- Predictions explained
Arsenal v Barcelona
Owen Hargreaves (1-3): "Two great footballing teams – this game will be a privilege to watch and analyse."
Ludovic Giuly (0-2): "Important game with a high intensity."
Juventus v Bayern
Owen Hargreaves (1-2): "Bayern will control possession, and with the speed of Douglas Costa, Arjen Robben and Kingsley Coman, I expect it to be a long night for the two full-backs, Stephan Lichsteiner, 32, and Patrice Evra, 34."
Ludovic Giuly (1-1): "A very even game. Juventus are in good shape at the moment. It could have been a Champions League final."
Dynamo Kyiv v Manchester City
Owen Hargreaves (1-1): "Manchester City will head back home with an away goal and a slight advantage."
Ludovic Giuly (0-1): "Manchester City need to go a long way in the competition, but it is very difficult to play in Kyiv."
PSV Eindhoven v Atlético Madrid
Owen Hargreaves (0-2): "Atlético will be too strong for a hard-working PSV team lacking the star power of last season."
Ludovic Giuly (0-1): "Atlético are used to this stage of the tournament and a good team away from home. PSV are less experienced."
