Soccer: Champions League Group C Review

This is how Chelsea’s Group C looks probably the group of death...

Chelsea

Antonio Conte’s side are back at Europe’s top table after a one year absence, and do so as champions of England.

Conte struggled to make his mark on the continent during his time with Juventus, but will be confident of reaching the last eight (at least).

Qarabag

The Azerbaijan side surprisingly came through a playoff with Copenhagen, but have been handed a horrible draw on their debut in the group stage.

Atletico Madrid

Diego Simeone’s men were beaten by their great city rivals in last year’s semi-finals and, while their transfer ban means there are no new faces, they haven’t lost anyone either.

Should again be contenders, but how will they adapt to their new surroundings at the Wanda Metropolitano?

Roma

The Giallorossi are beginning a new post-Francesco Totti era, under Eusebio Di Francesco, stepping up after doing good work with Sassuolo.

Edin Dzeko top-scored in Serie A with 29 goals last term and leads the line, while 21-year-old midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini is one to watch, having followed Di Francesco.
