Meanwhile, another Spanish giant, Barcelona will have to battle Italian champion, Juventus, in a supposedly intriguing battle for that one ticket into semifinal round.

Bayern’s match up against Madrid also becomes much more interesting knowing that the current tactician of the German side is Carlo Ancelotti, who was an ex-coach of Real Madrid.

Ancelotti even managed to lead Los Blancos in winning their 10th Champions League title, before being fired a season later.

Knowing that there haven’t been many personnel changes at Madrid after his departure, the Italian certainly can offer some insight about Zinedine Zidane squad.

However, similar situation can also be gathered by the Spanish outfit since Zidane himself was Ancelotti’s assistant during the former AC Milan boss’ reign at Santiago Bernebau.

As for Barcelona’s encounter against Juventus, both teams certainly will feel that they are facing an intriguing battle, especially for the Italian as their opponent might have that morale boost following their dramatic comeback against Paris Saint-Germain.
