As occurs every February, the elite European club competition returns with the round of 16, and this week's action features two Champions League ties with LaLiga teams. Real Madrid are set to face top-class opposition in the form of Maurizio Sarri's SSC Napoli.
The reigning champions enter the fold on Wednesday, having won 28 of their last 33 European home games. They take on Napoli, who enter the last 16 for only the second time in the club's history. It promises to be an exciting encounter, but with one significant absence among Zinedine Zidane's ranks: Gareth Bale. The Welshman has returned to team training, but is not yet deemed match-fit for a game of this calibre. Meanwhile, Sarri has his full contingent available for the clash at the Santiago Bernabeu.
