When the Champions League exits the group stage and heads into the knockout rounds, there are several teams that you expect to see there every single time. Real Madrid, the current holders of the trophy, are one of those teams. After all, this is a team that won this tournament in its first 5 years of existence, back when it was still known as the European Cup, and who have won the current version twice in the last 3 seasons. Real Madrid have once again powered their way into the Round of 16, and while you would expect them to continue rolling, they have been handed a very tricky draw in this round. Napoli are flying high in Serie A in Italy, and while they look unlikely to catch Juventus at the top, their third-place spot is better than a lot of people expected from this group. The toughest part for the Italian side is that they need to go on the road for the first leg. This match-up can be won or lost in the first game, so expect Napoli to try and bar the door shut.
