UEFA Champions League Day 7, Wednesday Jan 22

By Chris Dinsdale

January 22, 2025 - Europe’s new UEFA Champions League season continues, with the inaugural 36-team league format creating highly anticipated encounters. Key fixtures include Pep Guardiola’s under pressure Manchester City facing a crucial clash with Paris St-Germain, aiming to avoid early exit from the competition for the first time since 2012. Elsewhere Real Madrid host Salzburg, and Bayern Munich travel to Feyenoord.

The 70th season of Europe's elite club competition, and the 33rd since it was renamed the UEFA Champions League, this is the first under the new format. It kicks off on 9 July 2024 with the qualifiers, and runs until the final on Saturday May 31, 2025 at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.

Real Madrid are defending champions having defeated Borussia Dortmund in the 2024 final.

The UEFA Champions League is contested by the highest ranked teams of the strongest UEFA national associations. It is the top club competition in European football and one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world. The Champions League final is the most watched annual sporting event worldwide.
