Tuesday night saw the start of the 2025–26 Champions League league phase—with Matchday 1’s action to be spread across three evenings instead of the traditional two.
Arsenal, Union Saint-Gilloise, Qarabağ, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur all emerged victorious on the first day as Juventus and Borussia Dortmund played out an eight-goal thriller to a draw. It’s now the turn of Liverpool, Atlético Madrid, Bayern Munich and Chelsea to get their competitions underway, with all four undoubtedly expecting to get through to the knockout stages next year.
Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain are also in action on Wednesday night, kicking off the defence of their crown with a difficult-looking home game with former Europa League winners Atalanta.
Here’s how predicts the games panning out.
