Champions league reunions and flashbacks light up today's matches

Today's Champions League fixtures offer a compelling lineup, featuring echoes of past finals and intriguing reunions.

Ajax returns to the Champions League after two years, facing Inter Milan in a match reminiscent of the 1972 final. Inter has had a shaky start under Cristian Chivu.

Bayern Munich versus Chelsea revisits another final, the 2012 clash in Munich. Drogba's decisive penalty kick secured Chelsea's first Champions League title.

Atletico Madrid, known for its masterful defensive display against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in 2020, may need to replicate that performance at Anfield.

The defending champions, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), hampered by injuries, must be wary of Ivan Juric's Atalanta.

Manchester City's match against Napoli is not just a reunion for Kevin De Bruyne with former teammates. It's a tactical battle between Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte, who has defeated the Spanish coach 4 times.

Newcastle, playing at St James' Park and fueled by memories of Faustino Asprilla's 1997 Champions League hat-trick, will be a formidable opponent for Barcelona.
