Valentine Champions opening night

After the winter break both European tournaments are back. At the second week of this month Champions league usually starts first and this evening are the first 2 pairs from last 16. You just have to love football (especially) on this night as two powerhouses are playing against each other.

- Benfica - Borussia Dortmund. If we are looking from alphabetical order tonight Estadio da Luz opens the knockout stage. Portuguese champions has made a strong second start of the season and all odds of winning this match are in their favor. On the other hand they have a tough Borussia Dortmund side, who is playing much better and better from home. Although Germans are counting to score at least a goal and maybe holding the home team to a draw, nothing can stop Benfica of winning this first leg.
- PSG - Barcelona. Out of the two pairs this is maybe the most interesting game. In other words this can be also characterized as the REAL battle of true champions. And having being title holders in their own countries tonight they have to prove that strength on the pitch. From 2013 these two giants have played three times in this competition with plenty of goals and three types of outcomes of results. In cases like this and PSG and Barcelona looks to win, however if two things are positive they have to cancel each other at the end to a draw. Everything points out that this derby will be full of goals, like previous three meetings, and, as is very tough to predict this match, the guests might snatch it at the end.
