#UCL 18/19: The journey to Madrid

Group-C(ollection of Stars)

Life can be unfair, just ask Red Star Belgrade.

Need an amazing trio, because this group can serve them left right and center. Mbappe/ Neymar/ Cavani or Salah/Mane/Firmino and Mertens/Callejon/Insigne, some of Europe's greatest attacking talent will be on display.

Let's look at the sheer volume of goals these three teams and their players scored last season: PSG in the 17/18 UCL season - Mbappe scored 4 goals and had 3 assists, Neymar bagged 6 and assisted another 3 while Cavani chipped in with 7 goals and an assist. After some below-par performances in past seasons, Thomas Tuchel's side start favourite this time around.

Liverpool's front three made history in the UCL last year: Salah with 10 goals and 4 assists, Mane bagged 10 goals and a solitary assist, while Firmino had a magical 10 goals and 7 assists. Given the fact they are all 26 and in their prime, Klopp will be looking to do one better and win his first trophy with the club.

Napoli's front three bagged 36 goals in Serie A between them in the 201/18 season, and with support from Hamsik and a fit-again Milik, expect a firm challenge from Carlo Ancelotti's men.

Prediction: While results against Red Star Belgrade could prove vital in terms of goal difference and who finishes top, you really fancy PSG and Liverpool to progress comfortably. Napoli could try and make it hard, but perhaps the task at hand is beyond them.
