Champions League Wednesday Preview

The open week of the Champions League season continues on Wednesday with favourites Manchester City in action.

City face a tricky looking open task as they travel to Ukraine to take on Shakhtar Donetsk in Group C.

Last season’s beaten finalists Tottenham open their campaign in Greece as they face Olympiakos.

There are also two stand-out fixtures on the evening with Paris Saint Germain hosting Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid taking on Juventus.

We run through every game including predictions from former England, Crystal Palace and Tottenham midfielder Andy Gray, our own Football Insider Graeme Bailey and BoyleSports’ Lawrence Lyons.
