Trio (G/G) with odds of 4.80, Real Madrid's ace with combinations and the top-odds scorer picks...
Sit comfortably on your couch and now the good things begin. As every year, this year the ball is set up and the new Champions League begins. Since the previous season (2024-25), the groups have given way to the "League Phase", breathing new life into the top club competition.
The Champions League has changed and with it the other two European competitions, the Europa League and the Conferences League. This change gave new interest, both to the teams and to football fans around the world, as the football matches increased, the matches between the teams became more balanced in the 1st phase, with each point won or lost having more weight.
The first six games of the League Phase of the Champions League take place tonight. A match with favorites and underdogs. The match between Juventus and Dortmund dominates, as of course the match between Athletic Bilbao and Arsenal.
We will see these and many more in more detail below...
Below you will see in detail all the competitive action:
ATHLETIC BILBAO-ARSENAL (19:45)
Very interesting match between two very good and organized teams. It is true that Arsenal is a click more quality than Bilbao, but that does not mean that they will get the double tonight. The hosts are in a very good competitive and psychological condition, as we have seen so far in their games in the league. In fact, at home they have huge potential and can beat anyone. Arsenal starts the Champions League with a difficult away test and we will see how it will be presented.
The derby of the first night in this year's Champions League. Italian-German battle and we will see who will prevail. It is true that the "Lady" of Italian football seems to be a better team than Dortmund at the moment. But all this is in theory.
Real Madrid begins its journey at home in a match that is the big favorite to win. The French show in their league that they do not have the stability and quality to be at the top this year either. A serious and disciplined Real Madrid may enter the new Champions League on the right foot.
Facing two attacking teams that may offer a nice spectacle but also a goal in tonight's match between them. Both have started their course relatively well in their leagues but also want to have a distinction in the Champions League. At least to qualify for the next phase.
