It took a while to get there, but Manchester United finally discovered who they'll face in the last 16 of the Champions League on Monday afternoon.
Having initially been drawn against Paris Saint-Germain, United supporters were left fearing the worst as they considered the prospect of inviting Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar to Old Trafford. However, they'll now be facing very different opposition.
Current Spanish champions Atletico Madrid aren't enjoying the greatest of campaigns, sitting in fourth spot in La Liga, 13 points off leaders and rivals Real Madrid.
Their Champions League campaign hasn't been any more impressive, finishing second in their group behind Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp's side beat them in both of their meetings to finishing a whopping 11 points clear of Diego Simeone's men.
I think Ralf Rangnick will be excited at the prospect of this fixture because, while it's a tricky contest, he should be feeling confident that his team can get the job done and claim a huge scalp in this season's competition.
And one of the reasons he shouldn't hold any fear going into the tie is his talisman Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 36-year-old has been criticised at times this season as some believe his lack of pressing has had a major impact on the way the rest of the team perform as a unit.
Personally, I think some of the points being made by pundits and fans have been blown out of proportion, but I understand their concerns. Ronaldo has never been renowned for his intense pressing and so his return of 13 goals in 18 matches so far this season is good enough for me.
There aren't many teams who Ronaldo hasn't scored against in his playing career but there's no doubt he'll be licking his lips at the prospect of playing Atletico.
Only Sevilla (27) have conceded more Ronaldo goals than Atletico (25). He's also bagged an incredible 10 goals away at Atletico Madrid, a figure only surpassed by his hauls at the homes of Sevilla and Barcelona (12).
In total, Ronaldo has scored an astonishing 25 goals and registered nine assists in 35 games against Atleti, and they'll no doubt be dreading having to face him again.
The standout game involving Ronaldo and Atletico Madrid has to be the second leg of Juventus' tie with the La Liga side in the 2018/19 Champions League. Trailing 2-0 from the first leg, a Ronaldo hat-trick knocked Simeone's side out of the competition in sensational fashion.
Every time Atletico lost a Champions League knockout tie between 2014 and 2019, they suffered at the hands of a team boasting the prodigious talent of Ronaldo.
I'm very excited about this game, even if it could be a dull 180 minutes of Simeone football. Either way, the stage is set for Ronaldo to fire Rangnick's side through to the next round and there's nothing the Atletico manager can do to stop him.
