Bayern, Real, and Liverpool in action today
 

European giants Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Liverpool will all be in action today. The German outfit will face Dinamo Zagreb, while defending champions Real Madrid will host VFB Stuttgart at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bayern Munich will be looking to start their campaign well after going trophyless last season after a long period of time.

This will be the first time that the 15-time winners of the competition will play against Stuttgart in their history. Stuttgart who finished 2nd in the German Bundesliga could put up a decent fight against Los Blancos.

Liverpool, six-time winners of the competition, will take on a familiar opponent in AC Milan at Anfield. The two sides famously clashed in the Istanbul final in 2005, where Liverpool triumphed on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw.
