Real Madrid and Atletico sigh to face RB Leipzig in the knockout stages of the Champions League given the theoretical potential of the other rivals that can touch them in luck in this Monday's draw (12.00 hours) , while Barcelona and Valencia , who passed as first group, will have a pairing on the most benevolent role, with Atalanta and Lyon as sets of less power among their possible adversaries.

The second places of the Madrid teams offer a complicated picture in the draw to be held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon. His opponents can be four 'coconuts' plus Leipzig , who ended up leading the group G and, on paper, has a significantly lower level than the rest, although today he leads the Bundesliga classification.

Bayern Munich, Juventus, Liverpool , defender of the title, and Manchester City are the four 'giants' that can touch Zidane's team, plus Leipzig, which is also one of the possibilities for Atlético alongside the Bavarian team, that of Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Paris Saint Germain .

Barcelona and Valencia have it theoretically better. The Italians could play the Italians Atalanta and Naples , the English Chelsea and Tottenham , and the French Lyon , and Valencia the same except the London blues , who change for Borussia Dortmund when unable to face teams with which they have shared a group.

The 'rookie' Atalanta, who starred in an incredible comeback in group C after losing the first three games and drawing the fourth, and Lyon by Rudi García, who also had to wait until the last day to seal his pass, are the most affordable entry for those of Ernesto Valverde and those of Albert Celades.

The first leg of the round of 16 will be played on February 18, 19, 25 and 26, and round 10, 1
