defenders<\/td><td>Josip Stani\u0161i\u0107, Dayot Upamecano, Joshua Kimmich, Jonathan Tah<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Midfielders<\/td><td>Lennart Karl, Jamal Musiala, Aleksandar Pavlovi\u0107<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Forwards<\/td><td>Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Luis Diaz<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-atalanta-vs-bayern-munich-preview\">Atalanta vs Bayern Munich Preview<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Atalanta defeated Dortmund and got to the Round of 16. Their ability to upset German giants showcases their power. Being a prominent Italian club, Atalanta has a decent scoring ability and a reasonable defensive side. But still, Bayern Munich is a bigger side. Their side has an above-average scoring ability. Next to Arsenal, Bayern Munich has the second-highest goals in the UCL 2025-26 season. Vincent Kompany&#8217;s men have a strong offensive side. Particularly, Harry Kane&#8217;s presence is the biggest positive factor for the team. He is in his best form lately, aiming for a Ballon d&#8217;Or. Hence, considering both sides, Bayern Munich is the pick for this UEFA Champions League matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The Pick:<\/em><\/strong><em> Bayern Munich.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leverkusen-vs-arsenal-0\">Leverkusen vs Arsenal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expected-lineups-for-leverkusen\">Expected Lineups for Leverkusen<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Players<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goalkeepers<\/td><td>Janis Blaswich<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defenders<\/td><td>Lucas V\u00e1zquez, Alex Grimaldo, Piero Hincapi\u00e9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Midfielders<\/td><td>Ibrahim Maza, Claudio Echeverri, Robert Andrich, Equi Fern\u00e1ndez<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Forwards<\/td><td>Patrik Schick, Christian Kofane, Victor Boniface<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expected-lineups-for-arsenal\">Expected Lineups for Arsenal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Players<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goalkeepers<\/td><td>David Raya<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defenders<\/td><td>William Saliba, Gabriel Magalh\u00e3es, Piero Hincapi\u00e9, Jurrien Timber<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Midfielders<\/td><td>Martin \u00d8degaard, Declan Rice, Max Dowman, Mikel Merino<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Forwards<\/td><td>Viktor Gy\u00f6keres, Bukayo Saka<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leverkusen-vs-arsenal-preview\">Leverkusen vs Arsenal Preview<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Leverkusen has won in five of its last ten games.

They dominate both the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League. With top-tier forwards like Bukayo Saka, Arsenal has an excellent scoring ability.
