With a combined aged of 72, it says a lot about the staying power of Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez that much of the interest around Atletico Madrid and Manchester United's European tie is focused on the two war horses.
Despite the emerging young talents in both squads, it still feels as though it will be Ronaldo and Suarez who play a huge part in determining the winner of their Champions League showdown.
They have amassed 253 appearances and 167 goals between them in Europe's top club competition and their experience will be vital in settling one of the round of 16's closest ties.
