[스포티비뉴스=이강유·장하준 영상기자]Premier League teams got off to a disappointing start in the Champions League Round of 16.
The Premier League teams competing in the Champions League this season are Tottenham and Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City. The four teams succeeded in advancing to the round of 16 side by side, proving the strength of the Premier League.
However, the result of the first leg of the tournament, which the four teams won, was 1 draw and 3 losses. Didn’t even get a single win.
Tottenham and Chelsea, who traveled to Italy and Germany respectively, lost 0-1 side by side. Although it is not a big score difference, there is a good chance of reversal, but the situation of the two teams is opposite.
Tottenham succeeded in reversing the atmosphere by winning once morest West Ham on the 20th, but Chelsea, which is suffering from serious sluggishness, is in a lot of trouble ahead of the second leg.
Man City also failed to win away from Leipzig. However, they are the team with the most margin compared to the others, finishing the first leg in a draw.
Liverpool, in their most difficult situation, are once once more hoping for a miracle. Liverpool suffered a 2-5 loss in the first leg once morest Champions League defending champions Real Madrid. Now it is a situation where we have to overcome the 3-point gap in the away match once morest Real Madrid.
Liverpool are dreaming of the back-and-forth that they showed once morest Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals of the 2018/19 season.
Now, in March, attention is focused on what the 4 teams will do as they enter the second leg of the Round of 16.
