UEFA Champions League: Here's Everything You Need To Know About Second Round Matches

After an engrossing first round, world's favourite club tournament UEFA Champions League returns for its second round fixtures this week.

Barcelona's away fixture in London against Tottenham is the big ticket match of the week, but there are other mouth-watering match-ups like the one involving Manchester United's home match against Valencia, and also defending champions Real Madrid's Moscow visit.

Lionel Messi, with the added pressure of captaining Barca, will hope to continue his scoring form from the previous round, where he hit a hat-trick against PSV. But Barca's arch-rivals Real will be without Gareth Bale when the defending champions take on CSKA in Moscow.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus should have it easy against the Swiss outfit Young Boys. But other big teams like Bayern Munich,  Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain are likely to face still challenge.
