2026 Champions League Power Rankings: Initial ranking of every team in the quarterfinals

The 2025/26 Champions League season's Round of 16 is now done and dusted, so with the quarterfinals up next, it's time to rank all eight teams that are moving on to the next round of European football's biggest club competition. 8. Sporting CP Sporting CP pulled off a comeback for the ages, annihilating underdogs Bodo Glimt in a second leg twist that few saw coming, because Bodo Glimt were playing as well as any team in the competition. Maybe we are all sleeping on Sporting too much. The OTHER Luis Suarez is playing the ball of his life and looks even better than Viktor Gyokeres. Sporting have a good team, but they just don't have the firepower of the true European giants. 7. Atletico Madrid In truth, Atletico Madrid are lucky to even be in the quarterfinals, because if it were not ...

2026 Champions League picks, score predictions for Round of 16 second leg

The Champions League Round of 16 definitely delivered on the drama and the goals in the first leg, and the second leg promises to be even better. Here are the full score predictions for each of the eight games. Chelsea 2-2 PSG Chelsea will rue Liam Rosenior's decision to give Filip Jorgensen the nod, and the most laughable part of that whole ordeal is that the manager's reasoning was that Jorgensen would be better on the ball. Whoops. At home, Chelsea will have a point to prove and will go into this game with no fear, but they just do not have the quality to turn the tie around against a PSG side that is finally starting to play to its talent level when it matters most. Liverpool 2-1 Galatasaray Trips to Istanbul are never easy, and while Liverpool have major issues with their squad...

2026 Champions League Power Rankings after the first leg of the Round of 16

After blowout losses for Chelsea and Manchester City, the Champions League field is starting to narrow even before the second leg of the 2025/26 Round of 16 begins. Here are the top five contenders now, ranked in order, after an eventful first leg of the real beginning of the knockout stages. 5. Barcelona Barcelona are the leaders of La Liga and a juggernaut with their midfield talent and Lamine Yamal, but they were quite powerless against Newcastle and lucky to have drawn the game, much like Arsenal were. Newcastle outplayed Barca, and with how shaky the Blaugrana look at times defensively, it is hard to give them the nod over other teams that are either more solid defensively or, in Real Madrid's case, simply better at elevating their games in the Champions League spotlight. 4. Ars...

Here is a ranking of the top eight teams (the proverbial top half) of the 16 heading into the Champions League Round of 16 action this week. 8. Chelsea I don't think anybody seriously buys Chelsea as top contenders, as they recently lost to rivals Arsenal in the Premier League and even struggled with Wrexham in the FA Cup this weekend.
