Dortmund is one of two unbeaten teams in the Champions League this season. Thanks to the charming collective game, Jurgen Klopp's young troops escaped from the group of death by finishing ahead of Real Madrid, Ajax and Manchester City. They beat Madrid in Germany and a 2-2 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu. It is a picture of the ability to complete the mission Dortmund weight in a magnificent stage.

Malaga feasible given the credit for the greatness they qualify as group winners in the inaugural season and the spirit and mental demonstrated against Porto in the last 16. Malaga beat AC Milan in Spain and a 1-1 draw at San Siro before advanced to the knockout phase, and it is not unusual achievement.

Malaga may be different classes with Dortmund, which has one of the strongest young squad in Europe. Mario Gotze, Marco Reus and Robert Lewandowski is not easily equaled, while Mats Hummels and Neven Subotic was the young defender has been a worldwide reputation. Malaga itself should be wary because of the figure of Isco, who has collected three goals and three assists this season. However, the representatives of Spanish sensation likely stalled until here.

Real Madrid vs Galatasaray

Galatasaray started the group phase with two defeats and one draw, but they were able to get up and posted three consecutive wins to qualify for the knockout in the matchday pemungkas. After obtaining a place in the last 16, Galatasaray signing Wesley Sneijder and Didier Drogba to increase strength.

Galatasaray were held 1-1 at home to Schalke in the first leg of the last 16, but qualified for the quarter-finals thanks to a great win 3-2 in Germany. Galatasaray has a mental illness needed to compete in major tournaments and have proved that they are not an easy opponent. In self Burak Yilmaz, Turkey representative has joint top scorer in the Champions League this season with a score of eight goals in eight games.

Another player who also has collected eight goals is Cristiano Ronaldo, who will play in her uniform Galatasaray Real Madrid, conquerors of Manchester United in the last 16. Madrid Jose Mourinho was less convincing when dealing with United in the last 16. However, Los Merengues could do anything in the Santiago Bernabeu, and it could be a break-out guarantees them into the semifinals.

It may not be easy for Madrid, due to Galatasaray has the capacity to suppress opponents. However, more difficult to Galatasaray to stop his attack Ronaldo and Real Madrid, especially if they are in optimal performance. Expected a tough game, but the Spanish giants will win at home, enough to qualify for the last four and one step closer to their dream of La Decima.

Barcelona vs PSG

Winners : Barcelona

A notable : Lucas Moura (PSG), Lionel Messi (Barcelona)

Doubts had surfaced after Barcelona defeated AC Milan 0-2 at the San Siro, but a 4-0 win at the Camp Nou could remove everything. The existence of the world's best talent in the squad Blaugrana Barcelona make a very favored. Barcelona have won the tournament twice in the last four seasons and they know how to get past this phase.

The only hope is a convincing PSG in France before dressing a visit to the Camp Nou in the second leg. However, it would be complicated. Because PSG could lose Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the first leg due to suspension. PSG showed signs of being one of the elite teams of Europe with a series of quality players in their squad. PSG past the group phase is relatively easy, but it must sweat when faced with Valencia in the last 16. This season seems to be too early for PSG to win the Champions League.

PSG does have a quality squad, especially thanks to the presence of Thiago Silva until Lucas Moura, but Barcelona with pass master Xavi, Andres Iniesta and the genius of the strongest weapons named Lionel Messi could definitely win the second leg, both in Paris and Barcelona, ​​and stepped into the semifinals without difficulty .


Bayern Munchen vs Juventus

Winner : Juventus

A notable : Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern), Andrea Pirlo (Juventus)

Big match Champions League quarter-finals 2012/13 will be presented at the Allianz Arena and the Juventus Stadium. Bayern Munich will be favored due to their amazing performance in the Bundesliga. Bayern are also a team that is able to outperform best XI Juventus anytime and anywhere. However, if there is one team who really want to avoid the Bavarian giants, it was La Vecchia Signora.

In the coming weeks, we will hear all about quality, a series of impressive victories, to how the dominance of Bayern on the pitch. Same thing with what we heard clashes ahead of Germany and Italy in the European Cup last year.

Yes, a match that was. Games in which Germany dominated possession and created so many chances against the Azzurri is more inferior, but still ended up losing. Italy show his best: playing neat, organized, exist without reproach, and able to maximize the few opportunities they created.

Italy made Germany frustrated with total access cover and let the German midfield freely outside the restive region. Italy relying on inexperienced defenders to tackle dozens crossing coming from both wings and believe fully in goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to stop any attempt from outside the box.

This is a pattern that always happen; Germany had never beaten Italy in an international tournament. Not once did. At club level, the same pattern repeated. The representatives of Germany difficulties serve Italians on the pitch. Italian national team last year largely filled by Juventus players, including all of the pillars at the back: Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini.

Statistics show that Bayern have the best defensive unit in the world, but by naked eye, Juventus are still a notch above them. If the Italian national team is populated by a majority of the players Juventus, Bayern is the largest contributor to the German national team. The players like Bastian Schweinsteiger and Philipp Lahm certainly have not forgotten how they were eliminated by the Azzurri at Euro last year.

Juventus may have no class striker Mario Balotelli, but they had no trouble breaking into the opponent's goal. Since the draw against Nordsjaelland in the group phase, Juventus have never conceded again in the Champions League this season and could easily end the fight Shaktar Donetsk, Chelsea and Celtic to qualify for the quarter-finals. With the regista Andrea Pirlo as the center of the game, backed Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio side, Juventus midfield anybody can serve.

Juventus' Antonio Conte has formed into an effective machine to conquer the opponent. Juventus not mind handing possession, because they believe could prevent the opponent from getting points, then replace hurt with one or two touchdown passes behind the deadly attacks.

Does that mean Bayern finished? Of course not. Bayern themselves have a world class goalkeeper Manuel Neuer inner, solid defense, strong midfield possession Juventus, and one of his attack sharpest in Europe. Bayern can beat anyone and will hold flagship status in the match against Juventus.

Just as the German national team last year.
