UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP STAGE: PREVIEW

Finally, those magical Champions League nights are back. Tonight’s matches feature current holders Bayern Munich, the most successful team Real Madrid, youth powerhowse Ajax and English champions Liverpool among others.

Bayern Munich VS Atletico Madrid

This would be a battle between all out attack and all out defense. Simeone will set his team up to defend for their lives. Bayern with their array of attacking talent will keep attacking relentlessly. Having added Luis Suarez to their team, Atletico’s attack looks much better now. He had scored in the 8-2 defeat at the hands of Bayern for Barcelona. The departure of Thomas Partey has wounded Atleti’s midfield. Bayern, on the other hand, lost Thiago, but they have covered up for him well and do not seem to have a weakness. Leroy Sane’s arrival has made their already world class attack better. Lewandowski is in the form of his life and with assistance from the likes of Gnabry and Mueller, Bayern are a threat going forward. But, if there is one team in Europe who can grind out results against the big names, it is Atletico.

Ajax VS Liverpool

Ajax take on Liverpool in Amsterdam tonight. Although the best players from Ajax have been poached on by other clubs, somehow Ajax still have a good enough squad. Onana in goal, Neres and Tadic on the wings and Tagliafico at left back are few of the players who have stayed at Ajax since their miraculous run into the Champions League semi finals. Liverpool on the other hand have a crisis of their own. Virgil Van Dijk’s injury against Everton means that he will be out for most of this season. Alisson’s injury has made Adrian Liverpool’s number one and he has a lot of mistakes in him. Joe Gomez isn’t really performing well. On the other hand, the frontline of Salah and Mane are fit and firing. It will be a good game given Liverpool will have to field a weakened team. Both teams have to play out of their skins to gain points from this fixture.

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: 2020-21

It's already been two months since that famous night in Lisbon where Bayern conquered their 2nd treble equalling the record of Barcelona in the process of highest number of trebles. Now, the group stages has some mouth watering fixtures, the most notable being PSG v/s Man U. After that embarrassing night in Paris where the French outfit lost to a young Man U team even after having a healthy lead in the first leg, PSG have come a long way and were only second to Bayern Munich last time around. PSG have a strong team and their only main concern would be their defence after their long serving captain played his last match in the UCL final. Their forward and midfield line do not have much change and will look forward to carry on the form that they displayed last time around. On the other hand United have plenty of problems from their defence to attack. Their uninspiring captain Maguire has led them down more than once with the attackers struggling ...

VAR: Boon or Bane?

Ever since its introduction, VAR has sparked controversies all around the globe. While it was believed before its introduction that it would reduce the human errors and provide the referees a second chance to rectify their mistakes, it now has left us pondering whether technology intervention was required in the first place. The good point is that no foul committed can possibly go unnoticed but the disadvantages are far more with the most disturbing being it stops the flow of the game every now and then and this doesn’t augur well for the beautiful game as the frequent stoppages are disturbing both for the players and the audiences. By this time, we already know there have been a record number of penalties awarded in this season’s Premier League and credit goes to VAR for awarding them without much hesitation. For the first time ever we saw a team score after the final whistle. Yes, you heard that right. Manchester United’ s game against Brighton was completed...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture. FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...
