SICK STADIUMS Next year’s tournament will be a special one, as it celebrates its 60th birthday! That’s why UEFA are taking the comp on tour of some of Europe’s coolest grounds, including historic venues like Wembley and Germany’s Allianz Arena, plus sick new grounds like the revamped Puskas Arena in Hungary! COOL KITS Nothing gets us more excited for a tournament than sick new kits, so we were buzzing when adidas recently revealed new strips for Spain, Germany, Russia, Belgium and Wales! We’re expecting more shirts, including England’s new one, some time next year! FOOTBALL’S COMING HOME We already knew the semi-finals and final would be taking place at Wembley, but England will be playing all their group games there too! The Aviva Stadium and Hampden Park are host stadiums…

20 NICOLAS TAGLIAFICO AJAX Left-back The lung-busting Argentina left-back was class in Ajax’s opening CL game against Lille, bagging a goal and an assist! With 20 successful tackles in total, only one player has made more in the Champo League this campaign! DID YOU KNOW? Tagliafico joined Ajax for just £4 million in 2018. Bargain! 19 ALEX OXLADECHAMBERLAIN LIVERPOOL Midfielder The Ox has made our Top 20, even though he’s only played half of the games so far – that’s how good he’s been! He netted two top-quality goals in Genk, before bagging another in the reverse fixture at Anfield. Hero! DID YOU KNOW? The Ox got a CL winners’ medal last season, despite not playing a single game! 18 PRESNEL KIMPEMBE PSG Centre-back The France CB has always been…

WALKER MAN.CITY FAB FACT! Walker has played over 100 games in all comps for both Man. City and Tottenham! KRUL NORWICH FAB FACT!  This season, Krul became the first GK to save two penalties in a Prem game since 2016! TIELEMANS LEICESTER FAB FACT! Tielemans got his first call-up to the Belgium senior squad when he was just 18! RASHFORD MAN. UNITED FAB FACT!  Including club and country, he’s reached double figures for goals four seasons in a row! JANMAAT WATFORD FAB FACT!

WILLIAN CHELSEA FAB FACT! The Samba Star has played…

There’s no need for that extra pair of socks with Puma’s jaw-dropping Winterized Pack! If you hate playing football in the cold, the One and Future cleats from PUMA’s wicked Winterized Pack are the ultimate option! They’ve got something called ‘Thinsulate insulation technology’, which is basically an extra layer to keep your feet nice and warm in the coldest of games this winter! How cool is that?! PUMA BAG MAGUIRE! Puma’s ultimate XI has just been given a big boost – the mega brand have snapped up Man. United and England centre-back Harry Maguire. Quality signing! NEW NEYMAR LOGO! While MATCH was taking a look at PSG and Brazil legend Neymar’s brand-new website, we realised he’s also got a new Neymar JR logo – check it out! BARMY BOYATA! Belgium…

WEEKLY TOP 20! Check out MATCH’s league table after gameweek 12! TRANSFER IN… Here are some top signing tips to consider for this weekend’s action! BEN CHILWELL The England LB has been wicked for The Foxes this season and, after tearing it up for The Three Lions recently, he’s full of confidence! ANTHONY MARTIAL Martial’s finally fit and faces leaky Villa this weekend! He’s playing as a No.9 for The Red Devils, so could be a bargain midfielder on FPL! GERARD DEULOFEU The Hornets have started to turn the corner recently, and Deulofeu’s been in the points! We’re backing him to get more this week too! TRANSFER OUT… You might want to think about swapping these heroes out! EDERSON Ederson was still owned by 16% of FPL managers when he…

STORY SO FAR! We’re getting bored of writing this every year, but it looks like PSG are going to win the Ligue 1 title again! There’s been surprises below them, though – Angers, Bordeaux and Nantes all finished in the bottom half last season, but have been PSG’s nearest challengers so far! BEST PLAYER! PSG have got most of Ligue 1’s top superstars, but one they don’t have is Memphis Depay – he’s bossed it again in 2019-20! The Lyon hero’s been on fire this season, bagging 12 goals in all competitions. Ledge! LIGUE 1 TABLE TOP SCORERS 1 W. Ben Yedder Monaco 9= Moussa Dembele Lyon 93 Habib Diallo Metz 84 Memphis Depay Lyon 7= Victor Osimhen Lille 7 MOST ASSISTS 1 Yoann Court Brest 7= Islam Slimani Monaco…

WEST BROM v BRISTOL CITY These sides are pushing for promotion and love to attack, so it should be packed with goals at The Hawthorns! FEYENOORD v RANGERS Rangers have already beaten the Dutch giants once this season, but it will be much tougher to get a result away! BAYERN MUNICH v B. LEVERKUSEN These are two of Germany’s biggest clubs! Can Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski continue his red-hot goalscoring form NORWICH v ARSENAL Norwich are struggling but Arsenal’s away form stinks, so this is a chance for The Canaries to get ahuge win! BRAGA v WOLVES Wolves could lose this, and still qualify for the EL knockout rounds! Win though, and they’ll overtake Braga and go top! CHARLTON v SHEFF. WED. Charlton and Wednesday started well, but have dropped off…

STORY SO FAR! Like La Liga, it’s tight at the top in Serie A too! Juve are still unbeaten, but Inter are hot on their heels! Napoli, who are usually best of the rest to Juve, are struggling badly – they’re miles off top spot already! BEST PLAYER! Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku, Andrea Belotti… Serie A has got tons of wicked forwards, but Ciro Immobile is leading the goalscoring charts in 2019-20! The lethal Lazio net-buster only failed to score once in his first 11 starts this season! SERIE A TABLE TOP SCORERS 1 Ciro Immobile Lazio 142 Romelu Lukaku Inter 93 Luis Muriel Atalanta 84 Andrea Belotti Torino 7= Domenico Berardi Sassuolo 7 MOST ASSISTS 1 Luis Alberto Lazio 82 Alfred Duncan Sassuolo 5= Alejandro Gomez Atalanta 5= Ciro…

TOTTENHAM V OLYMPIACOS Spurs have been hit-and-miss in the Prem and Champo League this season, but will still reach the knockout rounds with a win here! Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min have hit nine goals between them in the CL this campaign and, on that kind of form, we can only see one winner in London on Tuesday night! MAN. CITY V SHAKHTAR DONETSK Pep Guardiola’s side top their group without breaking sweat, so we doubt Shakhtar will cause them many problems at The Etihad. City won 3-0 in Ukraine, and we predict another hammering here – even if loads of stars get rested! A draw will be enough for City to qualify with agame to spare! VALENCIA V CHELSEA This is a huge game in Group H! Whoever wins…
