Event: CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2021-2022

Three of the four sides in Group D were also drawn together last season, when Inter finished bottom and Shakhtar third, despite beating Real Madrid home and away. Madrid every now and again can still find a performance to evoke memories of the days of glory, but an ageing squad is increasingly inconsistent.

Although Inter won Serie A for the first time since 2010, they have since lost their manager, Antonio Conte, replaced by Simone Inzaghi, as well as Romelu Lukaku and Hakimi. Lassina Traoré and Marlon were the two big arrivals for Shakhtar, whose run of four straight Ukrainian titles was ended last season. Sheriff became the first Moldovan side to reach the group stage by seeing off Dinamo Zagreb in the play-off.

There are three former winners and a former semi-finalist in Group E, but this should be relatively straightforward for Bayern, who beat Barcelona 8-2 last time they met. They will, almost certainly, win a 10th successive Bundesliga title this season but that dominance means their season will be judged largely on results in Europe where Nagelsmann has not yet convinced.

We're expecting goals in this Group E clash between two of the most successful sides in European football. When the two sides last locked horns in 2020, Barcelona lost at home 8-2 and the pair's previous encounter before that in 2015 ended in a 3-2 win for Bayern Munich who were the home side on that day. Barcelona recently secured a 4-2 win over Real Sociedad while Bayern followed a 3-2 win over Cologne with a 5-0 thrashing of Hertha Berlin, so you can see why we're backing goals in this game.

Moving on with our 2021/22 Champions League predictions, let’s talk about the best Bundesliga team! What can Bayern Munich do this year? The German national team couldn’t handle the heat against England on the EURO. Plus, their domestic league has fallen down to a one-team show with Borussia failing to get enough consistency even with a world-class talent in Erling Haaland.

But, that doesn’t take away from the fact that Bayern Munich are a great team! Yes, Alaba and Boateng are out of the equation, but Bayern have already brought in a stellar replacement in Dayot Upamecano. The brilliant French center-back is often labeled as one of the best youngsters in his position, and a price of €42.5 million definitely reflects that.
