The UEFA Champions League moves into the Round of 16 this week as Europe’s leading clubs resume their pursuit of continental glory. Action begins on Tuesday in Istanbul at 6:45 pm, where Galatasaray host Liverpool.

The Turkish champions arrive full of confidence after eliminating Juventus in the play-offs, while Liverpool will look to steady their campaign after an inconsistent domestic run.

Three fixtures follow at 9:00 pm. Atalanta welcome Bayern Munich to Bergamo after their impressive comeback victory over Dortmund in the previous round, though Bayern remain among the competition’s strongest contenders. In Madrid, Atletico face Tottenham. Diego Simeone’s side progressed comfortably through the play-offs and will look to capitalise on Tottenham’s recent struggles for consistency.

Meanwhile, Newcastle host Barcelona at St James’ Park. Barca arrive as La Liga leaders and already hold a victory over Newcastle from the earlier league phase, though the Magpies will rely on home support to challenge the Spanish giants. All Champions League matches air live on DStv and GOtv across SS Football Plus HD (DStv Ch. 202), SS Premier League (GOtv Ch. 65, DStv Ch. 203) and SS La Liga (GOtv Ch. 62, DStv Ch. 204). 

Wednesday’s programme begins at 6:45 pm, with Arsenal travelling to face Bayer Leverkusen in a meeting between two technically accomplished sides enjoying strong domestic campaigns. Three more ties complete the first-leg action at 9:00 pm. Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt host Sporting Lisbon after their surprise elimination of Inter in the play-offs.

In Paris, PSG meet Chelsea in one of the round’s standout clashes, while Real Madrid host Man City in another chapter of a rivalry that has become a familiar feature of recent Champions League seasons.
