Tim Vickery & Miguel Pereira: The Champions League Is Bigger… But Is It Better?

The Champions League is back. But who can actually stop PSG?

Dotun Adebayo and Tim Vickery are joined by football writer and author Miguel Pereira to look ahead to the new Champions League season and debate whether PSG can make it three European titles in a row.

They discuss Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich’s chances, why Kylian Mbappé still desperately needs a Champions League title, Harry Kane’s European ambitions and whether the demands of the Premier League actually make it harder for English clubs to conquer Europe.

There’s also a fascinating debate about UEFA’s new 36-team league format, the decline of Serie A, the disappearance of traditional defending, Como’s rise under Cesc Fàbregas and the outsiders worth keeping an eye on.

Plus, the panel looks ahead to a huge opening week featuring Real Madrid vs Inter, Porto vs Manchester City, Napoli vs Arsenal and Liverpool vs Atlético Madrid.
