This week's contenders' form since the group stage

Bayer Leverkusen v Atlético Madrid
LEVERKUSEN
P8 W4 D1 L3 F14 A9
Last six: WWLLWD
Weekend result: Augsburg 1-3 Leverkusen (Kohr 60; Bellarabi 23, Hernández 40 65)

▪ It has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride for Bayer in the past two months, with consistency elusive throughout. However, a second successive Bundesliga win has moved Leverkusen to within sight of the UEFA Europa League berths. Karim Bellarabi, scorer of the quickest goal in Bundesliga history, also struck the milestone 50,000th goal in Germany's top flight last Friday.

ATLÉTICO
P16 W9 D4 L3 F30 A17

Weekend result: Sporting Gijón 1-4 Atlético (Álvarez 49; Carrasco 46, Gameiro 80 81 85)

▪ The Rojiblancos slipped to sixth in the Liga table when they lost 3-0 to Villarreal immediately after their final group game but are now back up to fourth, four points adrift of third-placed Sevilla and seven behind leaders Real Madrid. They reached the Copa del Rey semi-finals, losing 3-2 on aggregate to Barcelona. Kevin Gameiro scored the second fastest hat-trick in Liga history on Saturday, with three goals in four minutes 45 seconds.

Manchester City v Monaco
MAN. CITY
P14 W9 D2 L3 F29 A14
Last six: DWWWWD
Weekend result: Huddersfield Town 0-0 Man. City

▪ Saturday's FA Cup fifth round draw ended a run of four straight victories, which had been spearheaded by now-injured new signing Gabriel Jesus. Despite climbing from fourth to second in the Premier League since early December, City have gone from four to eight points adrift of leaders Chelsea.

MONACO
P15 W11 D3 L1 F43 A14
Last six: DWWWWD
Weekend result: Bastia 1-1 Monaco (Sadio Diallo 19; Bernardo Silva 52)

▪ Monaco are still in the running for all three French trophies and have scored nearly three goals per league game so far, despite a slight slip at Bastia on Friday. They have a three-point cushion at the Ligue 1 summit.

Porto v Juventus
PORTO
P12 W9 D2 L1 F26 A8
Last six: WWWWWW
Weekend result: Porto 4-0 Tondela (André Silva 43pen, Rúben Neves 54, Soares 63, Diogo Jota 90+2)

▪ Porto have gone from third to second – and from three points off leaders Benfica to just one – since the group stage finished. They have dropped just two of the 30 points on offer in that period and scored 25 Liga goals, a tally achieved in part thanks to January signing Francisco Soares' four in three appearances. Porto's only recent disappointment came as they finished bottom of their Portuguese League Cup group.

JUVENTUS
P13 W11 D1 L1 F27 A8
Last six: WWWWWW
Weekend result: Juventus 4-1 Palermo (Marchisio 13, Dybala 40 89, Higuaín 63; Chochev 90+3)

▪ The Bianconeri have won nine of their ten league fixtures since the end of the group stage and are seven points ahead atop Serie A. Friday's victory against Palermo extended their Serie A record of consecutive home victories to 29. Juve have also reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals, where they will face Napoli, while Gonzalo Higuaín has scored 12 goals in as many games in all competitions.

Sevilla v Leicester
SEVILLA
P12 W8 D2 L2 F33 A15
Last six: WWDLWW
Weekend result: Sevilla 2-0 Eibar (Sarabia 30, Vitolo 90+1)

▪ Sevilla are still in contention for a first Liga title since 1946, although they trail leaders Real Madrid by three points having played two games more. In January, the Andalusian side recorded their biggest ever points total of 42 for the first half of a season and strung together five straight league wins before losing at Espanyol, while they exited the Copa del Rey at the hands of Real Madrid.

LEICESTER
P15 W4 D3 L8 F14 A24
Last six: LLWLLD
Weekend result: Millwall 1-0 Leicester (Cummings 90)

▪ Saturday's FA Cup fifth round defeat at third-tier Millwall, who were down to ten men, continued a miserable run that has left the Premier League champions only a point above the relegation zone.
