Champions League Round of 16: Inter-Ajax, Sporting-Juve, Messi and Donnarumma against Ronaldo
UEFA will soon release the dates and times for all matches. The most awaited one will be PSG-Manchester United, which will see Leo Messi again against Cristiano Ronaldo.
The last time they met was one year ago when Juventus beat Barcelona 3-0 at the Nou Camp in the final game of the group stage.
The Bianconeri won the group thanks to that victory but were eliminated at hands of Porto in the Round of 16.
Juventus fans hope history won’t repeat itself, while Inter fans seem to be aware of Ajax’s strength but are happy with the draw given that they could have got clubs like Liverpool or Manchester City.
UPDATE: Caos at UEFA, the Champions League draw will be entirely redone due to a ‘technical problem with the software of an external service provider.’ Find out more HERE.
