Virgin Media Sport, the new home of European football in Ireland.

 

Well, that was a memorable international break for Ireland wasn't it?

After a fortnight of managerial changes for the Boys in Green, club football returned at the weekend and straight off the back of that, the Champions League and Europa League return for the fifth round of group games.

And they can be found on a TV screen near you...

TUESDAY

AEK Athens vs Ajax

K.O: 5.55pm

Last time Ajax qualified for the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, it was the 2005-06 season. 

The four-time European Cup/Champions League winners have a wonderful chance to end that knockout round drought.

Ranked second in their group behind Bayern Munich, they hold a four point advantage over fellow European historic giants Benfica with just two games to go.

If Ajax win at AEK, the Dutch side will definitely advance to the next round while a draw will also be enough should Benfica not beat Bayern Munich.

Wednesday

Atletico Madrid vs Monaco

K.O: 5.55pm 

Thierry Henry finally earned his first win as AS Monaco manager at the weekend domestically, with the club still languishing in the bottom three in Ligue 1 after surprisingly struggling prior to and during his current stint in charge.

They are already out of this season's Champions League though and with Atletico Madrid still needing at least a point to qualify for the last-16, it's a case of trying to keep the scoreline down to a respectable margin for Monaco at the Wanda Metropolitano against an Atleti side which drew 1-1 with Barcelona on Saturday night.

Paris Saint Germain vs Liverpool

K.O: 8pm 

Liverpool continue to keep pace with Manchester City in the Premier League but their European form has been wildly inconsistent, ranging from a win over PSG at Anfield to a chastening loss at Red Star Belgrade.

But the nature of their group has seen all four teams perform inconsistently, leaving Napoli and Liverpool top on six points, with PSG third on five points and Red Star another point further back.

There is little margin for error for any team which means the tension will be turned up to the max when Jurgen Klopp's team line out at Paris' Parc des Princes. 

And it appears as if Neymar and Kylian Mbappe will be fit to be involved for PSG after picking up injuries on international duty.
