The UEFA Champions League football will officially return to continue with its round of 16 draw today, 16th of February 2021.
The last matches of the group stages were played on the 9th of December 2020 with 16 teams qualifying for the next stage (round of 16) and sixteen others dropping to the Europa League after failing to finish either first or second in their individual groups. Notable among the teams that dropped are Man United, Inter Milan, and AFC Ajax.

Now to the point, as the Round of 16 stage of the competition returns today, here are top 5 things to watch out for.

1. The fiery Barca Vs PSG fixture: This fixture between Spanish Giants Barcelona, and Ligue 1 giants PSG is definitely something to look out for as the Champions league returns.

2. Tuchel's Chelsea vs Athletico Madrid: Chelsea's new manager Thomas Tuchel is having a rather good run with the club since joining having won 5 and drawn 1 out of his 6 encounters so far. But can the German lead Chelsea past Athletico Madrid in this round of the UCL? Definitely something to watch out for.

3. Will Bayern Munich continue their Dominance in Europe as they face Lazio?
In winning the last UCL, Bayern Munich overcame some tough rivalries from different European leagues including EPL's Chelsea, LaLiga's Barcelona and Ligue 1's PSG. Now they face Lazio in the round of 16 draw. Can the German giants continue with this fiery dominance? Guess we'll see about that.

4. Cristiano Ronaldo's potential sixth UCL trophy?

The 36 year old have been a key player in winning a record 5 UCL trophies. 1 with Manchester United and 4 with Real Madrid. Can the Portuguese lead his team past Porto and go on to win his 6th UCL trophy and his first for Juventus? Let's watch out.


5. Could this be the season the UCL will "come back to Camp Nou"?

Back in 2018, after being officially made the club captain, Lionel Messi in his address to fans who had gathered at Camp Nou promised to do everything he can to win the UCL for Barca that season. As is the case, Barcelona couldn't go close to the trophy that season, or the two more seasons after that. Could this be the season where he finally fulfills that promise? Could he lead Barcelona past PSG in that quest?

Let's Sit tight and watch it all unfold

1..barca vs PSG isn't dt a big game bcox they is no neyma reunion, neyma missing the game killed d expectations of the fixture, barca would win it..

1. Yeah, Neymar and his injury jinx kind of ruined the expectations of the Barca v PSG fixture.
2. It's really seeming that way based on Athletico's incredible form and dominance in their league. But well, still keeping my fingers crossed for Chelsea.
3. Agreed, the hunger seems to be diminishing but those guys always knows how to turn up in big games.. they really are still the favourites to win the trophy
4. Indeed a tall order.. They are some really tough teams in the way.
5. I agree.. It'll be something of a miracle if they can even get past PSG..
