Champions League Returns On DStv and GOtv as PSG and Manchester United clash in France

The pick of matches on Tuesday October 20 as the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League returns on DStv and GOtv this week is the epic clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United in the French capital.

Football fans can look forward to Matchday 1 action as the hosts desperately look to avenge their controversial exit from the 2018-19 Champions League round of 16 at the hands of the Red Devils.

However, it’s been a tough start to the new season for PSG and manager Tomas Tuchel says a lack of signings makes their chances of repeating last season UCL success – when they reached the final and narrowly lost to Bayern Munich – a tough task.

“We can’t speak about having the same objectives. Perhaps we can do it but we can’t ask for the same things from such a reduced squad when we will have to fight with teams like Manchester City, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, who have all been very strong in the transfer market,” said Tuchel.

“In a season like this, with players who will be playing a lot for their national teams, with the coronavirus, without a pre-season, with a schedule like we have, I am worried that we will pay the price in October, November, December and January.”

Tuesday also sees heavyweights such as Juventus, Chelsea, Sevilla, Lazio, Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona in action, while Wednesday 21 October is headlined by Bayern Munich opening the defence of their title with a home clash against Atletico Madrid.

The German side will look to African-born Canadian international Alphonso Davies to once again inspire with his pace and composure from the wingback position.

“Even though we won these trophies, we want more and more ,and each time we step on the field we want to show that we are out there to play football and to win games. This is what we are doing and we are happy that we can win the trophies that we are winning,” said Davies after recently helping Bayern defeat Dortmund to claim the German Supercup.

Wednesday also features a potential thriller between Ajax and Liverpool in Amsterdam, with the Reds hoping to quell the threat of a young and hungry Dutch side which so impressed in this competition a couple of seasons back.
