5 clubs who could finish atop their respective groups in the Champions League this season

#2 Paris Saint-Germain

The Parisians have a 100% start to their UCL campaign this term

With the resurrection of Neymar, Paris Saint-Germain are another team to watch out for in the Champions League this season. Only the unavailability of the Brazilian could prove to be their undoing. If they can manage to keep him fit, there is nothing to stop them from going unbeaten in the group stages.

The Parisians currently sit atop the Group A table with 6 points to their names. They defeated Real Madrid 3-0 in their opening fixture and followed it up with a 1-0 victory over Galatasaray. If they maintain their momentum throughout the group stage, they could even go without tasting defeat.

Their biggest game left in the group stage remains the away fixture to Madrid. Given the unconvincing performances of the Spanish giants at present, it should be an easy one. A home game against Galatasaray and a home-and-away tie with Club Brugge should be done and dusted with flair and pomp.

#1 Bayern Munich

Bayern recorded a massive 7-2 victory over Tottenham in their recent fixture.

The Bavarians were outstanding the last time out as they went away from home and gave their hosts the thrashing of their lives. It appears as if it had been destined that the group winners in group B would be between Bayern and Tottenham. With Tottenham starting to slip up, it is up to Bayern now to give the prize away.

Their first two matches have been done and dusted. Eight goals and six points should be enough pointers in favor of the Bavarians. If at the end of the group stage matches, Bayern end up anywhere else other than the top of the pile, then something must have gone terribly wrong in the interim. What are the matches remaining for the Bavarians?

Away to Crvena Zvezda, home and away to Olympiacos, and home to Tottenham. How many points do you expect them to have from those matches? No disrespect to Crvena, but that is a match that they should deal with without breaking a sweat.

Nothing much to say about Olympiacos, either, maybe some experimentation by the Bayern team is on the cards. And the Lilywhites? They are coming to the Allianz Arena. So they should pray not to have a repeat of what happened in their own backyard.
