November 26, 2024

New Delhi, Nov 26

Matchday five of the UEFA Champions League will see heavyweight clashes as Bayern Munich will be hosting Paris Saint Germain and Real Madrid will be traveling to England to face UCL league leaders Liverpool.

FC Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint-Germain

Luis Enrqiue’s men will be desperate to win at the fabled Allianz Arena as the French champions currently sit at 25th place in the UEFA Champions League standings, with their only win coming on Matchday 1, a 1-0 victory against Girona, followed by two losses and a draw. Bayern turned things around with a 1-0 win against Benfica in their last outing after having lost against FC Barcelona and Aston Villa.

Sporting CP vs Arsenal

Former head coach Ruben Amorim led Sporting to an unbeaten start to the UEFA Champions League with three wins and a draw. Their latest outing saw them run through English champions Manchester City with a 4-1 victory. The Portuguese side will be hoping to continue in the same fashion under new head coach Joao Pereira against English runner-ups Arsenal.

Liverpool vs Real Madrid

Arne Slot’s great start to life at Liverpool has seen the side sit comfortably in first place in both UEFA Champions League and the Premier League. They are the only team to still boast a winning record with four wins in as many games and will be hoping to overcome Real Madrid, a side that has haunted them in the past.
