The UEFA Champions League will be making its much-awaited return on Friday. Elsewhere, the Europa League QFs take place while the MLS is Back Tournament comes to a wrap on Tuesday.

Champions League makes its much-awaited return with Friday's City vs Real Madrid, Juve vs Lyon doubleheader 

The Champions League is back! After a long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the determination to wrap up the domestic leagues first, UEFA's premier club competition will be making its return on Friday, August 7, as previously announced. The season gets back underway with two highly-anticipated simultaneous kick-offs: Man City vs Real Madrid and Juventus vs Lyon.

Los Blancos' trip to the Etihad Stadium is one of the highlight games for the round of 16. Zidane's men lost the 1st leg 2-1 despite boasting the home advantage and will be without captain Sergio Ramos for the reverse fixture, which will leave the supporters worried. However, it should be noted that the unfavorable result occurred prior to the break as Real Madrid have been in rampant form since the return of football. Guardiola's side, on the other side, continue to endure ups and downs as they have all season. Who will emerge triumphant? Don't miss this fixture.

The UCL returns on Friday, August 7! Excited for Juve vs Lyon, Man City vs Real Madrid?

Elsewhere, Juventus have their own deficit to overturn, having lost 1-0 to Lyon in the 1st leg. The Italians head into this tie as the Serie A champions, having beaten the likes of Inter Milan, Lazio, and Atalanta to the title. However, one worrying stat is the fact that the Bianconeri have won only twice in their last eight games and while a few of those poor results came after clinching the title, Sarri's men have endured a dip in form.

These are not the only interesting UCL games. On Saturday, Barcelona will welcome Napoli to the Camp Nou with the hopes of making amends for their disappointing end to the season. Bayern will take on Chelsea and given their 3-0 lead, the Germans are expected to confirm their spot in the quarter-finals. The last eight will kick off on Wednesday, August 12, with Atalanta vs PSG. RB Leipzig vs Atletico takes place the following day.

Quick reminder: the knockout stage will not be played on a home-and-away basis but will follow a single-elimination format.

Europa League quarter-final gets underway as Man Utd, Inter Milan, and Wolves face tricky tests

The Europa League round of 16 might have just wrapped up but the quarter-final stage is already upon us. Kicking things off are Inter Milan's showdown with Bayer Leverkusen and Man United's clash with København. Of the two, the Nerazzurri's battle with the Germans is expected to be the thrilling contest as Conte's high-flying side will lock horns with a team lead by the sensational Kai Havertz.

Another interesting fixture is Wolves clash with Sevilla. Jimenez and Co. were unable to secure European football via the league which means winning this competition is now their only route. Unfortunately, they will be taking on one of the most successful clubs in the Europa League.

MLS is Back Tournament wraps up this midweek with Portland vs Orlando City final

Their opposition, meanwhile, have turned things around and have been amazing under new boss Oscar Pareja. The Lions' road to the final was not easy, having to go through – and overcome – the likes of NYFC, LAFC, and Philadelphiaa. Who will walk away with the title? Tune in to find out.
