The UEFA Champions League league phase returns in early November, with major clubs looking to build momentum as the table takes shape. Here are the fixtures worth marking on your calendar.
Tuesday, November 3: Barcelona vs Aston Villa
Barcelona welcome Aston Villa on Tuesday night. Barcelona will want to use home advantage and control possession, while Villa will look for opportunities to attack space quickly. Both sides’ final line-ups and player availability should be checked on matchday.
Wednesday, November 4: AEK Athens vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid travel to Greece to face AEK Athens. UEFA lists kick-off at 18:45 CET (19:45 Sudan time). Away-game management, set pieces and transition defence are key themes to watch, but the final team news should come from the clubs’ official channels.
