The Champions League gets under way in mouthwatering fashion on Tuesday as Tottenham travel to face Inter Milan and Liverpool welcome French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
A day later, Manchester City and Manchester United make their bows against Lyon and Young Boys, respectively. All four English sides will be looking to emulate holders Real Madrid in winning the tournament.
Here, Sportsmail's Danny Murphy previews all the midweek action.
Mbappe a star...but PSG should be wary
Kylian Mbappe is one of the most incredible young players I've ever seen. Besides his obvious qualities, what impressed me most at the World Cup was his awareness to pick out the right man when running at full pelt.
Having said that, I'm not sure he and Paris Saint-Germain quite appreciate what's about to hit them against Liverpool on Tuesday.
I don't think it matters who comes to Anfield, they will be taken aback by Liverpool's energy and the atmosphere. It might be my heart ruling my head but I think Liverpool will win. Whatever the French team have heard about Liverpool's home reputation, it's a different thing to experiencing it.
I'll forever remember our 2-0 win Champions League win against Roma in 2002. Gerard Houllier returned for the first time following a life-saving heart operation and the emotion from the fans transferred to the pitch. Roma couldn't cope.
I was at the game in Russia when Mbappe terrorised Argentina with athleticism and skill. But Anfield will be a new challenge.

PSG will dominate the ball, but liverpool will hit them hard on counter.
neymar and mbappe are the ones quick, not cavanni. if I was tuchel I would drop cavanni and use di maria and neymar on the flanks and mbappe lone striker. and draxler and di maria to keep swapping positions.

this little boy Mpape donated all his awards of worldcup to the disability kids, now he've shown his amazing skills to those superstars including Messi as witnessed himself so who think that he's not better than CR7 and Messi??? besides, he's only 19yrs old but he made more than enough. his coach is a German and a Liverpool's coach is also German. both teams have Brazilian stars so let's wait and see
