Mid-week nights, under the lights, continental fights and European sights.
They're back baby.
Liverpool are back in Champions League action on Wednesday against a well-known foe, Atletico Madrid.
Liverpool and Los Rojiblancos first met in 2008/09 and have since met a total of seven, soon to be eight, times.
After winning the 2019 Champions League at Atletico's stadium against Spurs, the team from Madrid have since become a bit of a rival.
Five matches have happened since that night in Madrid, and it's safe to say they've all had a bit of bite after the fixtures in the round of 16 in 2019/20.
Let's dive into our five classic matches:
5 - Liverpool 1-1 Atletico Madrid (08/09)
Not Liverpool's most graceful night in the Champions League, but a familiar face in Maxi Rodriguez put the visitors into the lead in the 37th minute.
Liverpool had shouts for at least one penalty prior to Gerrard's equalising one in the 95th minute, and would have felt unlucky leaving Anfield with anything less than a point.
Fernando Torres was missing from the game due to injury and a baby-faced Sergio Aguero came on in the 71st minute.
Stevie G to the rescue, once again.
4 - Liverpool 2-0 Atletico (21/22)
Part two of revenge for the round of 16 clash in 2019/20.
In a less satisfying victory than the one at Estadio Metropolitano, Liverpool showed they were a force to be reckoned with on their journey to the final that season.
Goals from Diogo Jota and Sadio Mané in the first half ensured the Reds took all three points, while Luis Suarez made another return to Anfield.
A red card for Felipe in the 36th minute made things harder for the Spaniards who barely threatened once the two goals went in.
Total domination.
3 - Atletico 2-3 Liverpool (21/22)
Part one of revenge.
The Reds visited the Estadio Metroplitano for the first time since winning the Champions League there in 2019 and victory here tasted sweet once again.
Antoine Griezmann was Los Rojiblancos' best player until he got himself sent off in the 52nd minute, after scoring two goals for the home side.
Two goals Mohamed Salah and a Naby Keita banger ensured the Reds left Madrid once again with the feeling of victory.
The yellow kit also featured here, which always felt like a Divock Origi special, for some reason.
2 - Liverpool 2-3 Atletico (19/20)
Not our most favourite, but still a classic nonetheless.
Liverpool looked on course to move onto the next round. Gini Wijnaldum's goal took us to extra-time on aggregate and a Bobby Firmino goal in the 94th minute seemed to be all that was needed.
But a Marcos Llorente double, and last minute dagger from Alvaro Morata meant the holders crashed out of the Champions League earlier than anyone expected.
The absence of Alisson was felt strongly, with Adrian filling in for the legendary Brazilian, but he was unable to perform to the level needed to get the Reds past Diego Simeone's side.
1 - Liverpool 3-2 Atletico (25/26)
These fixtures are goal fests aren't they?
Salah and Andy Robertson had given the Reds a two goal lead (the most dangerous) but once again Llorente popped up with a double to break Liverpool hearts.
That was until skipper Virgil van Dijk leaped above everyone else and crashed in a header in the 92nd minute sending Anfield into euphoria.
And Simeone into a fit of rage. Beautiful scenes.
Atletico have had a mixed bag of league results, winning two, drawing one and losing one. Julian Alvarez is also unhappy, so may not feature.
The Reds will be full of confidence after a good result on the weekend, but must be careful to not underestimate the passion of Simeone.
