UEFA Champions League round of 16 schedule, live stream, how to watch: Can Premier League teams rally?

None of the six English teams won their first leg matches last week, while three carry a three-goal disadvantage into the second leg

The UEFA Champions League returns this week to close things out in the round of 16, last week's dramatic first leg matches setting the stage for a climactic selection of games before the quarterfinals.

English teams entered the round of 16 on a high, five of them earning direct berths to the last 16 while Newcastle United cruised through the knockout phase playoffs to become the sixth. Their overall strength, though, was really tested last week. Not a single one won their first leg matches, while three – Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur –  return home with three-goal deficits to turn around in order to stay alive in the Champions League.

Lopsided victories seemed to be the theme of last week, with the action rounded out by two teams who may already have a foot in the quarterfinals. Bayern Munich notched the first leg's most commanding advantage with a 6-1 win at Atalanta, while Champions League newcomers Bodo/Glimt head to Portugal after a 3-0 win over Sporting Lisbon.

Here's what you need to know before tuning in.
