This season’s UEFA Champions League introduces a major change, shifting from the traditional group stage to a league stage with 36 teams. In this new setup, each club plays eight matches against different opponents, creating more variety and intensity across fixtures. 

The Champions League hits Matchday 5, and the pressure is on as results begin to shape the road to the knockouts. With only the top eight earning a direct last-16 spot, every point now counts. Some big names like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Manchester City find themselves outside the top eight, while PSG face an even bigger struggle to break into the top 24. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Tuesday’s fixtures promise plenty of drama. Bayern Munich host PSG in a must-win clash for both, making it the standout match of the night. Elsewhere, Arsenal face a tricky test at Sporting CP, and Manchester City look to bounce back at home against Feyenoord. Meanwhile, Barcelona meet this season’s surprise package, Brest.

Meanwhile Wednesday’s standout match will see Liverpool hosting reigning champions Real Madrid. Meanwhile, in other major fixtures to look around we will see Aston Villa hosting Juventus, Monaco welcoming Benfica and Dinamo Zagreb facing Borussia Dortmund. 

The Sporting News looks at the key fixture details this week and how to follow the matches.
