The English teams are the clear winners of the 1st leg last 16 knockout matches with Arsenal and Chelsea both winning 1-0 at home, respectively against Roma and Chelsea. Liverpool even managed to win 1-0 away against Real Madrid and Man Utd drew 0-0 away against Inter, a good result for the Red Devils considering their defensive crisis.
The Italian and Spanish teams didn't even manage to garner a win for apart from the already mentioned results, Barcelona could only draw 1-1 away to Lyon after a not so impressive performance whilst Villareal did all the work but could only work out a 1-1 draw against Panthinaikos.
On the other hand Bayern Munich seem to have already qualified for the quarter-finals with a 5-0 away mauling of Sporting Lisbon whilst a comedy of errors gave rise to a 2-2 draw between Atletico Madrid and Porto.
Look out for some cracking 2nd leg last 16 knockout matches in mid-March! The England vs Italy saga should prove produce some pure thrillers with unexpected twists and some tense moments!
