#1 Return of Ronaldo to Spain

Cristiano Ronaldo has predictably become the essential part of the Juventus squad since joining them in July. The forward has found the back of net 19 times and has provided eight assists in 24 appearances in Italy's top tier League, leading the tournament in both categories.

The talismanic forward is completely on a different level in the Champions League. The 34-year-old has scored four goals in six Champions League games against Atletico Madrid and will hope to score this time as well.

As the all-time top goalscorer in the tournament, Ronaldo's return to Madrid is certainly the biggest highlight of the upcoming UCL fixture. In last year's knockout stage, he scored six goals in seven matches and guided Real Madrid third consecutive title.

Ronaldo has scored 16 goals in his last 12 matches in the knockout stage of the UCL.
