I think whoever advances out of the RM/City game ends up beating Lyon/Juve. Juve got a break that Inter and especially Lazio have stumbled out of the restart, so they should cruise to the Serie A title without much difficulty, but that's still a team with long term questions. Madrid would've come back from the 2-1 deficit and have Ramos back, and City has too many weapons for a 1 legged tie. My guess is City advances against Madrid; Juve advances past Lyon, and than City beats Juventus

Atletico/Leipzig will be fun, but have to give the edge to Atletico with the brick wall known as Jan Oblak in net.

Barcelona with the road goal in Naples I think is enough to get though Napoli, and I don't think there's any way Bayern loses at home by 4 goals as even a 3-0 loss just sends that to extra time, so we are down to Barcelona vs. Bayern. And what a fascinating game that would be. I think I would take Bayern even over 2 legs, more balance in the squad than Barcelona.

Atalanta/PSG has the potential for a lot of goals and I'm picking the upset with Atalanta here. PSG, at this point in the competition usually falters, and they are at a disadvantage with not having played a competitive game for 5 months while Atalanta would've finished up the domestic league a week earlier. And Atalanta's form has been fantastic since the restart jumping from 4th to second currently in the Serie A table.

Semifinals:

Bayern over City. Pep's current team against his former team. I'll take Bayern with Lewandowski and Neuer.

Atletico over Atalanta. Oblak and Diego Simeone's defensive style can neutralize the Atalanta attack so I'll pick Atletico to go through.

Finals:

Atletico over Bayern. Sure, why not?? Atletico has been here before, and I think over a 1 game they can play with Bayern. They've been here before recently and haven't gotten over the hump, why not them this year??

Europe's top competition represents City's remaining chance to add to their retained EFL Cup this season, following a lacklustre 2-0 loss to Arsenal in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final.

Guardiola was critical of his players' performance over the opening 45 minutes of that match and they are set for a period of intensive work on the Etihad Campus training pitches in the 12 days in between the concluding Premier League encounter against Norwich City on July 26, and Madrid's visit to Manchester on August 7.

If the same City team that showed up against Arsenal in the FA Cup semifinal shows up against Real Madrid, Real will win that easily.
