Barcelona forward Lionel Messi said on Facebook, external: "Our mindset remains the same. We work hard all year to have a chance of winning trophies at the end of the season. We continue to believe in ourselves."

He got 600,000 likes that for that inane nonsense. 

I give my Facebook friends *gold* like a picture of my Pepsi Max or Bulmers Berry cupboard and I get 0.001% of that.

What, we all have Pepsi Max and Bulmers Berry cupboards, don't we?

Bayern Munich defender Medhi Benatia has been left at home to help him recover from an injury today. 

Well that's the official line anyway.

Some German journalists claim the 28-year-old rocked up to the airport before realising he'd forgotten his passport.

However the Morocco international went on Facebook, external to "deny this information" and insist it was just to regain fitness.

Bayern Munich must have thought they were in for a comfortable night - and tie in general - when Arturo Vidal headed home within two minutes of the first leg.

But they were lethargic after that and Benfica defended solidly to give themselves a chance of reaching the semi-finals.

After just over half an hour of their quarter-final first leg, things were looking so good for Atletico Madrid.

Fernando Torres had given them the lead at the Nou Camp and they were playing well.

But then Torres - in a microcosm of his career - went from ledge to dredge (not sure that works). Star to bizarre? Phenomenon to black swan?, external Poacher to choker?

I guess there's a reason everyone uses hero to zero, so let's stick with that.

In any case, Fernando 'did a Torres' and messed everything up by being sent off for two bookings. 

They held on for about half an hour but a Luis Suarez double gave Barca a slim advantage going into tonight's game.

Here's a reminder of how the first legs of tonight's games went.

French Ligue 1

Marseille have been put up for sale by Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, she has confirmed tonight.

The Ligue 1 giants - only above the relegation zone by six points - have been owned by Louis-Dreyfus with her late husband Robert since 1996. 

"The moment a buyer is chosen, I will inform the mayor and the supporters about it," she said. 

"The price isn't my primary concern."

Right, there's a few thousand of you reading this page. If we all put €10 in each, we can probably make a takeover bid. Everyone in?

Who do you think will win this season's Champions League and why? Hipster points for anyone who makes a good argument for Benfica.

Bayern boss Pep Guardiola drops striker Robert Lewandowski and defender Juan Bernat to the bench in two changes from the first leg. Javi Martinez and Xabi Alonso start instead.

Bayern XI: Neuer, Lahm, Kimmich, Martinez, Alaba, Alonso, Vidal, Alcantara, Costa, Ribery, Muller.

Benfica XI: Ederson, Fejsa, Jimenez, Lindelof, Salvio, Eliseu, Pizzi, Jardel, Almeida, Carcela-Gonzalez, Sanches.

Tonight is a feast of football. Imagine these games are your takeaway pizza. Well we also have garlic bread and wedges of live texts for you.

In the FA Cup quarter-final replay, West Ham are at home to Manchester United (19:00 BST). You can watch the game, listen to BBC Radio 5 live and read live text commentary on this page.

And in the Premier League, Crystal Palace face Everton (20:00 BST) in a game most important to me because Romelu Lukaku is my triple captain this week in fantasy football. Live text commentary of that game here.

Benfica are without their major goal pest Jonas tonight through suspension.

The 32-year-old has scored 30 goals in 29 league appearances this season as well as two Champions League strikes.

Bayern boss Pep Guardiola didn't exactly have the violins out, instead reminiscing on a few weeks earlier in 2016 when his side had one fit centre-back.

"We played last month's important matches without key central defenders. When we talk about the situations of the teams, then we have had bigger problems," Guardiola said.

We're still waiting for Benfica to announce their team by the way. They're keeping Bayern Munich (and us) guessing.

Bayern have made two changes from the first leg, by the way. The conspiracy theorists among you will be interested to know Robert Lewandowski and Juan Bernat, who are both one booking from a suspension, drop to the bench.

Nothing says modern football more than Bayern Munich retweeting an advert for a set of expensive headphones less than an hour before a big game.

European football expert on BBC Radio 5 live, speaking on Monday night

"Diego Simeone doesn't rotate that much because he feels he has found his best XI. The most interesting thing about the La Liga weekend was that Atletico Madrid made one change at Espanyol from the Champions League team that played Barcelona. 

"When you think how much physical effort was required in that game at the Camp Nou, it is a huge statement.

"This is Simeone saying 'we are not scared of you'. We are still in this fight for the league title. They haven't thrown the towel in. They are in good form and it is going to be a titanic battle."
