The action in the UEFA Champions League Group of Death, Group D, swings back into full gear later today and all four teams will be eager to pick up points so as to not fall behind in the race for the top two spots.
Manchester City are in dire need of grabbing three points after failing to put away Real Madrid in the group opener, but they will have to knock off reigning German Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund in order to do so. City will have an edge as they are playing at home, but the pressure for them to win will build with every minute considering Dortmund already has three points after beat Ajax in the first round.
Ajax will also be looking to pick up a win today, as they host Real Madrid in a match that should be wide open from the start. The Dutch club was shutout in their group-opening loss to Borussia Dortmund, so finding the back of the net will be vital for them to gain some confidence against one of the most expensive teams in the world.
