Resumption of the UEFA Champions League

The annual continental club football competition organized by the Union of European Football Associations, the UEFA Champions League is scheduled to light our screens as top-division European clubs prepare to battle for top honors.

The group stages have witnessed both cagey and high scoring matches as all teams seek to outwit each other. Tuesday’s group A matches were characterized by draws as England’s Arsenal battled to a 1-1 result against PSG who were wasteful in front of goal.

Group C however was a different scenario altogether as both Barcelona and Manchester City ran riot smashing their opponents Celtic and Borussia Monchengladbach 7-0 and 4-0 respectively creating an all enticing prospect of the thought of Pep Guardiola reuniting with his former team.n

The result was replicated elsewhere in Portugal as Benfica was held to a similar goal margin by Besiktas.

Borussia Dortmund was impressive against its Polish opponents Legia Warszawa thrashing it 6-0 as last year’s eventual champions Real Madrid needed inspiration from their star player Cristiano Ronaldo to overcome a stubborn Sporting 2-1.

Premier League’s Champions, Leicester was also stunning making history by being the only England team to record a win in their UEFA debut after it defeated Club Brugge 3-0.

German machine Bayern Munich was the other high flying team after it crushed its opponents FC Rostov 5-0.
