Published on August 7, 2020, the world of football is finally back in action after a 150-day hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

As the Champions' League resumes, the competition's elite format has been tweaked, with quarterfinals and semifinals now being played as a single match instead of two legs.

The 'Final Eight' will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, with the quarterfinals starting on August 12 and the final scheduled for August 23 at Benfica's Estadio da Luz.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is facing a daunting task as his team trails 3-0 in their last 16 clash against Bayern Munich. The team's key players are injured, and the venue is hostile.

Bayern Munich's Hansi Flick has led his team to an unbeaten streak of 22 games, with striker Robert Lewandowski scoring 51 goals this season.

Frank Lampard's team will need a miracle to book their flight to Lisbon, but the Chelsea fans are willing to pay heavily for it.
