After last week's international action, the focus of the footballing world returns to the Champions League again as half of the round of 16 second legs are scheduled to take place this week.
On Tuesday, Italian champions AC Milan travel to Arsenal as they defend a commanding 4-0 lead from the first leg at San Siro three weeks ago.
Elsewhere, Portuguese powerhouse Benfica host Zenit St. Petersburg, aiming to overturn a 3-2 away defeat.
Barcelona lock horns with Bundesliga representatives Bayer Leverkusen at Camp Nou on Wednesday - the holders are 3-1 up.Finally, surprise package APOEL Nicosia lost the away match against Olympique Lyonnais 1-0, and will be hopeful of turning the tables in the second leg at home.
Once again, Goal.com's expert reporters will be on hand to provide you with quality coverage and analysis, but here's what they think may unfold on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Arsenal2-1AC Milan
KRIS VOAKES SAYS...
Arsenal have a point to prove after the first leg, and their domestic results have taken a turn for the better, but still this one is over as a contest.
No team has ever come from four goals back in a Champions League knockout tie, and Arsenal simply don't have the defence to back up whatever attacking intentions they may have in their quest to make history.
Expect the Gunners to give Milan a bit of a fright with an early onslaught, but the Rossoneri are likely to grab at least one at the other end to make the task that bit harder for Arsene Wenger's side.
Benfica
1-1Zenit St Petersburg
LUIS MIRA SAYS...
The match against Zenit could not have come at a worse time for the Aguias: they head into this game on the back on four winless matches and their Portuguese Liga title chances have taken a considerable blow after the 3-2 defeat against Porto in front of their own crowd.
Benfica will also be without Ezequiel Garay and Pablo Aimar, two players who have been key in defence and midfield, respectively.
In the first leg, there was little difference between the two clubs - but Benfica's poor run means that Zenit remain favourites to go through.
Barcelona
3-1
Bayer Leverkusen
CLARK WHITNEY SAYS...
The Catalan giants might have expected an even greater result had they played the first leg at home, but now with a 3-1 advantage, Pep Guardiola's side can cruise to the quarter-finals without too much trouble.
Given Leverkusen's sequence of three consecutive wins in the Bundesliga and the high probability of Barcelona to use at least a few reserves, it would not be the least bit surprising for the Germans to grab an away goal, or even two. Just don't expect a miracle.
APOEL Nicosia
1-1Olympique Lyonnais
ROBIN BAIRNER SAYS...
The domestic form of OL has been dreadful over the last few weeks, culminating in a pitiful 2-0 defeat away against Nancy last weekend.
However, Remi Garde's men boast a one-goal advantage heading into the second leg, and crucially they shut the Cypriots out three weeks ago, meaning that if they register even once, the hosts will have to score two more than them to progress.
Lyon should have it in their locker to find the net, and that would likely be enough, even if actually winning the match is beyond the ailing French club.
