If a player is successful in this competition, they are likely to make a move to a big club the next season. Players like Erling Haaland, Luis Diaz, and Jude Bellingham showcased their ability in this competition and then made a move to a bigger league or team. This Champions League is no different as PSG and Liverpool are eying on a young midfielder who is under the radar of many football fans.

This Champions League round of 16 has teams that surprised many to see at this stage. FC Copenhagen is one team that shocked many by placing second in their group ahead of Galatasaray and Manchester United and behind Bayern Munich. The Danish side was knocked out of the competition, losing 6-2 on aggregate to Manchester City. RB Leipzig gave a a fight to Real Madrid and looked the better side but were knocked out as they lost 2-1 on aggregate. While Copenhagen and Leipzig are out, some of their players have impressed and could be set for a move this summer.

This leads the discussion to the other side of the bracket. Next week, Inter Milan will take on Atletico Madrid, and PSV will play Borussia Dortmund. Napoli will play FC Barcelona, and Arsenal will play FC Porto. The surprise out of these four matches was the FC Porto vs Arsenal game, as the Portuguese side won 1-0 at home against the Gunners. Porto does not have the best season in their league, as they are third with 52 points, but some of their players are gaining attraction from other big clubs.
