Champions League: What to look forward to this week

The UEFA Champions League continues this week with a number of mouth-watering clashes.  Holders Bayern Munich will be in action, same as English league leaders Manchester City. The Bavarians, boasting of the goal-scoring machine Robert Lewandowski, will not get it easy against the Italian side, led by talisman Ciro Immobile. Free-scoring Atalanta will host Spanish giants Real Madrid, who seem to be getting about their business as usual despite a number of injuries to key players. However, arguably the match of the week will see Atletico Madrid host English side Chelsea. The match would have been one to remember at the Wanda Metropolitano, but as it stands, it will be staged at the Arena Naţională in Bucharest. Chelsea were the last side to beat Diego Simeone's team at home in the Champions League, in 2017 Group Stages.
