Virtually all of the usual suspects are still here again this year and it’s probably no big surprise that current Champions League holders Real Madrid are considered to be the outright favourites to secure the trophy once again.

Alongside Real Madrid are the likely challengers including Bayern Munich, FC Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain - who are now considered to be one of the powerhouses of European football and you will have to consider them a really interesting option going forward.

There aren’t really any particularly difficult groups that stand out right now but there are still plenty of quality match-ups in store. It’s always worth remembering that there is usually one or two big sides that fail to make it out of their groups but it’s tough to nail that down right now.

Right now, it appears as though Group D and Group C could be the really tricky ones where we will probably see a bigger side wind up in the Europa League following the Group stage.
