Bayern Munich and Manchester United are set for a marquee clash as the group stage begins, pitting two giants against each other in a match that fans have anticipated all season. The Bavarians arrive with Harry Kane as their new central figure and a clear aim to lift the trophy, signaling that they remain one of the top contenders in a stacked Champions League field.
Manchester United, by contrast, return to the Champions League after a year away, carrying the weight of rebuilding years and a squad still finding its footing. Their campaign promises drama and development in equal measure, with fans hoping for concrete progress under the current leadership.
The English side under pressure amid setbacks
Manchester United has faced distractions off the pitch as well, with Antony facing disciplinary questions after accusations from his former partner, and Jadon Sancho dealing with a dispute that affected his relationship with head coach Erik ten Hag. On the pitch, the squad has battled injuries that stretch beyond a single position.
Ten Hag will be without a number of players who are sidelined, including Raphael Varane, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Mason Mount, and Luke Shaw, complicating selection decisions and tactical planning for the opening fixtures.
