The elite club competition in the world, Champions League is set to start with some mouth-watering matches lined up for matchday 1 on Tuesday (September 12) and Wednesday (September 13). Barcelona's clash with Juventus is going to be one of the biggest contests while Tottenham Hotspur versus Borussia Dortmund could prove to be an interesting affair as well.

However, one has to understand that all the 32 teams have deservedly earned their right to feature in the competition. Some of the teams made it via playoffs including Liverpool before the main draw of the Champions League.

Not a single team can be termed weak, but there are sides like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus, PSG and Manchester United, which are always looked upon as the elite clubs in world football.

The 32 teams have been divided into eight groups, with the top two going through to the knockout stages. The draw, which took place last month, has been favourable for most teams, but Group H can be termed as the 'group of death' as it includes Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham Hotspur and APOEL.
