Who did every Champions League team buy and sell in January?
The Champions League is back! Europe’s premier club competition returns this week for the knockout stage and there are a host of mouth-watering clashes.
The tie of the round sees PSG take on Real Madrid, but the matches between Inter and Liverpool and Atletico Madrid against Manchester United will also excite all neutrals.
Elsewhere, champions Chelsea play Lille, favourites Man City face Sporting Lisbon, Bayern tackle Salzburg, Villarreal host Juventus and Benfica face Ajax.
One of the most interesting aspects in the knockout stage will be the registration of new signings.
