With
Sporting Lisbon-Manchester City
and the highly anticipated
Paris SG-Real Madrid
, the European cups are back on Tuesday after the winter break, specifically with the first two games of the Champions League round of 16.
The day after, Salzburg-Bayern Munich
will be played
, a double challenge with one-way predictions, and above
all Inter-Liverpool
.
In this regard, it must be said that, in view of the San Siro match, Jurgen Klopp did not think about making a turnover, and today in the league against Burnley he sent the typical formation, the one with Salah and Mané returning from the final. of the African Cup, and that it will be the same (unless Diogo Jota takes the place of Firmino forward) that he will field at the Meazza.
Having said that Juventus, reinforced by the grafts of Vlahovic and Zakaria, will return to the maximum European limelight only on Tuesday 22nd, on the Villarreal field, the attention is almost entirely on Psg-Real on Tuesday.
Sergio Ramos, due to injury, will miss the rendezvous with the club of which he has been the symbol for many years, while Pochettino will be able to count on Neymar's availability.

At home 'merengue' Ancelotti will try until the last moment to recover Benzema, who has not trained with his teammates for a few days.
The technician also focuses on Vinicius,
On Tuesday 22nd the new world champion Chelsea will also return to the field in Europe
to deal with Lille,
while on Wednesday 23 it will be up to
Atletico Madrid and Manchester City
and to
Benfica and Ajax,
the latter very interesting comparison to understand if the Amsterdam team is really returning (as it seems from how he plays and how much he scores) that show car, always driven by Ten Hag, which in 2019 touched the final undergoing a real mockery from Tottenham.
Thursday 17 will instead be the turn of the round of 32 of the
Europa League
, with two very demanding challenges for the Italians, given that
Napoli will play at the Camp Nou against Barcelona
, while the
Lazio will be at the 'Dragoes' home of Porto
of the great ex Sergio Conceicao, who however seems weakened by the winter sale of Luis Diaz to Liverpool.
Atalanta will instead receive a visit from Olympiacos Piraeus
.
