The business end of the UEFA Champions League season is in full swing as action resumes this week. Tuesday saw Barcelona bounced from the competition by Atletico Madrid despite a 2-1 road win, falling 3-2 on aggregate. Meanwhile, PSG went into Anfield and won 2-0 to send Liverpool packing 4-0 on aggregate. 

On Wednesday, Bayern Munich will look to build upon their one-goal advantage over Real Madrid while Arsenal hope to do the same against Sporting Lisbon. The concurrent first legs of these ties painted a fascinating picture about Bayern’s credentials as champions and the Gunners’ potential shortcomings, the second legs likely to add to that narrative one way or another.

With semifinal berths on the line, here’s what you need to know before tuning in.
