. Everything is very interesting. We haven’t given two of them ( we all know which two ) little hope of winning the entire thing because all three Premier League teams are on the same part of the drawwhich isn’t very joy, along with Real Madrid, which is also a bit of a bummer.
The path to Munich is set. #UCLdraw image We have ranked all 16 remaining teams according to their chances of winning the Champions League, from Real Madrid to the no-hopers, of course. Feyenoord
16 ) Feyenoord
Brian Priske likely felt unlucky for having defeated Benfica and Bayern Munich in the Champions League play-offs before being shown the door two days before their clinching encounter with AC Milan. However, it turned out well for them. A 1-1 pull at home in the San Siro would give them the lead over Inter, who would still be the French side if Arne Slot was still in charge. However, Robin van Persie, who took over from Heerenveen after 26 game and nine victories, may take over as manager. The Belgian side will be reasonably confident of making it to the quarter-finals after being drawn up against an Aston Villa side they already defeated in the group stage by beating Atalanta in both legs[19659009
. However, if Brugge can get that much against England or PSG, that would be an incredible success. Noa Lang ran wild and Ivan Perisic scored a truly wonderful goal for Peter Bosz ‘ impressive side in the second leg against Juventus.[15]They truly have what it takes to frighten Arsenal, especially at home, where they last faced Mikel Artetas ‘ part at the , Philips Stadium last plan and where they had previously defeated them. However, if they want to upset the apple cart and beat them, they will likely meet with one of the Madrid clubs.
13 ) Benfica
They were 3-1 and 4-2 up against Barcelona in the group stage before Hansi Flicks ‘ side came back to win 5-4, which they should take as a compliment given that Barca sporting director Deco acknowledged the La Liga side really suffered the majority of that game.
True doubts may be split between the legs if they can’t keep Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and the lads calm for quite a stretch. They are in good shape and have a wonderful last-16 link against the Bundesliga’s 11th-best side[19659017
. Less favorable is a quarter-final chance against Barcelona.
11 ) Arsenal
Mikel Arteta’s record in European knock matches has been the only thing that has remained unremarkable since taking over at Arsenal besides winning games all his own. In two of his four seasons, he has simply allowed Arsenal to advance past the knockout stages: in the first, in 2020/21, when Villarreal knocked them out of the Europa semifinal, and in the final battle, when they edged past Porto on sanctions.
The controversial draw with Bayern in the quarter-finalbefore limping out in Munich means its two wins in eight European knockout home legs under Arteta. We can’t see that season’s history improving little, if at all, due to an injury problems.
10 ) Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund do at least have Champions League experience on their part. It must seem like a long time since they lost in the final to Real Madrid and they eased past Sporting in the play-offs having only just missed out on the automatic spots.
They  ,should have just about enough know-how to counteract how God-awful theyve been this season to at least get past Lille. The addition of Marcus Rashford and Marco Asencio to their roster,
9 ) Aston Villa
They are unlikely to be as bad as they were in the group phase against Club Bruggeand those same two qualities will help any team led by Unai Emery have a better chance of succeeding than one led by the man who replaced him at Arsenal. We were more appalled by PSG after the state-backed European club spanked their friend minnows 10-0 in the play-offs, but the Ligue 1 giants are a much more pleasant and severe dress having rid of the majority of their big-name players, putting faith in some incredibly talented younger players.
Theyve drawn England, though, which is a p*sser. Despite being in the top half of the draw, theyre in the top half and will be interested in extending their lead if they can get one over their bogey team in the last 16.
7 ) Bayern Munich
Would never have imagined Vincent Kompanys could be this high in the ranking after the play-off with Celtic, who gave as good as they did for the majority of those two games. They  ,really  ,wont have wanted Leverkusen. After Milan, Juve, and Atalanta were all dumped out in the play-offs, and theyve had knowledge coming nearer under Simone Inzaghi
after losing to Manchester City[19459005[]. We can count on Diego Simeones Atletico Madrid to get strong and terrible in every battle no matter how long it has been since they haven’t made it past the quarter-final in seven months. They do appear to be more of a risk than they have been for a while, but they are only one point behind Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga after passing through the Champions League group level. Bayern have won three of their last six games against Bayern, but Xabi Alonsos ‘ side are shocking not to make it four after beating their Bundesliga rivals but failing to hold on as Bayern held on to their eight-point result at the top of the table. Real Madrid winning the Champions League five days since they last claimed it in 2015 can’t become overly happy. It feels like Barcelona ultimately has a forward range capable of accomplishing the same feat as the irresistible pair of Neymar, Luis Suarez, and Lionel Messi did that year. One of the Europes form teamsis Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha, who can tear any defense apart on their day. Some people may dispute Liverpool’s record-breaking time against PSV Eindhoven, but some may dispute that they were the best team in Europe this year. Were we still not entirely sure if theyve played a proper group already?

2 ) Because they lost a lot of balls in that second legand the fact that the 15-time champions needed a play-off, it’s difficult to tell how good they are. However, True Madrid, ladies and gentlemen. They accomplish it.
Kylian Mbappe is Kylian Mbappe once moreand Carlo Ancelotti seems to have managed to integrate all four of his ridiculous forwards into a single team while maintaining some sort of structure and defensive scheme.
