London: Champions League second round matches start today. Strong Bayern and Barca will face each other. Liverpool, Ajax, Tottenham and Inter Milan teams will also be on the field today.
Bayern Munich will go into battle today with the sole aim of asserting dominance. However, Barca’s fight will be to fight back. The two teams have met 11 times in the Champions League. Eight of these victories were with Bayern. Barca could beat Bayern only twice. One match ended in a draw.
Both teams were in the same group last time. Bayern won both matches unilaterally. But this time things are different. Lewandowski, who was the spearhead of Bayern, is now scoring goals for Barca. Bayern are third in the Bundesliga after six games. Three ties have already been conceded. Barca, on the other hand, have started with a draw in La Liga and have become accustomed to winning.
Inter Milan, who lost the first match, is going to a crucial match today. Opponent is Victoria Plason. Another glamor clash is between Liverpool and Ajax. Having lost to Napoli in the first match, Liverpool must win today. Ajax are coming after defeating Rangers by four goals. Today, English giants Tottenham are competing against Portuguese club Sporting. Both the teams had won their first match in the group.
