Now that the groups have been drawn there are a few match-ups that jump off the page during Matchday 1 of the UEFA Champions League. 

Manchester United will take on Young Boys in an away match that will likely see Ronaldo take to the field. The signature of Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be understated and it’s in the Champions League where we can expect him to make his biggest impression. 

United go into the contest as favourites with a price of around 11/21 while Young Boys trade at a 6/1 listing to get the job done at home. The draw sits around a 19/5 margin and could wind up being a solid option for those who think United need a few more matches to hit top gear. 

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich is a massive clash and you can expect this to be one of the highest volume markets on the day. It’s going to be really interesting to see how Barcelona fare without their talisman Lionel Messi pulling the strings in midfield but they obviously do boast plenty of quality in their side. 

Barca can be backed around a 35/16 best price to win the match at home while Bayern Munich are priced as the 5/4 favourites to win the match and take all three points.
