The UEFA Champions League finally resumes this weekend, and by the end of August we'll have crowned the winners of a tournament that started just under one year ago.
We have four remaining round-of-16 fixtures to be completed on Friday and Saturday, and the winners of those will enter the quarter-final bracket, which starts on Wednesday.
From the quarter-final stage onward, the tournament will be in single-knockout format—the two-legged, home and away ties are gone—and that adds a new, interesting element to a tournament that already represents club football's zenith for entertainment and drama.
