The second set of matches to begin the Champions League certainly have some interesting match-ups.
UEFA Champion’s League Group Play kicks off today.
Manchester United start their return to Champion’s League play against PSV, a team who is undefeated so far in the Eredivisie, with five wins, two draws, and scoring fourteen goals. The game will also pit Memphis Depay against his former club for the first time. The Dutchman stated “I have respect for PSV but I will celebrate. Football is a game and scoring is special.”

Manchester City and Juventus will be a good match up. Although the Juventus midfield may not be as dangerous as last years given the exit of Vidal and Pirlo, Man City is also without last year’s leading scorer Sergio Aguero. City still has dangerous options going forward, with Sterling, de Bruyne, Bony, and Silva. Not to mention that Yaya Toure has looked formidable again so far this season.
