PARIS. — The Champions League football knock-out stage kicks off this week with a blockbuster showdown between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich topping ...

The Abu Dhabi-backed club will still be favourites to overcome RB Leipzig, but they have appeared flawed domestically of late and perhaps the uncertainty surrounding the future will leave them feeling greater pressure to perform in Europe this season. That increases expectations at Stamford Bridge, but only three of their January recruits can feature in their European squad. That provides the backdrop to the return of the Champions League, with the financial gulf between the English Premier League and the continent greater than ever and the promoters of the breakaway Super League project revealing their new vision of how the competition might look.

The report also makes a set of valuable recommendations to ensure better fan experience and safety at future events,” Uefa said “In particular, I would like to apologise to the supporters of Liverpool FC…. “The parallels between Hillsborough 1989 and Paris 2022 are palpable,” it said. Ironically the Champions League final had been moved to Paris at three months’ notice after UEFA stripped Russia of hosting the game in St. “UEFA is currently analysing the findings of the review and assessing them against its own analysis of the organisation of the event and facts that occurred around it.At the same time, UEFA is reviewing the recommendations of the Panel in order to introduce appropriate changes and arrangements to ensure the highest level of safety for fans at future finals.” Many were teargassed by police before the game, with kick-off delayed by nearly 40 minutes.

The massive Paris Saint-Germain vs. Bayern Munich clash highlights a fine slate, while Chelsea will look to right the ship and put their poor Premier League ...

Most likely to score a goal: Goals will be hard to come by in the match but singling out one person to find the back of the net, it's Joao Mario. Benfica will have chances all match due to Brugge's struggles as of late but Mignolet is a keeper that can stand on his head to save his defense. [In my bold predictions I make the case for why Chelsea might actually start scoring some goals](https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/champions-league-bold-predictions-chelsea-find-their-goals-bayern-munich-play-it-safe-a-surprise-champion/), but that is perhaps best saved for columns that include the very necessary "bold" in front of "predictions." Match prediction: Neither of these teams have particularly set the world alight in the last few months, but Chelsea in particular seem to have uncovered a heady cocktail of underwhelming performances and horrendous luck. Perhaps it is nothing more than the easy narrative but given his growth as his player, the attention that will be on him and how well suited his qualities are to Premier League opposition, does it not seem inevitable that Bellingham will shine the brightest? One matchup to watch: Jude Bellingham's drive and dynamism seems perfectly suited for a clash with a Chelsea midfield who might struggle to stay in the battle with the England international. Expect to see a focused and determined Christophe Galtier side raise their game by a few levels compared to some of the underwhelming displays they have produced of late. Man of the Match pick: Gianluigi Donnarumma has been in inspired form of late and it seems likely that the Italian will have to be at his absolute best if PSG are to have any hope of advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals. The Cameroon international has hit impressive form this season and it feels nailed on that he will find the net again here across the two legs in this tie. In fact, the Rossoneri faced a tough start of the year and only had two wins since the World Cup break while conceding ten goals in the last four games (four against Lazio, five against Sassuolo and one against Inter Milan). I expect the game to be very tactical and he's the one who can make the difference. One matchup to watch: After a difficult start of the year, right-back Theo Hernandez has proven again to be one of the best players in his role, providing a nice assist to Olivier Giroud in Friday's clash against Torino.

Four German clubs – Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig – have reached the last 16 of the Champions League.
