Real Madrid, Atletico Clash in Champions League Last 16

In the Champions League last 16, Liverpool will face Paris St-Germain, while Arsenal takes on PSV Eindhoven, and Aston Villa meets Club Brugge. Real Madrid, the title holders, will compete against local rivals Atletico Madrid, with both legs scheduled for March 5 and March 12. Despite a rocky start to the season, Madrid's attacking quartet, including Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrygo Goes, is now viewed as their greatest strength. However, they will be without midfielder Bellingham for the first leg due to a suspension. Coach Carlo Ancelotti remains optimistic about his team's potential, especially after their recent performance against Manchester City, where they scored six goals over two legs. As the season progresses, Ancelotti emphasizes the importance of commitment and teamwork for success against a challenging Atletico side.
