PSG vs REAL
PSG face Real Madrid in crunch Group A clash

PSG have work to do against Real Madrid. The French giants will be without Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani (injuries), besides Neymar (suspension). Real are also without several star players and things get quite interesting here. The presence of Eden Hazard will lift Real to produce those sparkling moments in this key Group A clash. PSG will want to see Mauro Icardi shine.

Shakhtar vs City
Guardiola's City will hope to stop Shakhtar resurgence

Group C sees Shakhtar Donetsk host Premier League champions Manchester City. It will be a tough battle for City, who have just one available centre-back in the form of Nicolas Otamendi. Fernandinho will fill in as the make-shift defender. Shakhtar will be a stern opponent with their counter-attacking prowess. "They are incredible on the counter-attack and playing short," said City boss Pep Guardiola.

Atletico vs Juve
Atletico face stern Juventus test at home

Atletico Madrid will be wary of Cristiano Ronaldo & Co. at home in a crunch Group D encounter. Last season, Juventus knocked out Atletico from the round of 16 and this is something the hosts will be wary of. One expects an all-round game across the pitch with many chances on offer. This will be an evenly fought contest between two strong outfits.
