The action kicks off as Palmeiras face Botafogo on Saturday as the Brasileiro Série A sides meet on the world stage. Later in the day, Benfica take on Chelsea in a rematch of the 2013 Europa League final.
Lionel Messi will come up against some familiar faces in the last 16. Messi’s Inter Miami will take on his former side – and Champions League winners – Paris Saint-Germain in the next stage.
