The Champions League last 16 draw has been made and we now know what to expect.
So, now thatâs out of the way, what are the storylines to look out for?
Manchester Cityâs visit to Real Madrid has got us very excited.
It was Madrid who stopped City on their best Champions League outing so far, beating them in the 2016 semi-finals. This is a different City, though, and a different Madrid, too.
A trip to the BernabĂ©u is daunting for anyone but Pep Guardiolaâs got plenty of history and it may not be the ideal hunting ground considering his less than stellar record on the road in the competition.
We wonât be able to take our eyes off of this one.
⊠in Munich?
Frank Lampard captained Chelsea to the Champions League trophy back in 2012, in Bayern Munichâs Allianz Arena, against Bayern Munich.
It was heartbreak for the Bundesliga giants.
And now Lampard returns as Chelsea boss.
Bayern will be absolutely desperate to make sure he leaves a loser this time around.
AtlĂ©tico Madrid are just the opponent Liverpool wouldnât have wanted.
Dogged defensively, stubborn at set-pieces, and generally just footballâs biggest nuisance. Liverpool will have to bring out the battering ram to break down Diego Simeoneâs side.
Going forward, this is a great chance for JoĂŁo FĂ©lix to announce himself on the biggest stage of all. Atleti will look to harness the underdog status that Klopp generally tries to enjoy so much and it could work out for them.
If the Reds donât grab an away goal in the first leg, theyâll need all of Anfieldâs powers to get through.
Thomas Tuchel heads back to Germany to take on Borussia Dortmund.
The PSG boss left in controversial circumstances, leaving a trail of dissatisfaction behind him. Fans and players will not be opening their arms for his return.
Of course, he heads back as the favourite to progress. Kylian Mbappé, Neymar, Mauro Icardi and Marco Verratti. Against Jadon Sancho, Marco Reus, Axel Witsel and Mats Hummels.
This could get very tense.
