TUESDAY UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FIXTURES PREVIEW
Today will commence the first round of 16 group games of the 2021/2022 champions league.
2020 champions league Finalists PSG would take on 13 times winners Real Madrid at the Parc Des Princes.
The two sides have met six times in the competition PSG winning only one game, Madrid winning 3 and 2 draws between them.
Madrid are in top form this season as they have won all their three away games in the group stages.
However Madrid might be without their lethal striker Benzema who has just returned from injury.
PSG are also in top form this season as they currently league leaders in the French Ligue one but are yet to prove same in the champions league.
They have recorded two draws and a loss to Man City in this season’s champions league, hence should up their game if they are eager to progress greatly in the champions league.
Portugal’s sporting Lisbon would also welcome Cityzens to the Estadio Jose Alvalade.
The two sides have only met once in an European competition which was the 2011/2012 europa league, which the Portuguese side knocking out the Cityzens in a 3-3 aggregate.
Lisbon are participating in the Round of 16 for the second time since their painful defeat in the 2008/2009 champions league to Bayern Munich.
The Cityzens does not also have a record against Portuguese sides, winning just one out of six games played drawing 2 and loosing 3.
Both sides therefore would have a point to prove today.
Pep guardiola’s side are currently in top form and seem favourites in winning tonight’s game. Sporting Lisbon however won’t accept defeat easily without a struggle.
City also have a record to break if they succeed in winning against Lisbon would be the first team in the UEFA champions league to win 5 consecutive away games.
Let’s see how today games would turn out. May the best sides emerge victorious.
