Odds: (Coral) Barcelona 10-3f Bayern Munich 5-1 Real Madrid 5-1 Chelsea 8-1 PSG 14-1 Man City 16-1 Juventus 18-1 Atletico Madrid 20-1 Man Utd 20-1 Aresnal 20-1 Wolfsburg 33-1 Monaco 40-1 Benfica 40-1 Valencia 50-1 Roma 50-1 Porto 50-1 Bayer Leverkusen 50-1 Gladbach 50-1 Sevilla 66-1 Lazio 66-1 Lyon 100-1
August 6, 20159 yr No more live matches on free-to-air ITV this season :( , looks like I'm gonna have to stream the knockout rounds when my BT Hub BT Sport deal expires in the middle of this season :( It's a bit hard to predict who will win the Champions League this season but I hope Man Utd can get to the quarter final at least.
August 6, 20159 yr Anyone's guess, as ever. Chelsea will presumably do better, Arsenal may not if they're challenging for the league.
August 6, 20159 yr Author It is a shame that ITV lost the rights to show live matches for this season's Champions League. I agree. However BT will be showing 12 matches including the final free-to-air on BT Sport Showcase.
August 6, 20159 yr So have ITV and Sky BOTH lost the rights? Glad I have BT, they're making some serious footy moves unlike previous flops (Setanta, ESPN). The winner? Well it won't be Barcelona so either Real or Bayern for me.

However BT will be showing 12 matches including the final free-to-air on BT Sport Showcase. Well at least it's better than I thought then. It is quite unthinkable for the Champions League final to not be shown on a free-to-air channel, I should imagine in any case that the viewing figures will decrease this season.
August 7, 20159 yr Champions League Play off: Manchester United vs Club Brugge Man Utd should be able to get past Club Brugge without too much difficulty.
August 7, 20159 yr Author A look at the Champions League play-off round: Astana v APOEL Nicosia Skenderbeu v Dinamo Zagreb Celtic v Malmo FC Basel v Maccabi Tel Aviv BATE Borisov v Partizan Belgrade Lazio v Bayer Leverkusen Manchester United v Club Brugge Sporting Lisbon v CSKA Moscow Rapid Vienna v Shakthar Donetsk Valencia v Monaco What do you people make of the draw? Should be no worries for Man United there in their match with Club Brugge. Intruging how the Lazio v Bayer Leverkusen and the Valencia v Monaco matches will go.

Should be no worries for Man United there in their match with Club Brugge. Intruging how the Lazio v Bayer Leverkusen and the Valencia v Monaco matches will go. Some different teams could get to the group stages like Astana could be the first team from Kazahstan to be in there if they beat Apeol in a playoff. Astana Dinamo Zagreb Celtic Basle Bate Lazio United Sporting Shaktar Valencia
August 10, 20159 yr Author I think it will be: APOEL Nicosia Dinamo Zagreb Celtic Basel BATE Lazio Man United Sporting Lisbon Shakthar Valencia
August 11, 20159 yr Author Anyone watching the European Super Cup final between FC Barcelona and Sevilla. Doesn't seem as if BT Sport Showcase are showing that match. Hopefully the highlights on ITV will be worth watching.
August 11, 20159 yr A quite incredible match ends in a 5-4 victory to Barca! Sevilla came back from 4-1 down to take it to extra but want away striker Pedro slammed home the winner 5 minutes from time.
August 11, 20159 yr Which channel is BT Sport Showcase? I have never heard of that channel before, is it on Sky Digital?
August 11, 20159 yr I just caught the highlights of the Super Cup on ITV +1. It looks like it was a really phenomenal match but it just doesn't feel the same watching highlights instead of watching the match live. It's sad that this is how Champions League matches will be viewed this season for people who don't have BT Sport, hopefully ITV will be able to somehow get the rights to broadcast live Champions League matches back next season.

I'm afraid Hazza Chapman that ITV won't be able to get the rights to broadcast live Champions League matches as early as 2018.
August 18, 20159 yr Author Listening to the Man Utd v Club Brugge match on 5 Live and Club Brugge have taken the lead thanks to a Michael Carrick own goal.
August 18, 20159 yr Author 4 minutes later and Man United have equalised thanks to a Memphis Depay goal. Should be back to normality here.
August 18, 20159 yr What a fantastic return to Champions League football for Man U. Really f***ing fantastic. However, 5 mins later the Depay goal was lovely. Very thrilled that he's got his first proper united goal.
