The group stages of champions league are on and there are a couple of big games that start the season right off the bat. The two fixtures that collide are Barcelona vs. PSV Eindhoven and Inter Milan vs. Tottenham – and depending on whether you are a La Liga fan or an EPL fan, the choices are going to be pretty obvious.
Barcelona has been having a terrific season so far and leads the La Liga table with 4 matches and 12 points. Their opponents and top Dutch club PSV Eindhoven is also the leader in Eredevisie with 5 matches played and won. These two top teams from both leagues are set on a collision course that meets at 10.25 PM on 18th September – and is definitely something to look forward to!
The other match that is set on the same time see Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspurs go head to head. The Italian club is not having a good Serie A season and stands 15th on the league table with 4 matches played, 4 points in the bag, and two losses! Tottenham is seemingly better placed at 6th on the most competitive league in Europe and this match seems to be tilted towards it, unless of course an upset happens (which is not uncommon)!
In fact, the 12.30 AM fixtures of the UEFA Champions League also have a star match scheduled with EPL giant Liverpool and Ligue 1 mammoths PSG meet head to head. Both teams have been having an amazing season in their respective leagues, with Liverpool standing at second in EPL just behind Chelsea, and PSG leading charts in Ligue 1 of France!
With so much going on in the first group stage night, this UEFA Champions League is all set to fire up today itself and if you are a football fanatic, then you should not miss out on this at all!
