The world's biggest annual soccer tournament has returned.
This week sees the start of the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League group stage, with 32 of Europe's best teams beginning the journey toward what they hope will be ultimate glory.
While there's no such thing as an "easy" match at this level of the sport, there are certainly a few games from Matchday 1 that stand out above the rest. Tuesday's Paris Saint-Germain vs. Manchester United clash is certainly one of those marquee matchups, with last year's finalist hosting one of the competition's most successful sides.

On Wednesday, reigning champion Bayern Munich hosts Atletico Madrid in a battle between the top two seeds in Group A. The result could go a long way in determining who tops the group, although Lokomotiv Moscow and RB Salzburg will also have a say in that.
