The Champions League Round of 16 produced dramatic ties, historic results, and standout individual performances. Away from the goals and saves, players also drew attention with their choice of football boots – featuring new releases, customised models, and older-generation favourites. This article breaks down the most interesting boot details from the four matches.
Juventus – Porto
Juventus beat Porto 3–2 on the night but were eliminated from the competition. Despite Federico Chiesa’s strong display, errors and a well‑organised Porto side ended the Bianconeri’s campaign.
On the boot front, Cristiano Ronaldo debuted the new Mercurial Dream Speed 4 in an official match for the first time, pairing them with Juventus’ white socks. Juan Cuadrado and Alex Sandro both wore completely blacked‑out boots – Cuadrado’s were adidas Copa 20.1, while Sandro used the Mercurial Vapor 12. Porto striker Moussa Marega played in a pair of custom Nike Mercurial By You boots.
Dortmund – Sevilla
The match ended in a draw, with Erling Haaland and Youssef En‑Nesyri each scoring twice. Haaland used the new Mercurial Dream Speed boots to reach 20 Champions League goals in just 14 appearances, a record. Marco Reus wore laceless Puma Futures, but this time he opted for the Puma Future 6.1 from the Rise Pack, going back a generation after wearing the Future Z in the first leg.
PSG – Barcelona
Barcelona were knocked out by Paris Saint‑Germain, with Kylian Mbappé starring. Mbappé also wore the new Mercurial Dream Speed boots, joining the list of players debuting the model. Keylor Navas switched his gloves from adidas to Sells.
Leipzig – Liverpool
Liverpool advanced past Leipzig despite a difficult Premier League spell. Thiago Alcântara, having ended his partnership with Nike, wore older Phantom Venom boots. Divock Origi used the previous generation Mercurial Dream Speed (third generation). The most notable boot was Sadio Mané’s – he wore the new New Balance Furon 6+, a model that was officially launched the following day.
