match MADRID, Sept 17, (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo faces a familiar foe as Juventus open their Champions League campaign at Atlético Madrid on Wednesday, while his former team Real Madrid visit a Paris Saint-Germain squad that will be without the attacking trio of Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappé.
Ronaldo scored a hat trick in the round of 16 last season to help Juventus eliminate Atlético, a team he repeatedly thrived against when playing for their crosstown rival.
Real Madrid caught a break for their opener in Paris as Neymar won’t be able to play for PSG because of a suspension and Cavani and Mbappé are injured. Madrid, meanwhile, will be able to count on Eden Hazard, the former Chelsea playmaker who made his competitive debut with the club in a Spanish league game on Saturday.
Manchester City visit Shakhtar Donetsk in their quest to succeed in the European competition under Pep Guardiola, while Tottenham – last season’s runners-up – travel to Greece to Atletico Madrid players attend a training session in Majadahonda, outskirts of Madrid, Spain on Sept 17.
