It's time to get down to business folks, the knockout stages are upon us.

After a dramatic Euro 2020 group stage, the round of 16 stage is all set wit some mighty clashes set to go down between some of Europe's heavyweight nations.

However, while no player ever wants to be involved in football's greatest leveller, you simply can't deny that there is nothing quite like a shootout for supreme entertainment value.
