Any Spurs fans expecting a repeat of their Ajax semi-final comeback haven't noticed than Poch is long gone.

Real Madrid's captain has outscored Bale, Isco, Modric, Kroos...everyone but Benzema this season. A big match player who always manages to find the limelight one way or another.

Both teams are on good form domestically but Barcelona are in a mess off the field with Messi recently claiming the team aren't good enough to win the Champions League. Their away record at the business end of the competition makes his point.

The best number 9 in the world this season is Robert Lewandowksi who is averaging well over a goal a game for the German champions who were devastating in the group stages.

The most explosive team in Serie A have already defied the odds in the Champions League this season. A 7-0 away on Saturday again showed how devastating Atalanta can be and the draw gives them real hope when the tournament resumes in February.

Manchester City have already qualified as group winners in the Champions League so this is an unwelcome trip to Croatia with a depleted squad. The hosts have plenty to play for and have already shown they're decent on their own patch.
