Not much interest I know but first 4 of 8 head-to-head matches starting today. Eight winners of 2 match aggregate play 8 teams that received byes.

Probably best matchup will be ManC vs Real Madrid starting today. ManC way off in play this season but arguably best frontman (Haaland) in the world along with possibly best midfielder (De Bruyne). Though looking at RM with Mbappe and Bellingham maybe taking over De Bruyne spot as best mid. And Vinny Junior and Rodrygo alongside Mbappe.

Be a real surprise if ManC somehow finds enough form to beat RM. My bigger interest is Juventus vs PVS being a slight fav at home tonight. Though Juve has been so inconsistent this season.

@Tron both might start today but hopefully will be seeing plenty of McKennie and Weah for US in 2026!

ManC blew it after being up 1-0, 2-1 and lose 3-2 at the very end. Bellingham scores the winner from Vinny J. RM will be tough to beat next match at home.

Unreal both Italian clubs are out. BM needed an extra time goal to advance. Very surprising results yesterday!
