All the English sides look a good bet to progress while Bayern Munich will provide a test of Barcelona’s return to the elite
Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema was named Uefa Men's Player of the Year after the Champions League group-stage draw.The obvious headline is the meeting of Erling Haaland and Borussia Dortmund, the club he left for. It’s to win the Champions League that he has largely been signed, as City look to find a greater ruthlessness in front of goal in the toughest games. Those are not likely to arrive in the group stage though.
Dortmund, who have replaced Haaland with Sébastien Haller and Anthony Modeste, remain inconsistent under Jürgen Klopp’s former assistant Edin Terzić. Sevilla mounted a vague title challenge for a time in Spain last season but defeat to Osasuna and then a draw at home to Real Valladolid suggests a repeat is unlikely despite a summer in which the only player of real significance they lost was the centre-back Diego Carlos. Copenhagen are back in the group stage after a six-year hiatus.
