Who has not thought that to the Madrid will touch him the Besiktas?

It is a controversial question, it is necessary to recognise it. There is not reason to think that the draw of the eighth of final of Champions League 2017-18 can be 'marked' of some form, neither neither to think that the Real Madrid will have the best of the lucks when remaining matched with the rival a priori feebler of which can touch him in eighth, the Besiktas, respecting always the potential of the Turkish team.

But it is undoubted that more than a culé will be thinking, finalised the day 5 of the phase of groups of the Champions 2017-18, that the Real Madrid will have the 'flower' to remain matched against the group otomano in the following eliminatory round of the prestigious European tournament.

Manchester City, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea... All they can be possible rivals to confront to the Real Madrid in eighth of final, but taking into account the big luck that has had the Real Madrid in the last years, matching almost always with the feeblest rivals of each round, fits to stand out that the Besiktas wins weight like possible opponent preferred by the merengues.

And the true is that it would be a blessing for the ones of Zidane, that are not finding with his best game in this start of season 2017-18 and are sinning of fault of confidence, joined to the plague of lesionados in the white staff and to the crisis of game that crosses the team.

The goleada in front of the Apoel of Nikosea (0-6) served to turn off some isolated fires, but the general fire still burns to fault that they chain several consecutive triumphs in LaLiga Santander to try approach to the FC Barcelona in the classification.

The draw will favour or will prejudice to the Real Madrid

In December, the draw of the eighth of final of Champions League could favour to the interests madridistas if it goes out the bolita of the Besiktas, where at present play players already in the final stretch of his sportive career, like Quaresma, Pepe or Adriano. Nevertheless, also it can be a hard varapalo for the Real Madrid if it goes out the ball of Paris Saint-Germain of Neymar or the Manchester City of Guardiola.

In theory, the mathematical possibilities are the same for each one of the possible rivals of the Real Madrid. In the practice, it will be necessary to see which is the future opponent for the ones of Zinedine Zidane in a round, the one of eighth of final, that will be a suplicio or a blessing.
