After a two-leg round of 16 fight, the eight teams contending for the 2021/22 Champions League title have been whittled down to eight.
PSG, Manchester United, and Juventus were among the European powerhouses eliminated in the round of 16, falling to Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Unai Emery's Villarreal.
In the round of 16, some of the world's finest teams demonstrated their will by scoring five or more goals against their opponents to send a strong message to the rest of Europe.
Only one side has won both its home and away games in the round of 16 thus far.
In this article, we'll look at the only squad that has beaten its round of 16 opponent twice.
First and foremost, Chelsea.
Chelsea's Thomas Tuchel's team were drawn to face the winners of Group G and the defending French Ligue 1 champions after placing second in Group H behind Juventus.
Chelsea won 2–0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Manchester City thanks to goals from Christian Pulisic and Kai Havertz. The Blues had numerous obstacles in the second leg of their Champions League campaign against Lille as a result of the sanctions imposed on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, but Thomas Tuchel's team still won 2–1.
Despite their current dilemma, Chelsea were able to keep their focus on the pitch and come out on top.
Chelsea is the only side in the Champions League Round of 16 this season to win both legs, and they currently boast the best defense in the league thus far.
In addition, Thomas Tuchel set a new record in the tournament by winning his 32nd game as Chelsea manager, giving him 50 games in charge and 32 wins overall.
Chelsea are considered underdogs to win the Champions League this season after winning the competition in 2021. The Blues, on the other hand, can yet shock the world by winning a second consecutive European Cup, as they did last season.
Do you think Chelsea can win the Champions League for the second time this season?
