The Premier League’s elite may have all suffered elimination from this season’s Champions League, but there are still plenty of reasons to watch this week’s action.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City fell at the Last 16 stage, while Liverpool got as far as the Group Stages, as Europe’s premier event whittled down to the final eight.

This week sees Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, PSG and Real Madrid all in action, while AS Monaco and FC Porto are out to reach their first European Cup final since the pair met in 2004.

MIDWEEK FIXTURES IN FULL

  • Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid – Tuesday, 19:45
