In Group A, Manchester United will face Bayern Munich in a match that promises to be electric. The Red Devils are not in the best form at the moment, while Bayern have managed to strengthen themselves with the arrival of Harry Kane. However, the team’s defensive issues could put them in trouble. It is interesting to note that these two teams have already faced each other in the group stage in 1998/1999, with a legendary final won by Manchester United. The Munich fans are hoping to get their revenge, which will make the match even more intense.
In Group B, Arsenal will face PSV in a match that could hold some surprises. The Gunners are looking to recapture their past glory, while PSV have shown they can cause problems for teams at the top of the table. The two teams have already met in the Europa League last season, with PSV winning at home. Arsenal will definitely want to get their revenge this time around.
Group C will see Real Madrid face newcomers Union Berlin. The Madrilenians are in great shape with players such as Bellingham putting in a string of exceptional performances. Union Berlin, for its part, will not be content with a solid defense but will also seek to surprise on the counterattack. It will be an interesting match to follow and Union Berlin could well spring a surprise.
Finally, in Group D, Inter Milan will face Real Sociedad. Inter, unfortunate finalists in the last edition of the Champions League, hope to continue their momentum.
