Pep Guardiola has warned his Manchester City players that relying on Erling Haaland alone will not finally win the club the Champions League.

We will try to help him do well, and hopefully he can do it. “With players from the north of Europe, I always think their mum and dad raised them very well. “We’re all very, very surprised by his level,” Guardiola said. “If people see us as the main favourites, what can I say? Guardiola added: “We depend on what happens on the pitch. At City, I would love to have the history Will that help us win the title? Asked if he was the kind of player, like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, who could take City to another level, Guardiola replied: “Listen, all the players who came this season came to try to make us better, otherwise it makes no sense. “I know, I know,” Guardiola said, head nodding, eyes rolling as the inevitable question came about the failure to land Europe’s most coveted trophy. We will try to enjoy it; we know how hard it is. “I know, I know. I understand completely that everyone talks about Erling and hopefully he can help.”

What a great opportunity to play our football. “We have to bring our own identity.

This is who we are now as a team and won’t change. Is it a sign of how far we’ve come that we’re excited to take on Madrid? Hopefully, it does work. That isn’t easy in this day and age.

In last season’s Champions League, Salzburg was held goalless only once and generated 1.48 expected goals per 90 minutes in four group matches.

The Spanish Giants are ranked fourth in the world overall in our rankings, and the next-highest team in their group, RB Leipzig, are down in 25th in the model. The Power Rankings machine has the Austrian champions as the 15th highest-ranked side in the world, just one spot above Spurs and ahead of the likes of Juventus, Napoli, Sevilla and even Milan themselves. Similarly, PSG are by far and away the strongest team in their group, and they’ll expect to qualify at a canter. Their power ranking score of 85.7 is the lowest in Group D, and actually the eighth lowest in the overall UCL draw. Celtic, winners of the European Cup in 1967, will be under immense pressure to get out of this draw, with them ranked as the lowest team in Group F. On the flip side, Tottenham’s Group D has the lowest average power ranking across the four teams of 89.3. Rangers are in the group stage for the first time in 12 years after overcoming PSV Eindhoven, and will be a huge test, particular at Ibrox. It’s a group that contains a fellow top ten team in Ajax (8th overall) and Napoli have started extremely well in Serie A this season. Spurs are actually the highest ranked side in this group (14th overall in the world) while Eintracht Frankfurt, who are the top seeded team, are actually ranked as the weakest. You’ve got to really feel for Viktoria Plzeň here, who are the models’ 62nd ranked team in the world being drawn in with the big boys. But the ‘Group of Death’™ looks like Group C. To add insult to injury, Viktoria Plzeň aren’t even the ‘weakest’ team in the draw overall.

Champions League: Real Madrid begin title defence against Celtic ... (Gulf News)

Manchester City face Sevilla, Liverpool meet Napoli, PSG play Juventus.

These clubs are all minnows in the Champions League pond, and most will be making up the numbers. From 2024 the group stage will be expanded to feature 36 clubs, up from 32, with all teams together in one pool and playing eight matches, instead of eight groups of four teams. It could be that the real impact of that is only felt when the knockout rounds start in February, when many players at Europe’s biggest clubs will have had to come through the draining experience of a mid-season World Cup. “We will have to be ready not just for the quality of the opposition but also for the different demands and rhythms,” said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, whose team begin at Napoli on Wednesday as they look to put their defeat against Real in the final last May behind them. Usually the group stage finishes in December, but the World Cup has forced UEFA to fit all six Champions League matchdays into a period of nine weeks starting earlier than usual. They will set out with the aim of winning a 15th European Cup in Istanbul next June, with the group stage unlikely to overly trouble Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

UEFA Champions League bold predictions: It's finally Man City's ... (CBSSports.com)

The Champions League is back for a competition unlike any other. The final year of the traditional group stage will see the six dramatic rounds squeezed ...

The former have the superior recent pedigree in Europe and any team that have beaten Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and PSV in recent months should welcome their opponents to Ibrox full of belief. He might only have moved to Portugal at the start of this season, but, if his statistics are in any way reflective of his talent, it could be a matter of months rather than years until the Premier League clubs that have been tracking him make the plunge. With RB Leipzig struggling under Domenico Tedesco and Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in an unknowable position while playing their home matches in Poland, there would appear to be a very real prospect that Ange Postecoglu's side can actually make the round of 16. When a string of former players are praising not just his talent but his character -- former Gers defender Craig Moore hailed "his desire to get on the ball and make things happen" -- you can feel confident he won't be overawed by the tests that will come against Ajax, Liverpool and Napoli. On the basis that I expect Haaland and his team mates to be involved in the competition until later than the holders it's the Norwegian that is worth backing. The Bundesliga champions have wobbled in recent weeks; such is the nature of this condensed schedule that one dip in form could be critical. Madrid have perhaps the only group that is as inviting as City's, and there is no question that Carlo Ancelotti's side are set up to funnel chances towards Benzema. Indeed, with the exception of central midfield, Inter might just have the quality across the squad to weather injuries in plenty of positions. They have struggled against top tier Serie A opposition so far this season but if this becomes just a slightly improved version of the team that so tested Liverpool in last season's knockout stages, they could achieve a great deal in Europe. But if they were to escape there is plenty in this squad that suggests it could spring a surprise or two. Yes they may seem to have their particular hang-ups around this competition, but they also have been one of the Champions League's most consistent clubs. The final year of the traditional group stage will see the six dramatic rounds squeezed into less than two months, making room for the Qatar World Cup in a season that will ask more of players than any before.
