A fixture that deserves its place in the latter stages of the tournament, football fans will be in for a treat when these two sides meet in the group stage.

Cristiano Ronaldo will probably be licking his lips in anticipation as he faces his old rivals from Madrid yet again - the last time the Portuguese superstar took on Diego Simeone's men in this competition, he scored a hattrick which lead to Atletico Madrid's elimination. Of course, the circumstances are different this time around, but the intensity will remain.

A stacked Juventus squad with new boy Matthijs de Ligt, and led by Ronaldo upfront will be aiming for nothing less than the trophy this season.

Facing them will be a revamped Atletico team. Despite the loss of Antoine Greizmann, Rodri and Diego Godin, the Spanish team has started the domestic season strongly. New signing Joao Felix is already starting to make a name for himself, and Simeone and his team look ready to finally claim the prize that has eluded them twice in the last six years.

Revenge will be on the cards as they will look to deal Juventus a loss, after getting eliminated at their hands last season in the Round of 16.

Maurizio Sarri vs Diego Simeone, Cristiano Ronaldo vs Joao Felix - this, and more will be on display when these two heavyweights clash in what can be the best game of the group stages.
