Selection in the three Champions League games in the "BookieCo" and the 2-3 goal in Real-Attletico!

The Champions League's round of 16 starts tonight, which this year has really offered us a lot of excitement with the new... format.
The draw that took place a few days ago resulted in some controversial matches, with favourites, but also balanced pairings as usual of course.
Four games are scheduled for today and the Spanish "civil war" is of course dominated by the European champions Real Madrid playing against "fellow countrymen" Atletico.
Christos Jolies' Club Brugge will have a chance of reaching the quarter-finals of the competition if they eliminate Aston Villa in a double-header with the first match taking place in Belgium.
The Dortmund-Lille and Eindhoven-Arsenal pairings complete the puzzle tonight.
The first matches will be played on March 4 and 5, with the rematches taking place a week later (7 & 12/3)!

Below you can see all the match action in detail:

CLUB BRUGGE-ASTON VILA (19:45)
A pairing of Greek interest, as Christos Jolis' Club Brugge will have the chance to reach the quarter-finals of the competition if they eliminate Aston Villa in a double-header! The home side drove fans crazy in the play-offs as they defied the odds to eliminate Atalanta with two wins. This cannot go unnoticed. The visitors had an excellent showing in the League Phase of the competition and managed to secure direct qualification as they finished in 8th place.

DORTMUND-LILLE (22:00)
The Germans will be looking for distinction through the Champions League, as they are not performing well in the Bundesliga. The hosts qualified for the playoffs against Sporting with relative ease in fact, as they won 0-3 in the first game and the replay ended 0-0. The visitors, however, surprised with their performances in the League Phase and qualified directly for the round of 16.

PSV-ARSENAL (22:00)
PSV scored an extra-time goal from Flamingo to knock Juventus out of the Champions League (3-1), celebrating an epic qualification to the round of 16. Juventus travelled to the Netherlands having taken a 2-1 lead from the first leg, but the Eindhoven players went in with a knife in their teeth and managed to turn the tables (in extra time) and win the game for themselves. The draw put them up against Arsenal... who are doing great in the Champions League so far.

REAL MADRID-ATLETICO MADRID (22:00)
Spanish titanic duel in the Champions League round of 16 between two teams that seem to be in excellent competitive and psychological condition. It's true that the Queen's are the favourites to reach the next stage, but Diego Simeone has proven to us many times in the recent past that he can look all teams in the eye, especially in double-headers. Carlo Ancelotti's side are coming off a big play-off qualification against City, having beaten them both home and away. Atletico didn't have to play in the playoffs after doing well in the League Phase and finishing 5th.
