The 2022/23 UEFA Champions League season is finally back!
This new Champions League campaign will officially kick-start on Tuesday night with various clubs fighting for the Europe top-flight league trophy, Charmingpro reportsÂ
The 32 teams participating in the Champions League this term have already been put in different groups, starting from Group A to Group H.
In August, UEFA announced the Champions League group stage draw, which was streamed on the UEFA website in Istanbul, Turkey.
Dinamo Zagreb will take on Chelsea at Stadion Maksimir on Tuesday night, while Dortmund will host Copenhagen.
Benfica will clash with Maccabi Haifa and Sevilla will face Manchester City.
Other fixtures are RB Salzburg vs AC Milan, Celtic vs Real Madrid, RB Leipzig vs Shakhtar Donetsk and PSG vs Juventus.
The rest of this week’s Champions League group stage fixtures will continue on Wednesday.
Recall that Real Madrid won the Champions League last season after beating Liverpool 1-0 in the final in Paris, thanks to Vinicius’ only goal of the match.

The second team to watch out for is Manchester City.
The Premier League champions are keen to win their first Champions League after coming close in recent years.
