Favorites and Underdogs
The results of the games between Chelsea x Real Madrid and Manchester City x Bayern are very well defined, and the big favorites won the first leg in a very impressive way.
Therefore, a comeback on the part of Chelsea and Bayern is very unlikely, but as it is the Champions League, anything can happen.
Chelsea and Bayern changed coaches just a few days before the Champions League quarter-finals, and so far, this strategy has not worked.
Now, the games that are most open are between Milan x Napoli and Benfica x Inter Milan.
Even with Inter going into the second leg with a two-goal lead, the Benfica team played a great game.
It's a team that has been having a great season, a turnaround is difficult, but not unlikely.
However, the biggest underdog in this competition could appear in the duel between Napoli x Milan.
The Neapolitan club has been dominating football in Italy, and leads Serie A by more than 10 points.
The defeat by one goal against Milan, in itself, is a very small advantage to hold back the team that has been surprising everyone.
Even more so as Napoli will play the second leg at home, with the full support of their fans.
