The last eight teams remaining in the UEFA Champions League are 90 minutes away from learning their respective fates.
Some clubs hold sizeable advantages entering their respective matches, but others still have everything to play for entering this week. Here is a look at the key to success for the final eight sides participating in the Champions League round of 16 this week.With Atletico Madrid losing Filipe Luis and Lucas Hernandez through injury, the Spaniards will be missing both of their primary left-backs for Tuesday’s second leg in Turin. This presents a great opportunity for Juventus.
Right-back Joao Cancelo, who should’ve started the first leg in Madrid, should have plenty of chances to burst forward. Cancelo is crucial to Juve’s build-up in attack, so targeting that side of the pitch could really benefit the Serie A outfit.Thomas Partey is suspended for the second leg versus Juventus but fear not, Atletico Madrid fans. Rodrigo “Rodri” Hernandez is ready to shoulder the burden in midfield.
The 22-year-old is essentially Atletico’s own Marie Kondo. He loves to tidy up the midfield and organize everything around him. That’s partially why he’s seen as Sergio Busquets’ replacement on the Spanish national team.
