Champions League Draw: 4 Fixtures to watch out for in the group stage


The UEFA Champions League draw took place on Thursday night in Monaco, and, as always, it never disappoints.

We are highlighting below the four fixtures every football enthusiast can not afford to miss and should watch out for once the fixture lists are released.

1. Bayern Munich v Manchester Utd.

Bayern and Man Utd are both drawn in group A alongside Copenhagen and Galatasary. The fixture between these two European giants is definitely one to look forward to, especially with the England captain, Harry Kane, who could have gone to Manchester now plying his trade in Munich.

2. Real Madrid v Napoli

Spanish giant and record champions league winner, Real Madrid are also drawn in the same group with Italian Champions, Napoli, Braga and Union Berlin completes this group. This is a mouth-watering fixture that will feature Napoli’s Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen. It’s surely one to look out for.

3. Arsenal v Sevilla

Arsenal versus Sevilla is another fixture to watch out for. Both are the top teams in Group B. A group that also features the Dutch side, PSV, and French club, Lens. Both PSV and Lens are decent and can easily create an upset. Sevilla received a slot in the Champions League as Europa League champions from last season after beating Manchester United in the final.

4. PSG V Borussia Dortmund

Another mouth-watering fixture to look out for is PSG fixture with Borussia Dortmund. Even though PSG, without a certain Leo Messi and Neymar, may appear weakened, they still have a special talent in Kylian Mbappe. These two sides are also renowned for playing expansive attacking football, and you can be guaranteed some goals. These two are both in the group of death and drawn alongside potential dark horses, AC Milan and Newcastle United.
