The 2019-20 UEFA Champions League group stage makes a foreseen return in September. The UEFA Champions League tournament kick-off on Tuesday.
Defending champions Liverpool face a precarious opening fixture in Group E against Napoli. The Reds were beaten at the Stadio San Paolo in last season’s competition yet won the arrival at Anfield.
The pick of Tuesday’s Champions League fixtures seems to be at Signal Iduna Park, where Borussia Dortmund welcome Spanish champions Barcelona in Group F.
Wednesday brings another eight fixtures and some all the more breaking ties. Last season’s beaten finalists Tottenham Hotspur are at Olympiakos, Atletico Madrid take on Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain host Real Madrid.
Group A is as of now appearing to be one of the most exciting match-ups, with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain set to fight it out in the group stage. The current year’s so-called Group of Death comes as Group F, which includes Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Inter and Slavia Prague.
