Atalanta

Total football on a low budget. Designed by coach Gasperini, he says that his team, the offensive sensation of 'Calcio', makes total football: "Everyone attacks and everyone defends." It also does so on a low budget, since its highest paid footballers do not reach two million. It is played, against PSG, without its goalkeeper Gollini or the scorer Ilicic .

Paris saint germain

Neymar, 'joker' in the face of inactivity and casualties. A rival, Atalanta, with nothing to lose, bad records and many doubts. It is Tuchel's ballot, who considers reserving the headdresses Mbappé , Verratti and Icardi , but who cannot afford a stumble that would be his grave. Neymar , in a great way, is his 'joker' for a start without Di María , sanctioned.

Leipzig

Vertigo is less vertigo without Werner. Leipzig's high pace of play has distinguished Nagelsmann's team as one of the discoveries of European football. He is a chameleonic rival, with good ball output and adaptation to different systems. A more complex rival than it seems, although he loses punch after the escape of Timo Werner .

Athletic of Madrid

Overcome the scare, is before another great occasion. Atlético has shown power with anyone in the Champions League, and the test is the elimination of Liverpool , except when the duel was carried out locally and emotionally: Real Madrid . Outside the whites, he is facing his great opportunity, but he must prevent the two positives from altering his concentration against Leipzig.

Barcelona

The moment of greatest 'Messidepedence'.

There is a thirst for Champions at the Camp Nou and a desire to staunch the pride wounded in Rome and Liverpool. Nobody exemplifies it as much as Messi, the most powerful and loneliest argument. Everything oozes provisionality, from the coach, Quique Setién , to the president, Bartomeu. Given that, Bayern looks like Everest.

Bayern Munich

Lewandowski and the hand of an interim technician

Hans Flick took over Bayern on an interim basis following Kovac's sacking, but his reshuffle has spawned a strong and fearsome squad, with the best of German tradition: pressure, speed and depth. Preserves the main argument, Lewandowski , with 53 goals this season and 13 in the Champions League.

Manchester City

The Grail of the most pragmatic Guardiola

Winner of the Champions League as a player and coach, this league collector knows his qualitative value. For that Grail he was hired by Bayern and City, without success. After eliminating Madrid with an offensive City but not obsessed with possession, he is ready. If they beat Lyon, one of their two former teams will be waiting for them.

Olympique Lyon

The reinvention of the grandson of a Spanish exile

The Olympique de Lyon is one of those middle-class clubs that are reconverted with good judgment and the best sales of Jean Michel Aulas. The latest version is guided by a character technician, Rudi García, the grandson of a Spanish exile. Offensive and vertical, he left Cristiano out of Lisbon.
