The UCLdraw is done. So which clubs will persevere through a unique and compressed opening stage? jonawils breaks down each group and makes his picks
Real Madrid’s success in last season’s Champions League was based on the individual excellence of Karim Benzema, Luka Modrić and Thibaut Courtois, coupled with an extraordinary self-belief. Changes have been limited, withand Aurélien Tchouaméni arriving, although Eduardo Camavinga is likely to be the short-term beneficiary of the Brazilian’s departure. Antonio Rüdiger stiffens the defensive line, but this remains an aging squad.
Shakhtar began the Ukrainian season on Wednesday this week, eight months after its last league fixture. That Last season followed the familiar pattern of European failure for Manchester City, as it conceded twice in the final minutes to throw away a semifinal it had largely dominated against Real Madrid. Theand the sales of Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling would seem to signal a switch away from the usual patient build-up to at least offer the possibility of a more direct approach.
Sevilla also looks relatively unthreatening. Defeat to Osasuna and then a draw at home to Valladolid was not the ideal start to the season in Spain, and that despite a summer in which the only player of real significance it lost was Diego Carlos. A repeat of last season’s vague title challenge seems unlikely, and it will take a major improvement for Julen Lopetegui’s side even to finish fourth again.
