The Champions League has reached the quarter finals

You have to feel bad for Chelsea. The Blues put in perhaps the best performance of any English team in the round-of-16 first leg ties, but are the most likely team to not make it to the quarter-finals of Europe’s premier cup competition. Willian’s goal looked to have capped a majestic showing to put Chelsea in the driving seat against Barcelona, but one mistake from Andreas Christensen - the only mistake the Blues made in the entire match - allowed Lionel Messi to score a valuable away goal which Barca take back to Camp Nou. Chelsea now have to go to Spain needing to either win, or claim a draw higher than 2-2, to progress to the quarter-finals.
Incredibly, not a single Premier League side suffered a defeat in these first leg fixtures, despite few backing Chelsea against Barca and Tottenham at Juventus when the draw was made.
But which team has given themselves the best chance of qualifying for the next round of Europe's premier competition?
