Champions League excitement is building as UEFA’s league phase kicks off this week, featuring packed matchdays and several high-profile clashes, including Real Madrid facing Marseille, Juventus taking on Borussia Dortmund, and Bayern Munich squaring off against Chelsea. According to UEFA, a new rule has just been introduced allowing clubs to temporarily replace one outfield player with a long-term injury or illness up until matchday six, aimed at maintaining competitive balance, especially as major teams like Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Arsenal have had to omit key players from their league squads, and could now benefit from added flexibility.Listeners tracking player performances will note Kylian Mbappé’s red-hot form; after scoring 44 goals in his debut season for Real Madrid, he started the current campaign with three more in La Liga plus goals for France during World Cup qualifying. Juventus’s Dušan Vlahović, Bayern’s Michael Olise, and Harry Kane are also standouts, all showing early-season scoring touch and emerging as favorites for both fans and fantasy managers worldwide. Napoli and Juventus, however, remain without Romelu Lukaku and Arkadiusz Milik due to injury issues.For Barcelona fans, the much-anticipated return to the revamped Spotify Camp Nou has hit another delay as the September 14 match against Valencia will be played at Johan Cruyff Stadium instead, due to pending permits and inspections.
