The winners of the four ties will progress to the round of 16 draw, set to take place on Friday afternoon following the final play-off matches in all three UEFA competitions.

Of course, with Champions League matches taking place, the popular panel of Kate Scott, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Richards are covering the games for CBS Sports.

And before many of the matches even kicked off, Richards couldn't hold back his excitement as the show welcomed one of the biggest names in the sport.

During their Champions League coverage, CBS Sports have spoken with several sporting legends, including David Beckham and former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

But perhaps no other guest is quite as big as Ronaldo Nazario, at least that's what Richards appears to believe.

The Brazilian icon joined CBS Sports ahead of his former team Inter Milan's Champions League clash with Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt at the San Siro.

Speaking following Ronaldo's interview, Richards said: "Kate, you can't comprehend what's going on right now... HE IS THE REAL ONE.

"R9, the silver boots, the blue boots, the yellow shirt, the step over. We've just had him on the show, come on now!

During the interview with both Ronaldo and Christian Vieri, Richards made sure to make his feelings towards the former Brazil striker known

"RONALDO I LOVE YOU. I have no question, I just have to tell you that I love you," the Manchester City legend said.

Initially, Ronaldo had some issues hearing Richards' declaration, but eventually thanked him for the love and confirmed that the feeling was mutual.

Ronaldo and Vieri were both present at the San Siro t owatch their former clubs match and to be awarded with special custom framed shirts captioned: "Once an Interista, always an Interista."
