With a dense day of favorites, Real Madrid, Manchester City and PSG, the Champions League begins its group stage this Tuesday, with the novelty of being very condensed and loaded due to the 2022 World Cup, with a dangerous calendar that invites not to give no wrong step.
Accustomed to a calendar that is staggered from mid-September to mid-December and allows certain crises at the beginning of the season until they find the rhythm, the greats of Europe will not have any moment of respite this time: the prospect of the World Cup in Qatar (November 20-December 18) cuts the season in two, compressing the first phase of the Champions League in two months only.
