Chelsea vs. Bayern Munich
Chelsea will take on Bayern in a rematch of the 2012 Champions League final, which they won on penalties following a 1-1 draw.
The Blues might be at home on Tuesday, but they will be the underdogs for this tie.
Bayern are flying under Hansi Flick having won 10 of their last 11 matches in all competitions, and they're unbeaten since December 7.
Robert Lewandowski has been central to their excellent form, and he has 38 goals in just 32 games this season:

He netted a brace on Friday to help them record a 3-2 win over Paderborn:
Chelsea claimed a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, but they haven't been in particularly good form of late, having failed to win in four of their last six matches.
They have often struggled at Stamford Bridge, too. On 11 occasions in all competitions this season, Chelsea have failed to win at home, including seven defeats.
With Bayern and Lewandowski in such excellent form, the Bundesliga giants could easily come away from the first leg with the advantage.
Lyon vs. Juventus
Lyon face the unenviable task of taking on Juventus as they bid to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The Bianconeri, who reached the final in 2015 and 2017, are hoping Cristiano Ronaldo can fire them to European glory.
Despite turning 35 on February 5, the forward has been in sensational form of late.
After an unusually quiet start to the campaign, he had scored just six goals by the end of November, but he's racked up 19 in all competitions since December 1.
On Saturday, he marked a milestone match with a milestone goal in Serie A:

11 – Only 3 players have scored at least a goal in 11 league apps in a row in the Serie A history (considering the same Serie A campaign):
Gabriel Omar Batistuta in 1994/95
Fabio Quagliarella in 2018/19
Cristiano #Ronaldo in 2019/20Triumvirate.

Ronaldo comes alive in the Champions League knockout phase, with 65 of his record 128 goals in the competition coming from the round of 16 onwards.
As for Lyon, they're seventh in Ligue 1, having won just two of their last six matches in all competitions, so they're unlikely to be much of a match for the Italian outfit.
