About this listen

Listeners, there’s big news in the Champions League as UEFA released the complete fixture schedule for the upcoming season featuring the new league phase format. The campaign launches in mid-September, highlighted by Real Madrid facing Marseille, Bayern Munich clashing with Chelsea, and Liverpool traveling to Atletico Madrid. Other high-profile openers include Barcelona meeting Newcastle and Inter squaring off at Ajax. According to ESPN, every team will play eight matches, four home and four away, as part of a single league table, making each match critical as squads target a top-eight finish to automatically advance.

Team news is buzzing as Inter Milan are set for a demanding run, hosting Liverpool, Arsenal, and Kairat Almaty, while facing tough away tests at Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, and Ajax. Arsenal’s journey starts at Athletic Club before a rugged stretch that includes Bayern Munich and Inter. According to Sports Illustrated, Chelsea must contend with Bayern Munich away to start and face home battles against the likes of Barcelona and Napoli. Manchester City, under Pep Guardiola, have a marquee clash with Real Madrid looming, while Liverpool’s crucial fixtures include both Atletico Madrid and Inter, but they’ll hope to finish strong with a home tie versus Qarabag.

Transfer markets in major leagues continue to dominate headlines. AC Milan’s summer has been eventful, selling Theo Hernandez to Saudi Arabia and Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City. They’ve made reinforcements by bringing in Luka Modric on a free and bolstering their midfield with Samuele Ricci. Napoli’s statement signing is Kevin De Bruyne on a free, with Victor Osimhen departing for Galatasaray. Inter Milan added Henrique from Marseille and Angeoan Bonny to strengthen their attack, while Juventus landed Jonathan David. Roma brought in Wesley from Flamengo, as well as Neil El Aynaoui from Lens, and signed striker Evan Ferguson on loan from Brighton.

Player performances are shaping domestic league narratives, especially in Serie A where Inter’s Lautaro Martinez is strongly backed to win the Capocannoniere as the league’s top scorer. In England, the Premier League Golden Boot race is tight, with Erling Haaland of Manchester City, Mohamed Salah of Liverpool, and Tottenham’s Richarlison among the standout names early in the season.

Internationally, American players remain prominent, with Christian Pulisic starring at AC Milan, Yunus Musah anchoring their midfield, and Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah competing strongly at Juventus. The Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Ligue 1 all see top contenders warming up, none more so than Real Madrid, PSG, and Manchester City, who are assembling formidable lineups ahead of Champions League action.

Off the pitch, no major controversies have rocked the global soccer scene in the last day, but the anticipation for the new Champions League format has fans and pundits eagerly debating potential favorites and dark horses.
