The final two first legs of the Champions League last-16 knockout round are upon us. Inter Milan take on Porto at San Siro, while Manchester City will aim to do what no English team has done thus far in the knockout stages by winning when they take on RB Leipzig.
Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool all tasted defeat in their last-16 clashes courtesy of AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid. Spurs and Chelsea remain alive in their ties as they prepare for the return fixture on home soil after close defeats, but Liverpool face a much tougher task.
Despite racing into a 2-0 lead, Madrid scored five without reply to condemn the Reds to more pain at their hands after beating them in last season's final. Braces from Vinicius Jr and Karim Benzema, along with a rare goal for Eder Militao means Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah's early strikes are now likely seen as no more than consolations.
