With the postponement of Euro 2020 this summer, the latter stages of the Champions League will be as close as we get to a major tournament. The teams left in the competitions will gather in Lisbon to play out the remaining games over a two week period beginning on August 7th.
If we weren't excited enough for the mini tournament, the draw that took place this morning has thrown up some unbelievable ties.
There are still a few last-16 ties to be decided, but even most of those look heavily balanced in the favour of one team.
The tie of the quarter finals is a potential meeting of Barcelona and Bayern Munich if both teams can overcome their respective last 16 ties.
Manchester City will face Juventus or Lyon if they can overcome Real Madrid in the last 16.
One side of the draw is much tougher looking once we get to the semi-finals, with Atletico Madrid being the only potential team in the second semi-final to hav played in the Champions League final in recent years.
Here's the draw in full.
