As we head into the second half of the UEFA Champions League group stage, teams such as Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Atletico Madrid are in pole position, while Juventus is on the outside looking in.
The Italian giants welcome Real Madrid to the Juventus Stadium on Tuesday looking for revenge for their last encounter two weeks ago, which not only saw Madrid win but also saw Juve lose top defender Giorgio Chiellini to a red card, leaving him out of the rematch. Antonio Conte’s side have earned just two points from their first three games and sit in third place, where they can’t progress to the knockout stages.
While Cristiano Ronaldo has continued to score for his club in Madrid, so has Atletico Madrid forward Diego Costa and he’ll look to add to his outrageous start to the season against Austria Wien.
Elsewhere in Europe, Manchester United and David Moyes visit Real Sociedad, Manchester City host CSKA Moscow, and PSG host Sacha Kljestan’s Anderlecht side, who they demolished 5-0 last time around.
Here is a rundown of today’s UEFA Champions League action:
2:45pm – Fox Sports 1 – Real Sociedad vs. Manchester United

And where is the running commentary? Once again.
Will anyone put up a resistance to Bayern Munich? I don’t think so…
honestly I’d say Man U fans have taken a hit in the last few years with the rise of Man City and Spurs fans. Statewide and worldwide
The only hit they took is in their wallet by having to replace their ManU swag for ManCity kits.
rekt
Is anyone else bored of watching only Man U play on Fox Sports 1? Your telling me that is a better game then Juve Madrid?
Welcome to casual soccer fan hell. Take a Man U or Barca jersey at the door.
Please don’t support soccer in the US while here.
I hear you but Man U = ratings and ratings = profits and profits = more soccer on TV.
The very least my terrible cable provider could give me an option to get more channels. Instead I get more ESPN’s so I can watch a talk show about next years NFL draft
i don’t know, i think there’s a limit. i have no desire to watch man u-sociedad, but i would watch the hell out of juve-madrid.
You’re one of a few. Think of all the ManU “fans” and the Mexicans finally getting to watch Carlos Vela.
not sure too many mexicans want to watch carlos vela right now either. 🙂
seriously. i think FS2 is in HD now at least. well, for U-verse.
Yep that Man U game was stellar.
anyone wanna bet that Sacha scores today?
No offense to Sacha, but I’d definitely take the side of the bet that he doesn’t score.
have you SEEN his girlfriend?
Zing!
Maybe it is more than his mustache that is porn star worthy.
EWWWWWWW.
so that’s why he didn’t make the world cup LOL
