Champions League Group D

Liverpool

Ajax

Atalanta

Midtjylland

This is the group that the purists likely most want to see. Liverpool vs Ajax probably should have been the final in 2019, and one can’t help but feel this clash has come at least a season too late as the entertaining Dutch side have inevitably been stripped of some very fine talent. It is Atalanta however who bring the x-factor with their daring approach regardless of opponent. Gasperini vs Klopp sounds mouth-watering and expect to see all sorts of creative attacking combinations when their teams face off. The Reds and La Dea are the favourites to progress, but Ajax’s attacking traditions ensure an element of mystery remains alive in this group.
