Five big talking points ahead of Wednesday's Champions League action live on DAZN
The UEFA Champions League week continues tonight with the remaining games from Matchday six, which offers up another set of intriguing match-ups.
Two juggernauts meet in the round's standout tie, but there is plenty more to look forward to as teams start to look towards the league table and what they need to do to qualify for the knockouts.
DAZN News assesses the key talking points across Wednesday's mouthwatering set of fixtures.
Giants resume rivalry
The Real Madrid vs Manchester City series is becoming an annual Champions League tradition, as the two teams meet for the fourth season in a row.
This time around, the stakes are a little different, as they face each other in the league phase as opposed to the knockout rounds of the last three years.
While the intensity that comes with the threat of being ousted won't hang over this meeting, both will want to secure their passage to the next stage as quickly as possible.
Madrid have had City's number for the past two years, knocking them out on both occasions. They will also have home advantage, but come into this one with only one win in the last five games in La Liga.
City, meanwhile, have closed the gap on Arsenal in the Premier League and look to be finding their groove in a way only Pep Guardiola can inspire.
Add in the obvious head-to-head of Mbappe and Haaland, and it's a match not to be missed.

Can Magpies fly back up the table?
Newcastle have saved some of their best performances of the season for the Champions League, but found themselves on the wrong end of a defeat on Matchday 5 when they lost in Marseille.
They are back on the road tonight, this time with another tricky-looking test against Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
The Germans have put the thrashing at the hands of PSG behind them to win their last two Champions League games, including the victory at Manchester City last time out, which left them just a point behind the Magpies in the table.
Eddie Howe's team goes into it with the better domestic form and will hope the form of Harvey Barnes and Nick Woltemade can inspire another standout European display.

Spalletti looking for spark
Juventus took another big defeat at the weekend in Serie A, as Napoli reaffirmed their status as current champions by beating Juve and old boss Luciano Spalletti.
It's been the pattern for Spalletti since taking over the Old Lady: he's struggled to get the team going and find some form in both the league and Europe.
So far, the Italians have won only one of their Champions League matches - a 3-2 victory over Bodo/Glimt - but next up host Pafos, a game they are expected to win.
But it's not just a win Juve needs. It's a comfortable, statement victory that's required to really get Spalletti's reign going and to reboot a season that already looks like falling short of expectations.

Arsenal bouncing back
The Gunners haven't had to 'bounce back' too often this season, but they'll be able to get over their last-ditch defeat to Aston Villa by continuing their perfect Champions League campaign in Belgium at Club Brugge.
Arsenal's win over Bayern Munich last time out put down a marker to show they are the team to beat, at least in this league phase, where they are the only side that has won five out of five.
To make it six, they need to be the first side to try and beat Brugge in their own backyard in this season's Champions League, and do it with continued injury issues in the centre of their defence.
The Belgian's have already held Barcelona to a draw at home this season, so although Mikel Arteta's men will be favourites, they'll need to be wary of not dropping points for a third game in a row.

Conte to pile it on Jose
It's hard to work out which Napoli version will turn up this week, given the erratic form of the Italian's in this season's competition.
Their win over Qarabag last time out was only their second in five Champions League games, and the Serie A champions are still struggling to make their mark in the competition.
Tonight, Antonio Conte will come up against an old foe in Jose Mourinho, whose Benfica side finally got off the mark on Matchday 5 with a win over Ajax, following four straight defeats, looking to end the Portuguese's run in the competition and break into the table's top eight.
