Champions League preview show - African Football HQ

Join the African Football HQ team as they preview the big clashes of gameweek one in the UCL

The Champions League group stage is back, and—perhaps more so than ever—Europe’s premier club competition will kick off with a series of blockbuster heavyweights.

Liverpool square off with AC Milan in a replay of their iconic 2005 Champions League final, while Bayern Munich and Barcelona collide, while Internazionale will go toe to toe with Real Madrid.

Any of these fixtures—in name alone—could be potential finals, although this time around, it represents the first step on the road to glory for these six European hopefuls.
