Giants like champions PSG, Barcelona, ​​Manchester City and Arsenal are taking to the field today in the 3rd match of the Champions League league stage. Hansi Flick's opponent is Greek club Olympiacos at the temporary home venue of the Catalans, Louis Kompany Stadium, at 1:45 am. Leverkusen will host PSG at the Bay Arena. English giant Arsenal's opponent is Atletico Madrid, Manchester City faces Villarreal. The matches start at 1:00 am.

Luis Enrique's PSG is in great shape in the Champions League. Barcelona's home victory, 6 points in two matches, is very confident. However, Leverkusen is cautious before the match. The German team has changed coaches in the new season, adding 20 new footballers to the team.

Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele is returning to the field in this match after recovering from injury. The first match after being recognized as the world's best.

PSG coach Luis Enrique said, you are reading about the Ballon d'Or. Dembele is important to us, not the Ballon d'Or. It is very happy news for us that we are getting Dembele on the field.

Leverkusen is winless in this year's Champions League. Two draws in two matches. The Champions League record against PSG is also not in their favor, two losses in the last two matches.

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal is in great rhythm in the Premier League. 100% victory in the Champions League as well. The Arsenal boss is satisfied with the performance of his disciples. However, he is quite cautious before the fight against the Spanish powerhouse at home. Diego Simeone's tactics are worrying.

Simeone's Atletico are unbeaten in 6 consecutive matches after losing to Liverpool at Anfield last September. They want to maintain that success.

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone said, "We are looking forward to the match. We need a win in the Champions League away match, and we will go into the field with that goal in mind."

The Gunners will have Piero Hincapie on the field in this match. The defender is returning to the field after recovering from injury.
