The most prestigious trophy in Europe returns this week. Real Madrid would be looking to defend the title they have won 15 times successfully. Although the Champions League returns, it returns with a different format and feeling. The big names like Real Madrid, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Manchester City are set to participate in this new format. Also, first-timers like Girona, Bologna, and Brest are to compete too. Take a look at the 5 UEFA Champions League matches to watch this week.
1) Milan VS Liverpool
AC Milan will welcome Liverpool to the San Siro on Tuesday night for their first Champions League game of the season. The Rossoneri come into this game with lots of confidence after thrashing Venezia 4-0 in Serie A.
Liverpool on the other hand a coming into this on the back of a negative result. After a great run, the Reds faltered at home to Nottingham Forest by a single goal.
This promises to be a really good encounter and an interesting watch.
2) PSG VS Girona
Paris Saint-Germain will play at home to the Spanish side, Girona on Wednesday. The French giants are a regular Champions League club but not the same as their opponent. Girona will play their first Champions League match in their history.
After a brilliant performance in La Liga last season, Girona earned their place in the Champions League. Well, both sides would be looking to kickstart their European campaign with a good result.
3) Manchester City VS Inter Milan
The Etihad Stadium is the stage for the blockbuster between Manchester City and Inter Milan. This is the replay of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League Final in Istanbul in which City won.
However, both sides can’t underrate each other in this encounter as both are League Champions. Of course, this game would be lively, entertaining, and full of goals.
4) Juventus VS PSV Eindhoven
Juventus versus PSV is set to go down live at the Allianz Stadium, in Turin. This is another tough encounter on paper as the Eredivisie champions are not a team to be written off.
The Old Lady are back in the Champions League after missing out on last season’s edition due to financial reasons. This game would also be a great watch.
5) Atalanta VS Arsenal
Atalanta will face Arsenal in their first game of the new Champions League format at the Gewiss Stadium, in Italy. The Europa League winners are back in the competition after some time away and will face one of the favourites, Arsenal on Thursday.
However, the Gunners are set to participate in another Champions League with the hope of finally getting to win the title. This game is certainly one of the UEFA Champions League matches to watch this week.
