A new version of the European Champions League, and this time, as usual, it will be fraught with excitement and fun in light of the participation of the Old Continent’s elite teams in the most followed competition around the world, and the highest in value in the club world.

Manchester City won the “Eared” title last season by defeating Inter Milan in the final with an unanswered goal, which is the third championship achieved by Pep Guardiola in the Champions League after two previous titles with Barcelona.

City, led by Erling Haaland, will try to maintain the historic title, but will find fierce competition from neighboring clubs in England, alongside the Spanish poles Real Madrid and Barcelona, the German giant Bayern Munich, and other major European continents.

It will be the beginning of the group stage, which is always full of club and excitement, and which is not without surprises, and nothing is more evident than the fact that Barcelona, with all its value and stars, has failed to overcome it in the last two seasons in favor of the Portuguese Benfica and then Inter.

The group stage matches are determined based on a draw followed far and wide in the world, and serve as an announcement of the return to life of European football.
