Preview

Few would have anticipated that come the second legs of these last-16 ties that Juventus would have one of the biggest deficits to make up.

In the previous fixture they were bullied in the second half by a rampant Atletico Madrid side, with goals from centre-halves Diego Godin and Jose Maria Gimenez seeing the La Liga team to a 2-0 win. Here are the highlights from a memorable night at the Wanda Metropolitano (U.S. only):

It would be foolish to write off Juventus, though. Manager Massimiliano Allegri was able to rest a number of key players against Udinese on Friday, and they also have Cristiano Ronaldo. 

The Portugal international is the all-time top scorer in Champions League history and has a reputation for performing to his best on these nights. After the first leg, Ronaldo was in a bullish mood:

Elsewhere on Tuesday, Manchester City are in a strong position to qualify after an impressive away win in the first leg against Schalke.

There were spells in the game when Schalke got on top of City, with the Bundesliga side leading 2-1 on 85 minutes. However, despite being down to 10 men, Pep Guardiola's side launched a late comeback to win the game, with Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling netting.

The tightest ties will be played on Wednesday, with the two matches on a knife-edge following stalemates in the first leg.

Bayern will be seeking to finish the job against Liverpool, as they put in a professional performance at Anfield in the previous fixture. They are in great, having beaten Wolfsburg 6-0 on Saturday to go back to the top of the Bundesliga table.

Cristian Nyari of FCB Media thinks Robert Lewandowski is the most in-form forward in the game:

Liverpool will be dangerous opponents, though, with the pace of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane a major threat on the break for the visitors.

Meanwhile, Barcelona will be big favourites to get past Lyon at the Camp Nou. In the first leg there was little between the sides and given their attacking firepower, Lyon will be confident of finding a crucial goal away from home.

Still, with Lionel Messi enjoying another remarkable campaign and the backing of the Camp Nou crowd, it would be a shock if the Blaugrana didn't find a way through to the quarter-finals.

Predicted Qualifiers: Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Barcelona
