Three games from the coming second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage draw the most of our attention:
Paris Saint-Germain vs. Manchester City. Both PSG and Lionel Messi need a win against a truly strong opponent to prove that they made the right decision joining hands.
AC Milan vs. Atletico Madrid. AC Milan want their first Champions League win in eight years.
Juventus vs. Chelsea. A poor start in Serie A only motivates Juventus more to work harder in the Champions League.
