#5 Porto vs Ajax

FC Porto v FC Schalke 04 - UEFA Champions League Group D
FC Porto v FC Schalke 04 - UEFA Champions League Group D

FC Porto managed to top their group but still, there won't be many favouring them to go past one of the European giants. Similarly, Ajax were brilliant in their Champions League group and almost managed to top their group ahead of a giant like Bayern Munich. With all due respect, none of them is expected to go past the round of 16 in the Champions League if they draw one of the European giants.

But Porto and Ajax themselves have basked in European glory in the past. Maybe not a European giant anymore but both Ajax and Porto are giants of the Netherlands and Portugal respectively, they also happen to be the sole representatives of their nations in the round of 16. Drawing each other will make this tie interesting to watch and will be a more balanced tie than Manchester City vs Ajax or Liverpool vs Porto for instance.

Do comment below which fixtures among these you wish to see happen in the round of 16 in the Champions League.
