The Champions League will return to our screens in 2021.
Through all the twists and turns of 2020, Europe’s premier competition kept plucking away and the group stages for the 2020/21 campaign were completed at breakneck speed over recent weeks.
As a result, we can now rub our hands together in anticipation of the knockout rounds with the 32 teams who originally qualified having been cut down to 16 for the road to Istanbul.
