Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League brings Europe’s elite clubs into action, with Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Inter Milan all aiming to strengthen their positions in the competition.
On Tuesday, October 1, nine thrilling fixtures are set to take place across Europe. The marquee match sees Arsenal take on Paris Saint-Germain at the Emirates Stadium in London. Both clubs are considered ‘dark horses’ for the Champions League title this season, and this encounter will serve as a key test of their ambitions.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who once played for PSG on loan from Barcelona in the early 2000s, reflected on his personal connection to the French club. “This is a club [PSG] I have a connection to,” Arteta noted. “It will be a tough match; we know the quality that PSG have.”
In other exciting fixtures on Tuesday, Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen will face off against Italian heavyweights AC Milan in a potential thriller, while Barcelona will host Swiss side Young Boys at the Camp Nou. Inter Milan will welcome Red Star Belgrade to the San Siro, Manchester City will travel to Slovakia for a showdown with Slovan Bratislava, and Borussia Dortmund will meet Celtic at the Westfalenstadion in a contest between two clubs known for their passionate fanbases.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers acknowledged the challenge his team faces in Germany, stating, “We’re playing against a Champions League finalist,” as he called on his side to deliver a strong performance against Dortmund.
The action continues on Wednesday, October 2, with Aston Villa hosting Bayern Munich in their first home Champions League match. This highly anticipated clash is a repeat of the 1982 European Cup final, where Aston Villa famously triumphed 1-0 to claim the trophy.
“When the matches against Bayern Munich, Juventus, Bologna and Celtic come, of course we will be excited and those matches will be special moments for the supporters,” said Villa manager Unai Emery.
Wednesday will also feature Benfica hosting Atletico Madrid for an Iberian derby; Real Madrid will face Lille LOSC in France; Liverpool welcome upstart Italian side Bologna to Anfield; and Juventus will face a challenging trip away to RB Leipzig in Germany.
