The UEFA Champions League returns on Wednesday with Matchday 8, which could very well be the most hectic, chaotic day in terms of results that the sport has ever seen. All 36 teams will be in action as 18 games will take place simultaneously at 3 p.

The new format indicates a potential split, with the top eight teams advancing directly to the last-16, while those ranked ninth to 24th will enter a play-off round. Matchday seven is scheduled for this midweek (January 21 and 22), with the final set of games all occurring simultaneously on January 29.
