    Oh wait, there's another game as well tonight isn't there!

    What do you really need to know about it, though? Bayern Munich - Europe's reigning champions and the favourites to win it again - are 4-1 up on aggregate after beating Lazio in the away leg in Rome.

    If there is even a danger that might get overturned tonight we'll be all over it like Leicester against Sheffield United. But does anyone really believe the Italian side have a chance?

    Here's the team news for that match...

    The 1-0 first-leg loss last month is one of only five defeats Atletico have suffered all season in all competitions.

    Spearheaded by the evergreen Suarez and his youthful sidekick Felix, with Marcos Llorente bringing the attacking goods from midfield and the likes of Stefan Savic, Kieran Trippier and Jan Oblak doing what they do in defence, Diego Simeone's lads are not to be taken lightly.

    Chelsea v Atletico Madrid (20:00 GMT)

    A back three it would seem for Chelsea this evening, with Reece James and Marcos Alonso given licence to bomb down the wings.

    Kai Havertz is becoming something of a mainstay.

    Atletico Madrid will be playing four-four-ahem-two. Looking forward to seeing Luis Suarez and Joao Felix in action.

  6. No easy gamespublished at 18:54 Greenwich Mean Time 17 March 2021

    Already into the quarter-finals...

    Borussia Dortmund (Ger)

    Liverpool (Eng)

    Man City (Eng)

    Paris St-Germain (Fra)

    Porto (Por)

    Real Madrid (Esp)

    Who would you fancy facing? Can't see anything but very tough opponents myself. Instinctively, you may opt for Porto, but remember that they dumped Italian champions Juventus out to get to the last eight.

  8. Three is the magic numberpublished at 18:49 Greenwich Mean Time 17 March 2021

    Chelsea v Atletico Madrid (20:00 GMT)

    Two of the three English sides still in Europe's premier club competition are in to the last eight, with Liverpool putting their domestic form to one side to beat RB Leipzig and Man City making light work of Borussia Monchengladbach.

    Tonight, Chelsea can make it three if they can complete the job on Atletico Madrid that they began in Spain last month.

    It being a Diego Simeone side and taking one glance at the La Liga table suggests that is easier typed than done.
