Which four teams will complete the quarter-final line-up?

With Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG and Atletico all avoiding shock results, focus turns to which clubs will join them in the next round.

Real Madrid are almost guaranteed to be one of those teams. Their destruction of Bundesliga club Schalke on German soil was both emphatic and a statement of intent. 

As Barcelona fail to show their best form in 2013-14 and Lionel Messi having "only" the 15 goals from his 20 La Liga matches this season, per Squawka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale will feel they can be the Spanish side who make the biggest impact in this year's competition.

A comfortable night in the Bernabeu awaits the Galacticos.

Last year's runners-up Borussia Dortmund should also cruise through after beating Zenit 4-2 in Russia. A double from Robert Lewandowski in the second half ensured the German club took away a healthy lead back to the Westfalenstadion.

The biggest question of a giant killing lies at the feet of Chelsea and Manchester United.

The Blues face the ever-dangerous Turkish side Galatasaray after drawing the first-leg 1-1. With the away goals rule, Gala only need a score draw of two goals or more to progress, and with Chelsea legend Didier Drogba in their side, they will feel this is possible.

However, it is questionable how Drogba will perform after he is showered with love at Stamford Bridge by the loyal support. An emotional night awaits.

The player said before the first leg, per BBC Sport: "It will be difficult. You don't stay eight years in a place you don't like, especially in football - it is very emotional. I love Chelsea but I play for Galatasaray now and I will give everything for them."

Despite the football rom-com, Chelsea will have too much for their opponents and should progress into the next round under the ruthless focus of Jose Mourinho.

That only leaves Manchester United, who made a huge mess of their first-leg match against Olympiakos, losing 2-0 in Greece. It was one of the Reds' worst performances of the season, and they were duly punished. 

However, the question remains if this United side can score three times without reply. United will be the big scalp of the Round of 16, leaving Chelsea as the only remaining English side in the competition. Olympiakos should get the away goal that sees them inch their way into the last eight. 

Top goalscorers

Player	Club	Goals
Cristiano Ronaldo	Real Madrid	11
Zlatan Ibrahimovic	Paris Saint-Germain	10
Lionel Messi	Barcelona	8
Diego Costa	Atletico Madrid	7
Sergio Aguero	Manchester City	6
Robert Lewandowski	Borussia Dortmund	6
Alvaro Negredo	Manchester City	5
Arturo Vidal	Juventus	5

The top three places could not be more obvious choices if you had to guess. The three alpha males of European football dominate as Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Lionel Messi lead the pack.

Despite Bale's arrival in Madrid, it is business as usual for the former Manchester United man. Ronaldo is averaging better than a goal a game in La Liga this season, scoring 24 times, per Squawka.

BeIN Sports' Tancredi Palmeri recently tweeted how the player could soon break a Champions League record:

As Palmeri's tweet highlights, Zlatan is just one behind the Real Madrid talisman, and both look more than capable of beating Messi's joint record of 14 with a potential five games for each team remaining should they make the final.

Messi himself has a very credible eight goals and a big quarter-final could see the Barcelona wizard leapfrog to the top of the charts.

Latest odds and who will lift the trophy

Position	Team	Best price
1	Bayern Munich	2-1
2	Barcelona	4-1
3	Real Madrid	4-1
4	Paris Saint-Germain	12-1
5	Chelsea	14-1
6	Atletico Madrid	14-1
7	Borussia Dortmund	16-1
8	Manchester United	50-1
9	Olympiakos	200-1
10	Galatasaray	400-1

As expected, the team that are favourites to win the Champions League are the reigning holders, Bayern Munich.

They navigated their way comfortably past Arsenal with expert ease over two legs, and they will be the team everyone wants to avoid.

At 2-1 odds, there is some value in Munich's chances, but the real value lies with both the Spanish teams. Barcelona may not be in the greatest of form, but they can use their experience to get to the final.

However, arguably the most lethal side in the 2014 Champions League are Real Madrid.

With the uncontrollable pairing of Ronaldo and Bale and a supporting cast of tremendous players, they look capable of being the team that prevails, taking the famous trophy back to the capital of Spain once again.  

Ronaldo will want to add a second Champions League to his list of honours, and it would be no surprise if this is the season he achieves that goal.
