Your support makes all the difference.Despite their recent success in the competition, Atletico Madrid are not often talked about as one of the favourites to win the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo has so often been the difference against Atleti, but in Madrid it was two Uruguayan centre halves who not only dealt with the five time Champions League winner, but also provided scoring touches of their own. The 2-0 victory at the Wanda Metropolitano could be a sign that Champions League glory may finally cease to elude Simeone’s side.
That will only serve to further frustrate Juventus. They too have lost two finals in the last five years, and the signing of Ronaldo was supposed to be the addition to push them over the line. After the 2-0 loss in Madrid, Juve are staring elimination in the white of its eyes.
Their top scorer produced a match winning performance in Turin last season, but Allegri’s side don’t necessarily need to rely on Ronaldo to perform a miracle. Paulo Dybala, Miralem Pjanic and Mario Mandzukic are all capable of making the difference in one way or another. Follow live coverage below.

Player to watch:
He’s had a fresh breath of confidence since leaving Chelsea, and Alvaro Morata was a handful in the first leg having had a headed goal dubiously disallowed before setting up Gimenez’ strike from the corner. He also scored a brace against Real Sociedad at the beginning of the month, proving a useful option with Diego Costa struggling for form. Could he be the man to grab a crucial away goal and set Juve a near impossible mountain to climb?

Good afternoon and welcome to our live coverage of Juventus vs Atletico Madrid and Manchester City vs Schalke in the Champions League.
Juventus go into this second leg looking to overturn a two goal deficit against arguably the best defence in Europe. Fortunately this guy looks to be in the mood for Atletico Madrid's visit this evening...
Simeone's side will be weary. Ronaldo has a habit of producing against Los Rojiblancos...
Games vs Atletico: 32
Goals vs Atletico: 22
Atletico are in good form
Juve's main man will have his work cut out this time round though. Atleti have been at their best recently...
Atletico Madrid's last five games:
Wins: 5
Goals scored:8
Goals Conceded: 0
Who can Atleti rely on to nick a precious away goal?
Antoine Griezmann is the obvious threat, but new boy Alvaro Morata has had a new lease of life since returning to Spain. He's scored three in his last three and gave Juve's back line a torrid time when he came on off the bench in the first leg.
Manchester City attempt to become the third English team to progress into the Champions League quarter-finals as they host Schalke at home.
They came from behind in the first leg after Raheem Sterling’s 90th minute goal gave them a 3-2 victory in Germany.
A clinical display over Borussia Dortmund saw Tottenham cruise into the last eight and a history making comeback against PSG put Manchester United through as well.
Are Pep’s men up to the challenge as they continue their quest for a quadruple?
Man City vs Schalke
Lots of support for the away fans in Manchester tonight, get ready for a good atmosphere at the Etihad.
