Bayern easily will pass Porto
Barca vs PSG is quite difficult not an easy game for Barcelona as many thinks it is.
Real vs Atletico IMO will be quite a boring game with atletico perhaps doing the usual and scrap a close victory.
Our game against Monaco is a bit tricky, if we focus is both game we will pass them but I really hope we don't get arrogant and think it's an easy game just to get knocked out like Arsenal.

I read that Monaco is an excellent defensive team. Their new coach transformed the team from playing attacking football to defensive football after the exodus of their best players last year. This team is going to park the bus and be very hard to break down.
The worst thing we can do is underestimate them b/c then we may lose a game 1-0 or something. Pirlo will probably be useful for this game.

as you asked yesterday for some german reactions to the dortmund game(s), here is another one:
http://www.spox.com/de/sport/fussba...chen-barcelona-paris-real-madrid,seite=2.html
it seems we left a pretty good impression, at least spox sees it that way
.
they see us as the 3rd best team left in the competition, behind 1. bayern and 2. barca.
i don´t want to argue how reasonable that is (it isn´t) but still some nice words:
"juve surely have been one of the biggest surprises in this years cl season.
italian football has been pronounced dead quite often in the last few year. even juve´s 3 titles in a row couldn´t change that.
but juve´s games against dortmund showed that this team possesses enormous qualities.
an early goal always favours the italians a big deal because juve looks inpregnable defensively.
the collective moves against the ball with great discipline and doesn´t show the opposition a lot of gaps.
additionally they are quite strong on the counter, which works brilliant because of the world-class central player pogba and vidal and an in-form tevez up-front.
the only downside of this juventus team: they struggle to implement a possession game against strong opponents.
this could lead to juve getting under a lot of pressure against dominant teams like bayern or barca.
nevertheless, their victory against dortmund showed that they are well able to handle even that."

Monaco fans are very happy to have drawn us 
We got lucky in this draw as Monaco are the weakest side left in the UCL. If we show up like we did against Dortmund we have a real chance at the semis here. Thrilled by this draw, I figured we'd get fucked and draw one of the FCBs.
