Juventus are now where Arsenal found themselves a month ago, relishing the chance of facing the team that are meant to be the weakest in the competition. Treat the match like the Gunners did in the first leg and they’ll regret their arrogance. Complacency is something that The Old Lady could be accused of at the weekend, falling to defeat against Serie A’s bankrupt bottom club Parma having rested a host of first-team stars.

Monaco have been in fine form under Leonardo Jardim and their game plan will not change. They will look to counter against their hosts on Tuesday night and will rely on a defence that has only conceded four goals in this season’s Champions League, fewer than the other remaining teams in the tournament. They are the worst side left in the competition according to our ratings (7.11), with only Apoel Nicosia attempting fewer shots per game (8.6) in this season’s Champions League, but Juventus cannot afford to underestimate them.

While Carlo Ancelotti’s men are favourites to progress in a repeat of last season’s final, Atlético have had the better of their meetings since that dramatic showdown last May. Diego Simeone’s team have beaten Real Madrid four times already this season in what is becoming a regular fixture. Indeed, the two teams have met eight times since last March and Real Madrid have failed to come out on top after 90 minutes in any of those encounters, with no chance of extra time in Tuesday’s meeting.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored eight goals so far in the tournament and is in competition with Lionel Messi, as ever, as he vies to win the Champions League golden boot for the third season running, which would equal the record of foru awards currently shared by Messi and Gerd Müller. It’s fair to say that Ronaldo is back in form, having scored 10 goals in his last six appearances, but he’s failed to score in his three outings at the Vicente Calderón stadium this season and Simeone’s side have conceded just four goals to this point.

Pep Guardiola’s men may be the favourites to win the tournament following the quarter-final draw but it’s worth remembering that Porto are the only unbeaten side remaining. They have scored 21 goals in their eight matches so far and, unlike Bayern, have scored at least once in each of their matches thus far. They will hope to take heart from Shakhtar Donetsk’s defensive display in their own home encounter with the Bundesliga powerhouse, while faring considerably better than the Ukrainians managed in the away fixture at the Allianz.

Bayern hit Shakhtar for seven in their last Champions League match and have registered more shots than any other team in this season’s competition (19.1 per game). Their rating of 7.53 is second only to Real Madrid at present but Porto are no pushovers, with those two sides the only remaining competitors with a superior rating thus far (7.48). The hosts will need to be defensively sound first and foremost, and in Casemiro they boast the second top rated player in this season’s Champions League, with a score of 8.42 courtesy of a mammoth 5.8 tackles per game.

In the only repeat of a group stage encounter from earlier in the tournament, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona will do battle having each won their respective home ties en route to the knockout stages. The two sides met at the same stage in the 2012-13 edition of the Champions League and the matches between the two have all been entertaining and tight affairs. Both teams have scored in every one of their last four meetings, with Barça outscoring the Parisians eight to seven.

Lionel Messi has struck in three of these games and is aiming to become the first player ever to win five golden boot awards in the European Cup/Champions League, with eight goals thus far equalling his efforts from last season. He has an outrageously impressive rating of 9.23 in this season’s competition, with five shots, 3.8 key passes and 7.1 successful dribbles per game. Meanwhile Laurent Blanc will be without Thiago Motta, Marco Verratti, David Luiz and top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with the latter perhaps playing the least significant part in PSG’s progression thus far of those four absentees.
