The Champions League is back again tonight and the action promises to be compelling as 18 teams take to the field.
Here, DAZN News picks some out of the best storylines surrounding the nine games as the likes of Arsenal, Manchester and holders Paris Saint-Germain look to flex their muscles.
The reigning La Liga champions have made a fairly ordinary start to their Champions League campaign, having won at Newcastle before losing at home to PSG
Thus the onus is on Hans Flick’s side to beat Greek giants Olympiakos at home tonight and reassert their European credentials.
Barca won the last of their five European Cups in 2015 but reached the semi-final last term, only to lose agonisingly 7-6 on aggregate to Inter Milan.
Could this be the Catalan giants’ year once more? There is no doubting the talent in their squad.

Arsenal are in fine fettle as they prepare to host Atletico Madrid this evening, having won their last five outings in all competitions.
Mikel Arteta’s men sit top of the Premier League and have taken maximum points from their opening two Champions League games.
They have also kept clean sheets in their last three games, including Saturday’s 1-0 win at Fulham, and belief is growing amongst Arteta’s players.
Facing an Atletico side managed by the fiercely competitive Diego Simeone – a manager often linked with a move to the Premier League – will be a significant test of Arsenal’s pedigree.
It should make for an intriguing contest at the Emirates.

Paris Saint-Germain have purred ominously in their first two Champions League games, having thrashed Atalanta 4-0 before winning 2-1 at Barcelona.
Tonight the defending European champions face a stern test away to a Bayer Leverkusen side who drew their first two matches.
The German hosts will be keen to kickstart their campaign with a famous victory over their aristocratic French visitors.
But who would back against PSG pulling off another win?

Bayern Munich board member and legendary former player Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently branded Newcastle “idiots” for paying £69million for Nick Woltemade.
Well, he goes into tonight’s home clash against Benfica having scored in each of his last five appearances for club and country.
The giant Germany striker, who stands 6ft 6in, is in fine form and will hope to stay on the goal trail against Jose Mourinho’s side at St James’ Park.
And also make the great Rummenigge eat his words. Again.

Manchester City face the Spanish giants tonight at Estadi de la Ceràmica with Haaland in white-hot form.
The Norway striker, 25, has scored 23 goals in just 13 appearances for club and country this season.
He has found the net in his last 11 games and bagged a brace in Saturday’s 2-0 home win over Everton.
That confirmed City are title contenders once again and another win in Spain this evening would underline their Champions League credentials.
The only concern for Pep Guardiola is that City have become too reliant on Haaland.
