Speaking ahead of the draw about the success of the competition last season, UEFA's Head of Women's Football, Nadine Kessler said "we changed perceptions because people said 'there are no fans in women's football'. UEFA will be hoping to capitalize on this opportunity to build on the success of last season's group stage. Indeed, KFF Vllaznia will make history as the first Albanian team to ever play in the group stage of a men's or women's Champions League in perhaps the toughest group alongside Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. The sixteen teams competing in the group stage will once more be guaranteed a minimum income of €400,000 ($391,164) for playing in their six matches with extra payments for each additional win or draw achieved. Spanish champions, FC Barcelona will play twice against German side FC Bayern Munich and English champions Chelsea FC, who went out in the group stage last season will have to finish ahead of either Paris Saint-Germain or Real Madrid to reach the last eight this time.

Club Brugge surprisingly tops group B with a perfect 6 for 6. Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid are on 3 points, while FC Porto is in the basement on zero.

The Israelis will be up against it, but given the weaknesses shown by the Bianconeri this season, a result (or two) may not be out of the question for Barak Bakhar’s men. [Champions League holders Real Madrid](https://playingfor90.com/2022/05/28/real-madrid-claim-14th-european-title/) have two wins in the bank in Group F. Should FC København earn anything over their two upcoming games with Manchester City, they will have caused quite the shock. The Rossoneri is in a promising position, while the contrast could not be greater for the Blues. So when the two do battle against each other, the Germans should have more confidence. Borussia Dortmund is on 3 points from two games, while Sevilla and FC København have a point each. Austrian champions Salzburg face off against Dinamo Zagreb in a battle of two teams who always win their league. Salzburg have a point more than the Blues, while Milan are on 4 points and Dinamo Zagreb with 3 are the top two as things stand. Meanwhile, the two games between Barça and Inter will likely determine who join Bayern in the next round. Spurs will have Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt over the next two weeks. Sporting CP is on track for a second consecutive appearance in the Champions League knockouts. They will be expected to get a full 6 points against

For us the intensity level is higher, and we need to have 11 players on the pitch who are absolutely at the top of their game in order to compete." It appears to be the destination of choice. On the flip side, it also serves as good preparation as English teams attempt to rise to the standards set by the likes of Lyon, Barca and co. When they made it to the 2021 final - the same year their male counterparts hoisted the UEFA Champions League trophy in Portugal - their campaign was hit with irregularities due to the Covid-19 pandemic. There has been a huge influx of European players to the WSL this summer. The WSL can only brag one European title to date - Arsenal in 2007 - but England's top tier has been making moves. There's a reason for that, we haven't been near the top teams and our job is to close the gap. They lost out to Lyon at the semi-final stage in 2019, but only came up marginally short. Daly has incidentally made quite the splash since being lured back to the English game from America this season, scoring three goals for Aston Villa in back-to-back wins. Change is in the air. There are, however, growing signs that the competition gap is narrowing. Even a heavily-tipped Barcelona side boasting a myriad of highly-decorated stars - some of Europe's most notable talent - failed to make an imprint on Lyon's well-established domain.

Everything you need to know ahead of Tuesday's Champions League game at Anfield between Liverpool and Rangers, plus where, when and how to watch.

We’ll be building up to the game from about an hour before kick-off before taking you through the action as it unfolds. Rangers are beginning to show signs of progress depsite suffering defeats to Napoli and Ajax in the Champions League, the Scots have two consecutive wins against Dundee United and Hearts 4-0. Although the English club is used to being considered the favorite, if the past has taught us anything, it is that these All-Britain European games can be significant levelers, so make sure to tune into Tuesday night’s Champions League clash at Anfield, where the action will kick off at 3 p.m. 4, 2022 for viewers in the United States, or 8 p.m (BST) in the UK. Liverpool and Rangers will meet during the third match day of this year’s UEFA Champions League. [elsewhere in the world](https://www.livesoccertv.com/match/4447569/liverpool-vs-rangers/).

The 'show us your medals' brigade would have a hard time criticising these superstars, although none have claimed Europe's biggest prize.

PSV, Inter, Barcelona, Madrid and Milan are among the forward's former teams, but the man who was named the best player in the world in 1997 and 2002 was never able to scoop European club football's top prize. He even moved to PSG in a bid to win the trophy – but returned home a year later. He was also part of the Arsenal side that reached the last eight in 2003/04, when Chelsea ran out 3-2 winners on aggregate in a London derby. Yet the continent’s biggest prize proved elusive for a player who frequently sat out Champions League away games due to his fear of flying. Thuram was also a member of the Parma team that lifted the UEFA Cup in 1999, while he later joined Barcelona just after they won the Champions League in 2006. He scored twice in four games in 1993/94 but then failed to find the net the following campaign, before striking three times in 10 matches as United reached the semi-finals in 1996/97, his final season as a player. He's therefore another nearly man: he left Inter a year before they won it in 2010, before doing exactly the same thing at Barcelona the following summer. The goalkeeper was on the wrong end of three final defeats with the Turin-based giants, making two penalty shoot-out saves in 2003 and then watching Barcelona run out 3-1 winners in 2015 and Real Madrid triumph two years later. The Giallorossi also reached the last eight the following year, but Totti never made it beyond that stage in the Champions League. The Frenchman had only just turned 33 when United beat Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou – and it's curious to wonder whether the Red Devils would still have triumphed in Europe with Cantona in their squad. It used to be the World Cup that was the marker of how good a football really was. But the Argentine remained loyal to La Viola despite the fact they only participated in Europe’s foremost competition once during his time at the club.

There are many different ways for clubs to earn money in the UEFA Champions League, with financial rewards in every single game.

These goals earned the two clubs €1.87m ($1.85m) each. Group stage wins are worth €2.8m ($2.77m) each, while clubs pick up €930,000 ($918,394) for a draw. This season, two late winning goals have been scored in the competition – Antoine Griezmann’s dramatic 101st-minute strike for Atlético Madrid to defeat Porto and an 89th-minute header from Josep Matip for Liverpool against Ajax. - UEFA’s market pool, essentially broadcasting money, totals €300.3m ($296.55m) and is also split amongst the participants. - Coefficient shares are awarded to each of the 32 clubs, with a total of €600.6m ($593.1m) divided up according to each club’s performance in European competitions over the previous 10 years. - Final - €15.5m ($15.31m)

German giants demolish record in scary Champions League statement: CL Wrap.

For the opponent it’s difficult to turn the game around or create chances. It’s been a slow start to the season for me but I’m looking forward to the rest of the season. He then received a red card for an incomprehensible hand outside his area (23rd). People say things, but for me it’s about going out there and performing for the team. We were slow out of the blocks. Mignolet beat away Joao Felix and Angel Correa efforts in the final stages to secure a noteworthy victory for his team, and leave the 2014 and 2016 runners-up with a lot of work to do. They had to survive a series of scares in the second half, with Ousmane Dembele hitting the post and Pedri having a goal ruled out for handball in the 68th minute following a VAR check as a tired Inter sank back into their own area late on. The Reds are well on course to reach the last 16 of the Champions League for a sixth consecutive season with four points from their next two games away at Rangers and Ajax enough to seal qualification with a game to spare. Hakan Calhanoglu fired Inter Milan to a 1-0 win over Barcelona on Tuesday which ended the Italians’ recent troubles and boosted their hopes of making the knockout stages of the Champions League. It’s the only thing that matters. On Saturday it was disappointing, our press wasn’t there. All that was missing for Klopp was a first Anfield goal for Darwin Nunez as the Uruguayan missed a series of glorious chances on his return to the starting line-up.

Liverpool vs Rangers LIVE: Follow the live blog of UEFA Champions League match between Liverpool and Rangers at the Anfield stadium.

Nunez collects it and tries to finish but McGregor punches it wide. Building up the momentum, Van Dijk to Henderson who passes it long to Salah. Henderson literally controlling the midfield, passes it right to Salah who makes a run in the right flank, give it to Nunez and on to Dias but nothing happens. Salah runs deep into the right flank, dribbling past the Rangers midfield to get into the 18yard box. Jordan Henderson with a beautiful long ball to Nunez who then passes it to Dias. Rangers has lost 25 of its last 28 Champions league matches.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's spectacular free-kick and a second-half penalty from Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool a comfortable 2-0 win over Rangers.

McGregor produced an excellent save to tip away a Jota shot that was destined for the top corner and Joël Matip headed a good chance wide from a Tsimikas corner. Salah was close to doubling Liverpool’s lead after being released down the right by a lovely first-time flick from Núñez. Alexander-Arnold’s intentions were clear as he lined up the set piece but McGregor, arguably leaving too much room to his right, was powerless to prevent a brilliant free-kick curling just inside the top corner. The Liverpool right-back was denied a release from recent criticism when the Brighton goalkeeper, Robert Sánchez, saved his late free-kick from a similar position on Saturday. Moments later Núñez was fouled outside the area by the former Liverpool defender Ben Davies, who never played for the club prior to his £4m move north of the border this summer. Limiting the defeat to two was Rangers’ finest achievement on a night when they were indebted to the enduring excellence of goalkeeper Allan McGregor.

“The numbers speak for themselves,” Guardiola saud. “Haaland is obviously one of the best strikers in the world at the moment – if not the best – and we will do what we can to limit his possibilities,” said Neestrup. Fresh from his latest hat-trick in the weekend’s 6-3 derby defeat of Manchester United, Haaland is expected to be on the pitch against on Thursday morning AEDT as he seeks to add to the 17 goals already scored for City in 11 appearances.

Chances were at a premium in Germany as Tottenham drew 0-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.

But the final ball and the finish kept letting them down, and so the overall effect was not a feast of attacking football, but of a slightly laboured team beginning to second-guess themselves. Meanwhile the jury remains resolutely out on Emerson Royal, a man at the centre of a rumbling debate among Spurs fans, who wonder aloud whether his defensive qualities excuse his total absence of attacking threat. Djibril Sow was perhaps the best player on the pitch, the only man in a chaotic midfield who seemed to have a proper grasp of the game. But they have speed and style and perhaps the loudest fans in Germany, and here they had plenty to be proud of too. Fail to finish your chances, make elementary errors, and it really doesn’t matter what you scribbled on the whiteboard in advance. The fundamentals were sound, the defence just about held tight and this was at least a major improvement on

Atlético had a chance to get back into the match with a penalty 15 minutes later but Antoine Griezmann lashed the ball against the bar and moments later the forward thought he had scored but his effort was ruled out for offside. Elsewhere, goals from Club Brugge forwards Kamal Sowah and Ferran Jutglà saw the Belgian champions beat Atlético Madrid 2-0 at home to extend their perfect run in Group B this season. Internazionale bounced back after two consecutive losses in Serie A with a crucial 1-0 win against Barcelona thanks to a Hakan Calhanoglu goal.

Bayern Munich started Champions League Matchday 3 off with a bang as they leaned on a Leroy Sane brace to a 5-0 win over Viktoria Plzen.

That should pave the way for Pedri to be a crucial player given his role in the middle of the park and also because of the way Barcelona are expected to play. Inter Milan are expected to sit back on the defensive side of the pitch and rely more on counterattacks. Milan Skriniar is called to leave his mark after a negative start to the season as he faces one of the best strikers of the world. The former Bayern Munich player already scored three goals against Viktoria Plzen in the opening game of the group stage, but then failed to put his name in the scoresheet against his former club at the Allianz Arena. They're giving Rangers trouble to open the match and it likely won't be long before the Reds score a goal. After Porto thought they scored their goal was called back for a handball in the build up giving Leverkusen a penalty kick. Napoli have scored five goals in an away Champions League match for the first time ever but this game is now 5-1 to Napoli. After hitting his penalty kick off the crossbar Griezmann had a chance to score again but was judged to be offsides. The Frenchman had the biggest chance of the match from the penalty spot. Still without Dejan Kulusevski, Conte will need to find a way to improve his team's attacking fortunes quickly before one of their opponents takes control of the group. With six points in their first two matches, Sporting CP had an excellent chance to take control of the group with a win. Despite arriving late to the stadium and causing a delay, Sporting got off to a quick start with goal before the joy ultimately faded away.

Goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah were enough to beat the Scottish giants.

For Barcelona, suddenly, there is pressure. Tuesday's 1–0 defeat at Inter Milan means that at the halfway stage of the Champions League group stage it sits ...

The failure to score at Bayern could perhaps be written off as slightly freakish: Barça was the better side for much of the game, but failed to score and was undone by a quick-fire double just after halftime. Barcelona had a lot of possession and passed the ball around in that familiar mesmerizing style, but it lacked incisiveness. From a Barcelona point of view, there must also be fears that a familiar problem is resurfacing. It was a fine finish, but Barça will wonder how he was given so much space just outside the box when there were defensive players in the area. Having sold so many assets, having effectively mortgaged so much of the future of the club on the expectation of instant success—beyond La Liga, where it sits in first through seven games—that would be a severe blow. Tuesday’s 1–0 defeat at Inter Milan means that at the halfway stage of the Champions League group stage it sits third in the group, three points behind Inter and six behind Bayern Munich.
