Possible Champions League round of 16 matchups: Atlético vs Manchester City or Celtic
The new Champions League has already played more than half of its matches and has left some surprises, such as Real Madrid, City and Atleti out of the round of 16. There are still three games to be played, but possible matchups for the preliminary round of the round of 16 can already be seen.
The top 8 teams go directly to the round of 16 and the next 16 will have to play a preliminary round. This round will not be a pure draw, but first against second. Each team can only face two possible opponents. Atlético could face Manchester City or Celtic.
These matchups will also define the round of 16. The winners of these matchups will join another 8 teams to complete the 16 teams that will be in the round of 16 and will face the top 8 teams already classified. If Atlético wins its round of 16, it will play the round of 16 against Liverpool or Inter, both with the return leg away from home.
