2012 Champions League Preview Last 16
The Champions League 2011-2012 season has reached it`s eliminatory phase. The best 16 club teams from Europe will fight in 8 double legs for one place in the quarter-finals of the competition.

The first leg will be played on 14, 15, 21 and 22 February and the second leg will be played on 6, 7, 13 and 14 March.

Here are some of the most interesting games that will be played in this phase of Champions League:

AC Milan v Arsenal - The double leg between these two teams will be the attraction of this phase of the competition. Both are top teams from Europe, and both of the games will be spectacular. Arsenal will have the advantage to plat the second leg at home, but they need to score in the fist leg in Milano. Any goal on San Siro will bring them closer to the next phase. Milan is a very powerfull team when playing at home, and they will try to get a very a good advantage in the first leg.Checkyourodds prediction for AC Milan v Arsenal - 2:1 Check AC Milan v Arsenal Odds

Napoli v Chelsea Another very interesting encoutner will be the game between Napoli and Chelsea. Napoli already eliminated a team from England, Manchester City and now they will have to play against another top team from England, Chelsea. If the games against Manchester City were in the group stage, and a bad result would be repaired in the next games, here, there is no second chance. A bad result in the first games, diminishes the chances to get through to the next stage of the competition. Chelsea plays well away from home and they have the strength to score at least one goal in Italy, result that will make their job easier in the second leg at home.

Basel v Bayern Munich Basel is the surprise of this stage of the competition. They have sent Manchester United to Europa League and they qualified for the last 16 phase of Champions League. To get further, they will need to eliminate Bayern Munich, a team that is used to the superior phases of the competition. They have played against each other last season in the group stage and Bayern Munich won both of the games. They are favorites to do the same this season as well.
