0-0 in the City game but the damage was done in the first leg, looks very likely that they will be the only English team in the quarter finals, and its their first champions League quarter final too, so well done to them....

Well my Benfica is pretty much damned. It was a good run while it lasted 
. But Bayern lost to Mainz a few weeks ago, so I have a tiny little hope in me 
There isn't a single game, in my opinion, that both teams are balanced. Don't know why but I'm feeling there's a surprise on hold in the Wolfsburg-Real Madrid match. And I think that PSG is stronger than Man. City. Barça is stronger than Atletico.

Looking at that, I'd probably agree; if the expected winners go through, you've got arguably the 4 best teams in Europe at the moment in RM, Barca, Munich and PSG in the semi's.
As it is, Atletico are certainly not going to roll over, an inspired Aguero can take City through, Munich could capitulate if they played like they did in the 1st half on Wednesday... and Wolfsburg could just spring a good 'ol fashioned surprise.

It looks like that the big clubs might get what they want.
Granted, it will ensure a lot of big games, but pretty much kills the chance of having an outsider getting anywhere near the finals.

Well if an outsider makes it to the finals, it will be because they truly deserve it... I've seen it happen in the UEFA cup so many times, C rated teams draw each-other and all of a sudden you have one of them in the semifinals...
Atletico has ZERO-chance. While surprising Barca with counter attacks and parking the bus is totally doable, 2 games will make sure Barca goes through, no matter what defense Atletico has.
Man City could perfectly go through. I think that is the most even match out there. PSG tends to choke on big games and the lack of experience could be the downfall for either team.
Meanwhile.. RM vs Wolfsburg? If Wolfsburg gets through, some heads will roll at RMs front office.

If an outsider makes it through the groupstage it's already something. Usually the group consists of 2 big clubs, one not so big club and one pure poo.
Edit.
And that's because first of all the qualification for the tournament is flawed. 4 "champions" from one country? And this year we had 5 from Spain.
And second, the draw is just as bad. Just chuck them all in one bowl and go!
