Can't help but feel PSG are overhyped due to one good match against Liverpool. Sure, they are a good team, but they aren't best in Europe yet.

On their way to the quarters, they lost a few matches to teams best in Europe that they shouldn't be losing to and didn't automatically qualify. They have gotten better as the season gone on but they are another season away from developing that killer instinct right at the very top.

PSG are the clear favourites in the match against Villa but not runaway favourites as with Barca vs. Dortmund.

I can't see Arsenal getting anything but thumped by Real over the two legs, but there should be lots of goals at both ends as Real just don't seem to prioritise defending.

I think Inter are favourites against Bayern due to Bayerns injuries to key players. Lowest scoring tie, probably.

Pretty sure Inter will win, let's say 0-2 for that match

Out of a set of ties that are pretty boringly predictable on paper I do think that is a possible upset. I'm torn on it because on the one hand I kind of think Harry Kane deserves to win a trophy at some point, but on the other hand him not doing so would be quite amusing.

He's also not been in that great form for a few months. Maybe since his last injury?

Kane has already won a trophy

A true gunner

Two, even. My bad.

I'm rooting for Arsenal, but it's hard to imagine them beating Real Madrid over 2 games. I think Arsenal might win at home though.

PSG and Barcelona are probably the two strongest teams in Europe at the moment and I don't think either will have too hard of a time progressing.

Bayern - Inter seems like the closest tie, personally I think Inter will make through though.
