The Champions League returns for the final round of the league phase on Wednesday, which could prove to be a chaotic evening of action across the continent as all 18 matches kick-off together at 8pm UK time.

The draw for the knockout phase play-offs will be held pretty swiftly after the group stage is completed, with teams learning their fate on 31 January. Then the first legs will be played on 11-12 February and the second on 18-19 February. That gives the top eight teams a useful spell without European football as the round of 16 begins on 4 March.

The final fixtures of the group stage of the 2025 Champions League take place on Wednesday evening and with every side set to be in action throughout the evening, plenty could still happen
