Liverpool have to pull off another famous Champions League comeback after losing 1-0 away to Atletico Madrid at a raucous Wanda Metropolitano. However, still fresh in the memory is the manner in which the Reds incredibly overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit against Barcelona in last season's semis. More...

PSG are under pressure to perform after losing 2-1 to Borussia Dortmund in Germany but do have the talent to turn this Champions League tie around. The French aristocrats looked dangerous for long periods of the second half at Westfalenstadion and are usually much stronger on home turf. More...

RB Leipzig look to be holding all the aces against an injury-hit Tottenham ahead of the second leg of their Champions League tie in Germany. Only Timo Werner's 58th-minute penalty separated these sides in London, but the Bundesliga outfit looked much the better team for large parts of that contest. More...

Atlanta will take a 4-1 advantage to Valencia for the second leg of their Champions League tie and have vowed to adopt a positive approach at the Mestalla.

Bayern Munich and Tottenham are already assured of finishing first and second in Champions League Group B, but there will still be some spice to this game.

Barcelona have not lost a Champions League pool stage fixture for over three years, but that amazing run may come to an end when they visit Inter Milan.

The final round of Champions League Group H fixtures have fallen nicely for Chelsea, who are expected to progress with a win over Lille in London.

Ajax are in pole position to qualify from Champions League Group H, as they only need to avoid defeat against Valencia to book a place in the last 16.

Ajax have already beaten Lille 3-0 at home in the Champions League this season and the Dutch giants have repeatedly proved they travel well in Europe. Les Dogues have little to play for after picking up just one point from four outings in Group H and just seem a little bit out of their depth at this level. More...

Real Madrid have far more to play for when hosting PSG in Champions League Group A and that makes them a percentage pick to prevail. The Whites will be fired up to avenge September's 3-0 loss in France and still have work to do to progress, whereas the visitors are already safely through. More...

Juventus are fancied to clinch top spot in Champions League Group D by seeing off main rivals Atletico Madrid at Allianz Stadium. The Bianconeri looked the better team during a 2-2 draw when these sides met in Spain on Matchday 1 and crushed Los Colchoneros 3-0 in Turin last term. More...

Tottenham were dominant when thrashing Red Star 5-0 in London but their opponents invariably look a different team on home turf in the Champions League. Vladan Milojevic's side beat Liverpool and drew with Napoli in Belgrade last season, while they have already seen off Olympiakos this term. More...

Atalanta had the audacity to score first when visiting Man City but went on to suffer a 5-1 Champions League mauling in that match.
