The UEFA Champions League 2023-24 season is scheduled to start on September 19, 2023 and will run till June 1, 2024. All UEFA Champions League (UCL) matches will be available on live streaming and telecast in India.
A total of 32 clubs from Europe's top football leagues, divided into eight groups, will battle for a place in the round of 16 over six matchdays. The UCL 2023-24 matches will be played in a home-and-away format and the top two teams from each group will progress to the knockouts.
Pep Guardiola’s in-form Manchester City, who beat Inter Milan in the UCL 2022-23 final for their first UEFA Champions League title, are drawn in Group G alongside RB Leipzig, Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys. UCL 2022-23 top-scorer Erling Haaland will be once again at the forefront of the MCFC attack.
There is a shred of good news. Normally, Paris Saint-Germain would be considered one of the toughest possible opponents in the entire Champions League, but this year, the perennial French juggernauts have had an unusually temperate start to the season, with a 2-2-1 record in Ligue 1 thus far. This poor start has only fanned the flames for PSG, one of the few teams with a more turbulent transfer window than Borussia Dortmund. In addition to Luis Enrique’s arrival and the constant will-he-or-won’t-he rumors about Kylian Mbappé’s potential departure, longtime PSG star Neymar has departed the club for Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Reinforcements arrived in the form of Randal Kolo Muani of Eintracht Frankfurt fame, and BVB alum Ousmane Dembélé, who has joined PSG from Barcelona. The latter has already received significant criticism from the French press for his poor form.
Unfortunately, BVB’s form is hardly better. Although Edin Terzic’s men did at least take three points from Freiburg on Saturday, the performance itself was hardly convincing, with a pair of late defensive breakdowns in the first half, and a late red card for Freiburg giving BVB the opportunity to snatch a slapstick winner. We have not yet seen a strong performance from BVB, but what better time is there than in the Champions League against PSG?
The 2023-24 UEFA Champions League kicks off on Tuesday, and by the end of Wednesday, all 32 teams will have gotten through their first matches of the tournament. This year we've got a mix of traditional powerhouses like Real Madrid, Barcelona. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich vying for the title that Manchester City are defending. Additionally, Manchester United make their return to the contest, Serie A powerhouses like AC Milan, Inter and Napoli aim to build on their strong performances, while Arsenal and Newcastle join the party from the Premier League.
