⚽ The UEFA Champions League is back on our screens, and with it all the usual excitement, as Matchday 4 of the league phase kicks off with nine matches today, and nine others tomorrow.
Slavia Prague is playing host to Arsenal at the Fortuna Arena tonight at 7:45pm. The Gunners are looking to keep up their perfect run and snag another three points to their existing nine. The home side’s scoreboard? Not as impressive, with only two points under their belt.
All eyes will be on the highly-anticipated clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid at Anfield at 10pm. The match marks the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Merseyside, yet this time as an opponent, not a home player. Alexander-Arnold accompanied a Real Madrid delegation to pay tribute to the late Liverpool player Diogo Jota yesterday. The Reds are currently in 10th place with six points, whereas Los Blancos are one of five teams to have achieved a perfect score of nine from a total of three matches.
Also at 10pm, PSG and Bayern Munich will be going head-to-head at the Parc des Princes. PSG are currently in the lead, with Bayern Munich one step behind as runners-up on goal difference. Thus far, both teams have maintained a perfect score.
