The Champions League starts back tomorrow and it will be adopting a new format.
The Champions League will be expanding from 32 to 36 teams from this season, with all teams contained in a single table.
That means there will have more rounds of fixtures than before with 17 in total, including eight rounds of group games - running from 17 September until 29 January - and then an extra round before the last 16.
The top eight will go through to the last 16, while teams from ninth to 24th go into a new play-off round.

'The Dragon', I saw that, but unable to "manage" elsewhere.
Real Madrid come from 2 down to lead Dortmund 4-2 with a couple of minutes left.
A cracking game this has been.

GET IN!! That Stuttgart goal just landed me a nice 8.43/1 acca
Had them to score ... missed a pen earlier but get a 92nd minute goal
Well done Mecca, nice when a late goal does the businesses for you.
5-2 in the end, Dortmund completely folded in the second half.
Great game.
Can totally see why so many players run down their contracts to join them.

At this stage it looks as though only Real Madrid stand in the way of an EPL team winning it
some big games tonight. hoping liverpool can win but look a tad short
4 teams are odds on PSV, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Dortmund
city away at sporting are 2.1 on here
city away at sporting are 2.1 on here
have to think sporting are in with a good chance tonight
Why is Real Madrid playing? I thought they may show some respect to the dead in the recent flood that ravaged Spain.
Sporting Lisbon v Man City
We will get to see how the new United manager fairs against the top premiership side

Sporting's keeper has kept them in it.
City should be 2 or 3 up by now.

TAA seems to have his mind elsewhere the last couple of games
I think we will see the lowest winning points total in the EPL this season for years. None of the top 3 or 4 playing particularly well imo.
Terrible decision to give that penalty.
Absolutely absurd.

Is that Paul Scoles on co-comms in the Sporting-City match?
He keeps referring to City as "we ... us.." etc

This is humiliating for Pep, 4-1.
Could be 1 CL title in 9 years, which is a failure.

Tbh the whole thing is a pile of dung.
Absolutely zero chance of any top team not making the playoffs which basically renders this whole league thing pointless.
Despite some big shocks so far just look at the table.
Only PSG outside the top 24.

been some very soft penalties this week. Always good to have 50p on your team's penalty taker to score 
and so the next round of fixtures starts tonight - to me its becoming overload and getting to the point of saturation- here we go again
arsenal at sporting and city at home to feyenoord

Atalanta 2.74 look big v a Real Madrid size who are struggling we shall see

celtic look short at Dinimo Zagreb at 1.84 - lay material ?
no sign of SLOT easing up in europe. full steam ahead !
celtic should never be odds on to win away in europe. lay them all night !
Surely Real will kick in soon, but Atalanta are a tough nut to crack. back the draw, trade out ht or later.

Since Amorim left Sporting have struggled badly
They were very good under him it's a shame

landed the celtic lay, and happy to have been able to trade out of my atalanta/madrid draw bet for no loss, despite madrid taking the lead.
Will Haaland score against Juve? @ 2.46
Will he get a shot on target? @ 1.23
Will he get a shot on target? @ 1.23
city are bit of a lottery at the mo .watched them at palace at the weekend and they were poor esp midfield haaland got no service but still scored
And Haaland takes the pens and is never subbed early
Juve will defend deep so De Bruyne & Gvardiol may take potshots
young boys winning
what a strange name for a football club

i feel like city will struggle at psg, might be a draw but they feel like they will concede once under pressure

City have been extremely vulnerable down their left
City need to win tonight.
This is UAE v Qatar so there is a massive amount of Arab face at stake. Massive. I
'd be amazed if the Ref hadn't been approached.
As it's UEFA rules, penalties for any ball/arm contact in the box and penalties whenever the Ref feels like it, my money is going to be on Haaland to have a shot on target and to score at least 1 goal.
PSG don't have a designated penalty taker. Before each game one of Hakimi, Marquinhos, Asensio, Barcola, Dembele, Doue, Vitinha or Muani gets told it's them.

Apologies to Celtic fans as I've put them in my multiples. Already 3 disallowed and an awful missed penalty. They couldn't could they ?

RM v City cd be a great game. City big at 5/2? got to win or they are out.
psv v juve - juve 2/1
dortmund to beat lisbon at 4/5 looks the safest bet?
