Champions League

The Champions League is back for a competition unlike any other. The final year of the traditional group stage will see the six dramatic rounds squeezed ...

The former have the superior recent pedigree in Europe and any team that have beaten Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and PSV in recent months should welcome their opponents to Ibrox full of belief. He might only have moved to Portugal at the start of this season, but, if his statistics are in any way reflective of his talent, it could be a matter of months rather than years until the Premier League clubs that have been tracking him make the plunge. With RB Leipzig struggling under Domenico Tedesco and Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in an unknowable position while playing their home matches in Poland, there would appear to be a very real prospect that Ange Postecoglu's side can actually make the round of 16. When a string of former players are praising not just his talent but his character -- former Gers defender Craig Moore hailed "his desire to get on the ball and make things happen" -- you can feel confident he won't be overawed by the tests that will come against Ajax, Liverpool and Napoli. On the basis that I expect Haaland and his team mates to be involved in the competition until later than the holders it's the Norwegian that is worth backing. The Bundesliga champions have wobbled in recent weeks; such is the nature of this condensed schedule that one dip in form could be critical. Madrid have perhaps the only group that is as inviting as City's, and there is no question that Carlo Ancelotti's side are set up to funnel chances towards Benzema. Indeed, with the exception of central midfield, Inter might just have the quality across the squad to weather injuries in plenty of positions. They have struggled against top tier Serie A opposition so far this season but if this becomes just a slightly improved version of the team that so tested Liverpool in last season's knockout stages, they could achieve a great deal in Europe. But if they were to escape there is plenty in this squad that suggests it could spring a surprise or two. Yes they may seem to have their particular hang-ups around this competition, but they also have been one of the Champions League's most consistent clubs. The final year of the traditional group stage will see the six dramatic rounds squeezed into less than two months, making room for the Qatar World Cup in a season that will ask more of players than any before.

The Champions League is back and it can't come a moment too soon. Europe's premier club competition roars back into life tonight as the first of the group ...

Below lies a quiz that will require you to answer a question on each club taking part in the group stages. So, as you countdown the hours to kick-off, why not prove to all and sunder that you are a true Champions League fan. This season already promises to be a special one, with two Scottish sides in Rangers and Celtic both booking their spot in the group stage.

One of the most eye-catching draws of the group stage was in Group A, where 2021-22 finalists Liverpool and Scottish side Rangers will face each other.

Di Maria’s team-mate and one-time Manchester United target Adrien Rabiot also faces his former club. Italian side Inter Milan complete what is comfortably the toughest group in this season’s competition. Champions League success has eluded City but manager Pep Guardiola is hoping Haaland will continue his super record in European club competitions, having scored 27 goals in 25 appearances for Molde, Salzburg and Dortmund.

Who's likely to start and who is unavailable or doubtful? UEFA.com predicts the Matchday 1 line-ups.

Robert Lewandowski may raise Barcelona's ceiling but Busquets raises their floor. As Group C shapes up as a group of death featuring Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, ...

With five goals under his belt in all competitions, Nkunku will look to prey on Celtic and Shakhtar Donetsk's defenses to make it to the knockout stages. The heart and soul of the squad, Pepe's combativeness may go over the top at times, but it will also push Porto to punch above their weight in Champions League. With three goals and one assist in Bundesliga play this season, Kamada could be in the middle of a breakout season at an important time after the club lost significant depth this summer. After winning Europa League last season, Kamada and Frankfurt will have a tall task in Champions League but if Kamada can bring his European form from last season that saw him score five goals and assist one more, Frankfurt's chances of making it through the group stage would rise significantly. Flexibility is why Bayern Munich hasn't missed Robert Lewandowski so far this season and he'll even have the added bonus of getting to face off against the player that he replaced when Bayern meets Barcelona during the group stage. While Ajax were chasing him on deadline day, Vlachodimos is still with Benfica and will need to put in a similar performance if they're going to make it to the knockout stages again. If things get wild enough during the group stage, don't count Dinamo out as a dark horse side to make the knockouts. As Group C shapes up as a group of death featuring Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, and Viktoria Plzen, there will be fine margins between a team making it to the knockout stages or heading to Europa League. I say only as that return for would be great for most players, but when Salah scored 23 and assisted 13 more goals last season, he's in a different stratosphere. The departures of club legends Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne mean the team is now built around him. James can lock up a team's best winger -- which will be important facing players like AC Milan's Rafael Leao -- while also linking up with Raheem Sterling to pace the attack. Out of everyone on Chelsea's roster, James is the one player whose absence for any reason could see them crash out of the group stage.

Admittedly, his price is awkward and I’d much prefer it if he was a defender in the game but he is a good punt. They start against a Rangers side who are coming off the back of a 4-0 thumping and it’s at home to boot. With the sale of Antony to Manchester Utd, they’re both nailed on to start and are in terrific form. Julian Brandt (€7m) could be a dark horse option if he starts but Reus’ penalty-taking status gives him the edge. Following N’Golo Kante’s (€5.5m) hamstring injury, Chelsea’s penalty taker has all but cemented his starting spot and is likely to collect ball recoveries while he’s on the field. [SIGN UP TO PLAY UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FANTASY HERE](https://bit.ly/UEFACLMain) A player that’s classified as a midfielder but plays as a wing-back? Last season’s group stage brought seven goals and two assists against the likes of Manchester City and PSG, with fine form continuing thanks to six domestic goals so far. Jota has four goals and assists for Celtic in just six appearances. Vini notched two goals and three assists there, in case you were wondering. Don’t have all five of your midfielders starting on the same night, for example. This makes defensive midfielders just as good of an option as more attacking ones.

Chelsea travel to Croatia to face Dinamo Zagreb in the first match of the 2022/23 Champions League campaign.

We will accept the fight and the challenge and then we can also have the belief and trust we are able to win. "We are very aware what the challenge is to play in a first match away in a group stage. We are ourselves in a moment where we need to improve, we are not fully happy with the results, with our performances. We need to take the next step. They are used to be on the top. Upfront they have speed and dribbling, on the wings.

Chelsea make the trip to Croatia on Tuesday evening when they face Dinamo Zagreb in their first Champions League game of the season.

FIFA 22 predicts that despite taking an early lead and the home side being reduced to 10 men early on, Chelsea could struggle to add to the scoresheet but still claim three points in Croatia. The Blues took control of the game from that point, and Wesley Fofana almost made it 2-0 with 20 minutes to go. Chelsea were quick off the mark, and Havertz came close to making it 1-0 as he broke through on goal within the first two minutes, but he failed to score. The forward's original volley struck the post, but fortunately, the ball fell back to the England international who reacted quickly and prodded home. To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 22 and updated the squads with the latest transfers. So, how could Chelsea perform in their first Champions League game of the season?

Details of the updated Champions League schedule for 2022-23, which has been changed to accommodate the Qatar World Cup.

In the previous campaign the final matchday was played on December 7/8. The final matchday will be played on November 1/2. The semi-finals have also been pushed back by almost two weeks later than the usual schedule. No significant changes have been made in the schedule at this stage of the competition. In the 2021-22 season, the first matchday was on September 15. In order to ensure there is no clash with the [Champions League](https://www.goal.com/en/uefa-champions-league/4oogyu6o156iphvdvphwpck10), European football's governing body UEFA has made changes to its usual schedule.

The 2022/23 UEFA Champions League season is finally back! This new Champions League campaign will officially kick-start on Tuesday night with various.

The three teams also bolstered their squads in the summer transfer window and have come close to winning the Champions League in recent years. The Premier League champions are keen to win their first Champions League after coming close in recent years. The LaLiga champions are on top form so far this season and are yet to lose a match heading into the competition. With the new addition of midfielder, Aurelien Tchounameni and defender, Antonio Rudiger to the Real Madrid squad this summer, the Los Blancos can challenge for the Champions League trophy. The 32 teams participating in the Champions League this term have already been put in different groups, starting from Group A to Group H.

However, the fixture against Sevilla marks Haaland's first European outing for City and he will be looking to continue his electric start to the season. Defender Manuel Akanji signed for City on deadline day from Borussia Dortmund, but his first training session with the squad was interrupted by his wife going into labour with their second child. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will be demanding an improved performance from his players against Sevilla, after he slammed them for not doing the simple things well during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa in the Premier League.

The Spanish Giants are ranked fourth in the world overall in our rankings, and the next-highest team in their group, RB Leipzig, are down in 25th in the model. The Power Rankings machine has the Austrian champions as the 15th highest-ranked side in the world, just one spot above Spurs and ahead of the likes of Juventus, Napoli, Sevilla and even Milan themselves. Similarly, PSG are by far and away the strongest team in their group, and they’ll expect to qualify at a canter. Their power ranking score of 85.7 is the lowest in Group D, and actually the eighth lowest in the overall UCL draw. Celtic, winners of the European Cup in 1967, will be under immense pressure to get out of this draw, with them ranked as the lowest team in Group F. On the flip side, Tottenham’s Group D has the lowest average power ranking across the four teams of 89.3. Rangers are in the group stage for the first time in 12 years after overcoming PSV Eindhoven, and will be a huge test, particular at Ibrox. It’s a group that contains a fellow top ten team in Ajax (8th overall) and Napoli have started extremely well in Serie A this season. Spurs are actually the highest ranked side in this group (14th overall in the world) while Eintracht Frankfurt, who are the top seeded team, are actually ranked as the weakest. You’ve got to really feel for Viktoria Plzeň here, who are the models’ 62nd ranked team in the world being drawn in with the big boys. But the ‘Group of Death’™ looks like Group C. To add insult to injury, Viktoria Plzeň aren’t even the ‘weakest’ team in the draw overall.

The bold move from the club comes after speculation that Real Madrid and Manchester City were showing interest in the 22-year-old. On Tuesday, September 6, Chelsea travel to Croatia to take on Dinamo Zagreb as the group stages of the Champions League get underway. Reece James is set to become Chelsea's highest-earning defender in the club's history, after signing a new deal at Stamford Bridge. He was about the only person in the country in agreement with referee Andrew Madley. The striker was unable to play against West Ham on Saturday after suffering a broken jaw during a violent robbery at his home.
