Real-Milan or Liverpool-Bayer?🏆Today marks the start of Matchday 4 in the Champions League, and Tuesday brings us plenty of games filled with club and managerial storylines. Here’s a closer look at the key matchups:
🇪🇸
Real Madrid - AC Milan 🇮🇹
The headline event of the day takes place at the Santiago Bernabeu. Together, these two teams boast 22 Champions League titles, with Carlo Ancelotti having won Europe’s top prize with both clubs. Madrid will look to recover after their El Clasico defeat, while Milan, sitting at 25th in the standings and close to the relegation zone, will need to fight for points, even on this challenging away trip.
🏴 Liverpool - Bayer Leverkusen 🇩🇪
This game at Anfield is expected to deliver high-quality football. Xabi Alonso returns to the stadium where he spent a significant part of his successful career. Over the past year and a half, he’s built a formidable team in Leverkusen, and this match will be a real test for him and his squad, as well as for Liverpool. The Reds have had a strong start to the season, and they, along with Aston Villa, remain undefeated in the current Champions League campaign.
🇵🇹
Sporting CP - Manchester City 🏴In both halves of Manchester, all eyes will be on Lisbon tonight. The blue half is obviously interested in the outcome, while the red side will also be watching how future Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim handles one of his last games with Sporting before his move to England. It’s worth noting that City are dealing with significant injury issues—Stones, Dias, and Grealish have not been training, Savinho is also struggling, and Ortega will be in goal.
🇫🇷
Lille - Juventus 🇮🇹Lille, the current Champions League giant slayer, after victories over Real Madrid and Atletico, now aims to take points from Juventus. The "Bianconeri" have also claimed two wins, albeit against the slightly less intimidating PSV and RB Leipzig. Interestingly, this will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams.
🇮🇹
Bologna - Monaco 🇫🇷Bologna's debut Champions League campaign has not gone as hoped—they’ve yet to score a goal and have just one point, which they earned against Shakhtar. However, there’s a silver lining: Bologna remains unbeaten at home since March (2 wins and 8 draws). They’ll face Monaco, who started the season strong but have recently faltered, with losses to Nice and Angers.
