It’s a new era in the Champions League under the new Swiss model and league table method.
The draw has brought us a really tough home match up in Leverkusen, it will be a test of two smart teams with good managers.
City should have more than enough despite it being another match in very few days of rest and it being a must win. Expect some sparks. and slight rotation.
