Champions League Round of 16 Preview
Three squads won their group without suffering a defeat: Bayern Munich topped Group A with five victories and a draw, Manchester City took Group C with the same record, and Chelsea claimed Group E with four wins and a pair of draws.
Bayern, the defending champs, finished the stage with a 2-0 defeat of Lokomotiv Moscow on Dec. 9, though they’d already clinched the group’s top spot.
“Our opponents were very defence-minded but after the opener I knew we’d win because we were solid at the back,” Bayern manager Hansi Flick said after the win, according to the club’s official website. “We achieved what we set out to do. 2020 was an outstanding year for us in the Champions League, with the title win this summer. We wanted to end the year with a win and we did that.”
Manchester City went down 1-0 in the 14th minute of their tournament-opening tie with FC Porto; they came back to triumph 3-1 and didn’t surrender a goal the rest of the way.
The team’s 16-point total in through six group tests is a record for English clubs.
“I am really happy for the way we played in all the games without exception,” City manager Pep Guardiola said following a stage-closing 3-0 victory over Marseille on Dec. 9, according to BBC Sport. “We scored goals, we conceded few.
“In general good in all the games, we are into the next round now and we’ll see the incredible teams so it’s an interesting draw. Hopefully we arrive in a good shape, good mood and we will see.”
Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud netted 5 goals in just 143 minutes of pitch time in the group stage; no other player with as many goals or more (four players scored 6 goals) logged fewer than 300 minutes in the group stage.
The Frenchman scored a stoppage-time winner in a 2-1 victory over Rennes on Nov. 24, Chelsea’s third win, then struck every goal in his side’s 4-0 win over Sevilla nine days later. Chelsea closed the stage with a 1-1 draw with Krasnodar six days after that.
“We are working hard in training to improve and reach our targets,” Giroud said after his 4-goal performance, according to Chelsea’s official website.
“Our ambition is to compete with the best teams in the Premier League, and in the Champions League to go as far as we can. We have shown we have a great squad and we can count on a lot of talented players. It will give us the opportunity to play in both competitions.
“We are doing a great job and we need to keep the momentum up.”
