Here's what you need to know as Dinamo Zagreb and Chelsea open their Champions League campaigns.

Dinamo Zagreb vs. Chelsea, Champions League: You choose the starting lineup.

Thankfully, Chelsea’s injury situation at the moment is pretty good, though I’d assume that neither of the two new Deadline Day signings will get to play just yet. In the real world, they’ll have nothing to lose and everything to gain, especially in their home confines amid strong support. Dinamo are the Pot 4 team in our group, and thus the weakest of the four — at least in theory.

Chelsea travel to Croatia to face Dinamo Zagreb in the first match of the 2022/23 Champions League campaign.

We will accept the fight and the challenge and then we can also have the belief and trust we are able to win. "We are very aware what the challenge is to play in a first match away in a group stage.

That will surely have been music to the ear of Dinamo supporters who will provide a more intimidating cauldron of noise than St Mary's or Elland Road. Chelsea: A win over West Ham on Saturday might have sent the Blues up the Premier League table but it could have been another frustrating weekend for Thomas Tuchel if it were not for a VAR intervention that the Premier League has requested be investigated, so contentious was it.

Admittedly, his price is awkward and I’d much prefer it if he was a defender in the game but he is a good punt. They start against a Rangers side who are coming off the back of a 4-0 thumping and it’s at home to boot. With the sale of Antony to Manchester Utd, they’re both nailed on to start and are in terrific form. Julian Brandt (€7m) could be a dark horse option if he starts but Reus’ penalty-taking status gives him the edge. Following N’Golo Kante’s (€5.5m) hamstring injury, Chelsea’s penalty taker has all but cemented his starting spot and is likely to collect ball recoveries while he’s on the field.

Last season’s group stage brought seven goals and two assists against the likes of Manchester City and PSG, with fine form continuing thanks to six domestic goals so far. Jota has four goals and assists for Celtic in just six appearances. Vini notched two goals and three assists there, in case you were wondering. Don’t have all five of your midfielders starting on the same night, for example. This makes defensive midfielders just as good of an option as more attacking ones.

Plus, it opted to sell both its starting centre-halves this summer and was absolutely boat-raced over the weekend against Barcelona....at home (3-0 defeat, 9-1 in big scoring chances). For me, I actually rate City a positive regression candidate based on its Premier League fixtures — +14 goal differential, +21 big scoring chances differential. On the road, Juve owns a +0 goal differential on a -2 big chances differential. In last season’s Champions League, Salzburg was held goalless only once and generated 1.48 expected goals per 90 minutes in four group matches. Last season, it posted a +23 goal differential in La Liga on a +5 expected goal differential. Through five league matches, manager Max Allegri’s side has a +5 goal differential on a +1 big scoring chances differential.

PSG has had a solid start to the French league with five wins and a draw. It’s the first competitive meeting between PSG and Juventus in 25 years. Paris Saint-Germain’s Qatari owners are expecting a lot from their club in the run up to the World Cup hosted by the Gulf country. However, for the team’s first group game against Sevilla, he might start on the bench. Madrid has often been beaten early in the group stage since 2018 — against Sheriff, Shakhtar Donetsk, CSKA Moscow and Paris Saint-Germain. Dinamo beat Shkupi, Ludogorets Razgrad and Bodo/Glimt to reach the group stage.

Robert Lewandowski may raise Barcelona's ceiling but Busquets raises their floor. As Group C shapes up as a group of death featuring Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, ...

With five goals under his belt in all competitions, Nkunku will look to prey on Celtic and Shakhtar Donetsk's defenses to make it to the knockout stages. The heart and soul of the squad, Pepe's combativeness may go over the top at times, but it will also push Porto to punch above their weight in Champions League. With three goals and one assist in Bundesliga play this season, Kamada could be in the middle of a breakout season at an important time after the club lost significant depth this summer. After winning Europa League last season, Kamada and Frankfurt will have a tall task in Champions League but if Kamada can bring his European form from last season that saw him score five goals and assist one more, Frankfurt's chances of making it through the group stage would rise significantly. Flexibility is why Bayern Munich hasn't missed Robert Lewandowski so far this season and he'll even have the added bonus of getting to face off against the player that he replaced when Bayern meets Barcelona during the group stage. While Ajax were chasing him on deadline day, Vlachodimos is still with Benfica and will need to put in a similar performance if they're going to make it to the knockout stages again. If things get wild enough during the group stage, don't count Dinamo out as a dark horse side to make the knockouts. As Group C shapes up as a group of death featuring Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, and Viktoria Plzen, there will be fine margins between a team making it to the knockout stages or heading to Europa League. I say only as that return for would be great for most players, but when Salah scored 23 and assisted 13 more goals last season, he's in a different stratosphere. The departures of club legends Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne mean the team is now built around him. James can lock up a team's best winger -- which will be important facing players like AC Milan's Rafael Leao -- while also linking up with Raheem Sterling to pace the attack. Out of everyone on Chelsea's roster, James is the one player whose absence for any reason could see them crash out of the group stage.

The King returns with a home fixture to Viktoria Plzen. The doubling in price from last year says it all regarding this young man’s ability in front of goal. Man City’s first fixture is away to a team who have lost their two best defenders this summer and have since been leaking goals. Real Madrid are top of La Liga and play their first game against bottom seeds Celtic.

Huge transfer fees have ensured the continent's elite competition remains a closed shop which only a handful of teams are capable of winning.

If their ambition is to not just qualify for the Champions League but be competitive in Europe’s elite competition it is going to be an extremely expensive proposition. Newcastle United are likely to inflate the market further with the financial backing they have. It will be “rooted in the same inequality”, and feels like “a parade of the inevitable”. The price was €70m, and United play in the Europa League. “The Champions League has, over the years, lost all of that uncertainty,” writes the New York Times. Then there are the political profits for the owners, who use sport to cultivate their image and contacts. City were happy to offload the 27-year-old for €55m. Two international stars, James Rodríguez and Philippe Coutinho, were unable to find a place in the starting XI while Lucas Hernández needed two years to get going. He has reached the Champions League final three times with Liverpool, and the 30-year-old can now round off his career with a few national titles in Germany. It guarantees that the biggest clubs with the most spending power remain at the top table. He is 34 and does not represent the continuation of tiki-taka. But he has been top scorer in the Bundesliga seven times.

Of that figure, £1.753bn (€2.032bn) will be distributed to clubs competing in the Champions League and the Super Cup - which was won by Real Madrid, who beat ...

Teams will also receive a share of UEFA’s market pool - a £258.7m (€300.3m) pot of broadcasting money. A Champions League group stage victory is worth £2.4m (€2.8m), while a draw will see a club rake in £802,000 (€930,000). The coefficient shares are dished out on the basis of performances over a ten-year period, including bonus points for winning the Champions League, the Europa League and the Cup Winners’ Cup. Semi-finalists then make £10.7m (€12.5m). A Champions League run can be incredibly lucrative. Simply reaching the round earns clubs a starting fee of £13.48million (€15.64m). Therefore, a team in the Champions League group stages who wins just once and draws another game, while suffering three defeats, will earn a figure of around £16.68m as a base figure due to their starting fee, their win and their draw. UEFA makes £2.357bn (€2.732bn) available for distribution for clubs in all three competitions. A total of £431.4m - 25 per-cent - is split evenly across clubs as a starting fee. Then, £258.7m is allocated to variable amounts (market pool), which is effectively the broadcasting money. Participating teams will play all five group matches in just eight weeks, with FIFA demanding that World Cup players be released to their national teams by November 12. The gross revenue from the 2022/23 Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League and the 2022 Super Cup is estimated to be £3.019billion (€3.5bn).

Can they take that form into Europe and go one better than their 2018/19 run to the Champions League final? Haiti striker Frantzdy Pierrot scored five goals during that qualifying campaign and will play an important role if the Israeli club are to progress or at least finish in a Europa League spot. This season, The Eagles will be more reliant on Goncalo Ramos, Joao Mario and Rafa Silva. Juve are having a tricky start to the season in Serie A. Benfica reached the quarter finals of the competition last season before getting knocked out by Liverpool. Despite not winning their first group game in 10 previous attempts, Celtic will feel that their form and the roar of the home crowd will give them a chance. After an indifferent start to the Premier League season, Thomas Tuchel and his team will be looking to kick off their Champions League campaign in style. Celtic return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2017/18 season under Brendan Rodgers, when they were eliminated from the group stage. The two sides have only met in Europe’s elite competition once before, in the 1979/80 quarter final – and what a tie it was. However, last season Dortmund were knocked out at the group stage. That confidence has been boosted by a good run on the domestic front. The big Norwegian striker has taken the Premier League by storm, scoring 10 goals in six games, including back-to-back hattricks.

[Champions League](https://www.sbnation.com/champions-league) often gets accused of featuring up the same old teams and the same old matchups, but for Chelsea, this is a brand new day as we take on a team we’ve never played before. After the dramatic ending on Saturday, we could certainly use a steady, solid, straightforward win, especially away from home where we’ve struggled quite badly so far this season. So here’s 10 minutes of open training from last night. Thiago Silva was spared the wear and tear of travel; he’s the only absentee other than N’Golo Kanté’s hamstrings. Familiar names in the squad may include summer arrival Josip Drmić, a striker who failed to catch on at Norwich City after making a name for himself in the Bundesliga and the 2014 World Cup with Switzerland, and right back Kévin Théophile-Catherine, who had one good season in the Premier League with Cardiff City nearly ten years ago.

After signing a new deal with Leipzig until 2027, Gvardiol, who is expected to play for Croatia in the World Cup this winter, looks destined to be another star to progress from the Red Bull stable of clubs. Evanilson has made a bright start to the present campaign, scoring twice and his form will be key for Porto, who have a favourable group after being seeded in pot one for the draw. Victor Osimhen is ready to be the main main after a summer of change for Napoli The Brazilian forward smashed in 21 goals last season and was linked with a £55m move to Manchester United not so long ago. Chelsea made a move for Leao this summer and with a reported £127m release clause, the forward will be expected to cause a whole host of problems for opposition defences in this year's Champions League. With Paul Pogba in a race to be fit for the World Cup, Miretti is likely to continue to step up in the Frenchman's absence. Now 23, the prolific Nigerian forward is ready to be the main main after a summer of change for Napoli which has seen long-serving forwards Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne depart.

The three-headed attacking monster at PSG host Italian title hopefuls Juventus at Parc des Princes in one of the marquee matchups across the entire early ...

There's not enough consistency from Juventus to present PSG a challenge at this stage in the season. Verratti and Hakimi are involved, with the latter playing a one-two with Mbappe as the Frenchman enters the penalty area. He shows both Bremer and Ramos a yellow card to up the stakes on the rest of the match. The official has lots of work to do to put a lid on things. A deflection in the Juventus penalty area falls to Neymar at the top of the six-yard box, and the Brazilian unleashes a blistering volley. Dusan Vlahovic whips a header in at a great angle, but Donnarumma is there diving down to his right to get a hand on the shot. The Frenchman produces a rare whiff in front of net. 36th min: Neymar somehow gets free through the Juventus back line off a brilliant bit of skill and a fortuitous deflection, and he goes down under contact from Juan Cuadrado as the ball rolls to Perin. The new summer arrival whiffs as he tries to clear a cross, and that allows Kostic to feed Locatelli arriving in the six-yard box. 65th min: Marco Verratti, who's had an absolutely incredible match, earns a yellow card for a push in the back of Rabiot. This influence is a very positive sign for McKennie as he looks to win minutes in a crowded Juventus midfield, even in the absence of Paul Pogba. Both had chances after the break, but neither produced the same cutting edge they showed in the first half and throughout the start of the season.

That leaves a risky lacuna in the Parisians’ lineup – with very little in the way of cover if one of their ageing defenders gets injured. For all the money fire-hosed at PSG – for all the talk that this season it would finally bear fruit – they crumbled in the face of a historic club with decades-long pedigree, as Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema scored a second leg hat trick to tear down PSG’s lead and send them crashing out of the tournament. It was a 6-1 beating that seemed to expose the Parisians as amateurish parvenus with no place at football’s top table. It looked like PSG had joined the ranks of the giants. The [Champions League](https://www.france24.com/en/tag/champions-league/) is the theatre of PSG’s most passionate hopes for glory, and over recent years the tournament’s knockout rounds have provided stages for the tragic denouement of those hopes. So will the Parisians finally shake off their reputations as also-rans in club football’s top tournament?

Conte has won just 12 of his 54 games in the Champions League and just one two-legged knockout matchup. He injured his leg in a Spanish league match last weekend and is doubtful to start at the Metropolitano. Bayern has won all three of its previous matches against Inter at the San Siro, although Inter has never lost in Munich. Following a third-place finish in the Bundesliga last season, Leverkusen's fortunes have taken a turn for the worse with just three points out of 15. The 23-year-old striker joined the Belgian league this season from Barcelona and has compiled five goals and three assists in seven matches so far. However, the status of Napoli forward Victor Osimhen is in question due to a strained left thigh muscle.

The club gradually became something of a parody, a status exacerbated by the petulance of its stars and club hierarchy. It’s a sign that he wants to prioritize the collective over the individual stars. What transpired was another painful and predictable exit in the Champions League, notably at the hands of Real Madrid, a club PSG is so desperate to emulate. This is no longer the Juventus that is associated with upstaging other major clubs through grit, determination and class. It’s telling that PSG is the overwhelming favorite to win tonight. That shift in the balance of power is also reflected on the pitch.

Follow the latest from the Champions League as Dinamo Zagreb host Chelsea in Group E.

75 mins to KO: Chelsea have been drawn in a group alongside AC Milan and Red Bull Salzburg, and Dinamo Zagreb of course. 30 mins to KO: Chelsea made a number of big signings over the summer. Orsic was released in behind the Chelsea defence, Fofana didn't have the pace to get back and make the tackle and the youngster prods the finish past Kepa and over the line! Dinamo Zagreb have taken the lead against the run of play! Sterling played the ball in behind for Havertz who had the pace advantage on his opponent. Orsic deserves a lot of credit for taking the opportunity. The away team have the ball in the back of the net, but it's been chalked off for offside. The ball was played to Ademi 20 yards out and he unleashed a ferocious strike with a lot of power! 19 mins: A period of sustained pressure from Chelsea as they search for an equaliser. Chelsea have started the second half at a higher tempo and Havertz does brilliantly to beat his man down the right side and whip a dangerous ball into the box. 38 mins: Nothing is working for Chelsea at the moment. They are giving away possession cheaply in the middle of the pitch - this time it's Kovacic who concedes the ball.

Final confirmation of the squad is still to come though, as there are only seven homegrown players involved currently. There are very few surprises in this initial squad for the Champions League, with all the first team players involved. The North London club host French side Marseille on Wednesday in what will be a tough fixture.

GENEVA — In this unusual season for European soccer, the World Cup in Qatar has split the Champions League into a sprint and a marathon.

Even in a normal season, when the Champions League round-of-16 pairings would be made in mid-December, club executives at the draw at UEFA headquarters would refuse to crow about being paired with an opponent then under-achieving domestically. The first trading period after a World Cup often is fueled by demand for less-heralded players who stood out on the global stage. For teams off to a poor start in domestic leagues, the Champions League offers no respite with two games by Sept. 14, the Champions League resumes with a knockout phase lasting almost four months. The schedule offers little time to put things right but plenty of time to reflect later during a midseason pause for the competition that will last more than three months.

The UEFA Champions League group stage gets under way on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Here is a preview ahead of the 16 ties that will take place this week.

Leverkusen is in the Champions League for the 13th time, while the Belgian champions enjoy a 10th showing. With Ajax and Rangers being the other two clubs in this section, a win here will go a long way. The only meeting between the sides produced a 1-1 stalemate back in the 2006-07 UEFA Cup, the Europa League’s predecessor. With Antonio Conte’s underwhelming Champions League track record, the French club has more than enough reason to play a part in the spoils. [Los Blancos will get their Champions League title defense going](https://playingfor90.com/2022/05/27/champions-league-final-liverpool-madrid/) in one of the six 21:00 matches as they face 1966-67 champions Celtic away. The Cityzens defeated the Rojiblancos in both of their 2015-16 group stage matches in this competition. The Czech winners got past HJK Helsinki, Sheriff Tiraspol and Qarabag to enjoy a fourth appearance in this competition’s main round. The Nerazzurri also knocked out Die Roten the following season in the Round of 16 on away goals. As for Real, this is their 26th straight season in this competition and 27th overall, the latter stat matching rivals Barcelona. The match on Tuesday night that will likely overshadow Real’s showdown will take place in the French capital between Paris St. Danish champions København took out Trabzonspor in the playoff round in late August and will face Borussia Dortmund to start off the competition. [with the draw for the group stage recently taking place](https://playingfor90.com/2022/08/25/champions-league-barcelona-tough-group/).

Action Network soccer handicapper BJ Cunningham breaks down all eight groups ahead of this week's Champions League opening matches.

In Serie A last season, the club only had a +0.35 xGDiff per 90 minutes, which was 26th in Europe’s top five leagues. Benfica literally advanced from a group with Bayern Munich and Barcelona last season, then beat Ajax in the Round of 16 matchups. Copenhagen only had a +0.36 xGDiff per 90 minutes in the Danish Superliga, with Denmark being the 18th-most difficult league by UEFA Coefficients. The Cityzens had the best xGDiff across Europe last season in the most difficult league in the world at +1.63 per 90 minutes. Sevilla is going to be a team I will be fading throughout the Champions League. It has been a Champions League mainstay out of Ukraine for a long time now, but because of the war, its domestic league had to be cancelled last season.

Celtic, winners of the European Cup in 1967, will be under immense pressure to get out of this draw, with them ranked as the lowest team in Group F. On the flip side, Tottenham’s Group D has the lowest average power ranking across the four teams of 89.3.

To add insult to injury, Viktoria Plzeň aren’t even the ‘weakest’ team in the draw overall.
