When the pair worked together at Barcelona, the Spanish club twice won the Champions League. Benfica and Inter Milan make up the final two teams in the draw and both will likely be confident of reaching the semifinals. Napoli will also likely be confident of beating an AC Milan team that currently sits 20 points back in Serie A and only scraped past a beleaguered Tottenham with a 1-0 aggregate score in the previous round. Perhaps the most exciting team in Europe this season is Napoli, which is on course to win its first Serie A title since 1990 after opening up an 18-point lead at the top of the table. It was a historic result – Liverpool’s largest home defeat in Europe – with Real going on to comfortably see out the tie with a 1-0 win at the Bernabeu courtesy of Karim Benzema’s goal, taking the Frenchman’s Champions League tally to 89.

His partnership with [Kalidou Koulibaly](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/150312/Kalidou-Koulibaly) is excellent and whoever is named as the third man in the defense -- [Marc Cucurella](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/259910/Marc-Cucurella), [Benoit Badiashile](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/282585/Benoit-Badiashile), [Thiago Silva](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/96254/Thiago-Silva) -- will fit in nicely.

PSG came along in the next round, with their scary attacking trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappé. And what a way they have done it: Napoli beat Liverpool, Ajax and Rangers in an extremely tricky group to come top and then they took on Eintracht Frankfurt in the Round of 16. They breezed through the first round without dropping a single point and conceding just 2 goals. After that, they had the tricky task of coming back to Stamford Bridge and overturning a 1-0 deficit against Borussia Dortmund. In the second round, back at the Etihad, well... In the Round of 16, they came up against Spurs, who are potentially the most frustrating and confusing thing to exist this season since, well, Spurs every season.
