Hello and welcome everyone to The Athletic, where today, it’s crunch time in the Champions League.
All 36 teams remaining in the competition play at exactly the same time as the league phase finishes, with sides discovering whether they’ve made it through in an 18-match bonanza: everything, everywhere, all at once.
The likes of Liverpool and Barcelona are sitting pretty at the top of the table and have qualified automatically, but plenty more massive sides across Europe including Paris Saint-Germain, holders Real Madrid, and Manchester City are in genuine danger.
Who will make the top eight? Who will have to settle for the play-offs? And who will miss out entirely? The Athletic is the perfect place for you to find out, with all the build-up, team news, stats, quotes, colour, and more from around the continent.
So stick with us!
