Before we get tucked into this mouth-watering affair, let's take a look at how last night went, yeah?
Liverpool just love providing us some entertaining late drama, and they did it yet again last night against Atletico Madrid.
Arne Slot's side started like an Avanti West Coast train gunning for Manchester Piccadilly from London Euston. Crazy quick.
Two goals inside six minutes had Liverpool cruising; it seemed as though they would coast to three points. This was the performance we had been waiting to see from the Premier League champions; they looked back to their flowing best.
But it was just too easy for them, so they decided to throw another two-goal lead away to make things interesting, just like they did against Bournemouth and Newcastle in the league.
Marcos Llorente scored yet another brace at Anfield - he loves the place so much he named his dog after it - and you were thinking that 'surely Liverpool can't do it again'.
But they did. Virgil van Dijk, in the second minute of stoppage time, headed a thumping header into the back of the net to send Anfield wild.
Meanwhile, things didn't go too well for Chelsea.
Harry Kane bagged a brace in a 3-1 win for Bayern Munich, teaching a crucial lesson to this young Blues side.
Bayern's experience was the difference in the end. It's a reality check for the Blues, plain and simple. They played well in long spells but were the architects of their own downfall.
So yeah, it was a big night, and now it's time for another one.
