Como 1907 - RB Leipzig | 2026/27 Season | Champions League

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 13:17:18 GMT

Leipzig name 25-man A-list squad for Champions League Leipzig have named their 25-man A-list squad for this season's Champions League, which is as follows: Maarten Vandevoordt, Ørjan Nyland, David Raum, Max Finkgräfe, David Raum, Castello Lukeba, Maxime Estève, Willi Orbán, Lukas Klostermann, Ridle Baku, Benjamin Henrichs, Nicolas Seiwald, Neil El Aynaoui, Rocco Reitz, Ezechiel Banzuzi, Assan Ouédraogo, Christoph Baumgartner, Andrija Maksimović, Brajan Gruda, Antonio Nusa, Tidiam Gomis, Christopher Nkunku, Rômulo, Johan Bakayoko. Antonio Nusa and Assan Ouédraogo are amonst the players included in the B list, with those born after 1 January 2005 able to play without being registered in the A list.

Familiar faces There are two former Bundesliga players amongst the Italians' ranks. They include Marc-Oliver Kempf (Eintracht Frankfurt, Freiburg, VfB Stuttgart and Hertha Berlin) and Yan Couto (Borussia Dortmund),

Head-to-head Not only is this Como's first-ever Champions League game, but they will also come up against a German team for the first time. Leipzig, meanwhile, have played Italian opposition on six occasions in the past, winning twice and drawing three.

Como's first UEFA adventure For the first time this campaign, Como will compete in a UEFA competition following their fourth-place finish last term. This is just their third term back in the top flight following promotion, having spent the majority of their history in Serie B and Serie C.

Leipzig's last European campaign: 24/25 Leipzig failed to qualify for any of last term's three continental competitions, meaning they are making a return to European this time around. In 2024/25, they endured a torrid Champions League League phase, losing each of their opening six games and seven out of eight in total. That saw them end up 32nd out of 36 teams - they will be desperate to do better this time around.

The first leg in that encounter, a 5-4 win for PSG at the Parc des Princes, was one of the most memorable games in recent history.

VfB Stuttgart - Viking FK Stavanger | 2026/27 Season | Champions League

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 13:16:57 GMT

Stuttgart's 25-man A-list squad Stuttgart have named their 25-man A-list squad for the tournament. It is as follows: Fabian Bredlow, Marius Funk, Ameen Al-Dakhil, Lorenz Assignon, Jeff Chabot, Ramon Hendriks, Luca Jaquez, Finn Jeltsch, Maximilian Mittelstädt, Josha Vagnoman, Alexander Groiß, Dominik Nothnagel, Bilal El Khannouss, Chris Führich, Atakan Karazor, Jamie Leweling, Nikolas Nartey, Grischa Prömel, Angelo Stiller, Tiago Tomás, Ermedin Demirović, Dženan Pejčinović, Leo Sauer, Deniz Undav

Who are Viking? Viking are Norway's joint-second most successful club after Rosenborg, winning the league title on nine occasions. They were crowned champions in 2025 for the first time in 34 years, and are currently just a point adrift of leaders Bodø/Glimt in 2026. Their best European performance came in 2005/06, when they played their maiden group stage as they competed the Europa League, drawing 0-0 with Hamburg on their way to a fourth-place finish out of five.

Head-to-head Stuttgart are yet to play Viking, but have previously gone up against Norwegian opposition on four occasions. All of the fixtures came versus Molde in the Europa League, with the Swabians winning on just one occasion.

Viking in Europe: 2025/26 Viking competed in the Conference League in 2025/26, but were unable to reach the League Phase. Their second qualifying round tie was comfortable enough as they hammered Koper of Slovenia 12-3 on aggregate, but they were beaten in the third round by Türkiye's İstanbul Başakşehir 4-2 across two legs.

Stuttgart in Europe: 2025/26 Sebastian Hoeneß's men produced a solid League Phase in last season's Europa League as they finished 11th, winning five of their eight games and losing the other three. They had too much for Celtic in the play-off round, but were ultimately eliminated 4-1 on aggregate by Porto in the round of 16.

Borussia Dortmund - Villarreal Club de Futbol | 2026/27 Season | Champions League

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 09:50:57 GMT

Familiar face There is one former Bundesliga player in Villarreal's squad after Péter Gulácsi swapped RB Leipzig for the Spanish side this past summer. However, he is yet to feature for his new club in a competitive match.

Head-to-head Last season's 4-0 victory for Dortmund over Villarreal in the League Phase was the first meeting between the two teams. Otherwise, BVB have faced Spanish opposition on 47 occasions, winning 15 and losing 20. Villarreal, meanwhile, have won six of their 16 matches versus German sides, losing on five occasions.

Villarreal in Europe: 2025/26 Villarreal were also in last season's League Phase, but it proved to be a disastrous campaign. In their eight games, they managed just one point as they lost seven, finishing in 35th place out of 36 teams. Their run included defeats to Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen.

Borussia Dortmund in Europe: 2025/26 Dortmund finished 17th in last season's league phase, just outside the seeded spots for the play-off round. That gave them a difficult tie against Italian side Atalanta and, while they won 2-0 at home in the first leg, they lost the second leg 4-1, ultimately conceding a stoppage time penalty that led to their elimination.

No Can Emre Can, Giannis Konstentelias and Justin Lerma are all not included due to long-term injuries. There will be another chance for teams who qualify for the knockout stages to change their squads up until 4 February 2027, when they can register three new players.

BVB name Champions League squad Dortmund have named their squad for this season's competition, which is as follows: Gregor Kobel, Patrick Drewes, Silas Ostrzinski, Alexander Meyer, Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini, Joane Gadou, Daniel Svensson, Julian Ryerson, Kaua Prates, Filippo Mane, Jan Luca Riedl, Miguel Adje, Luca Reggiani, Felix Nmecha, Carney Chukwuemeka, Ethan Nwaneri, Marcel Sabitzer, Joey Veerman, Enzo Duarte, Mussa Kaba, Jobe Bellingham, Serhou Guirassy, Maximilian Beier, Konstantinos Karetsas, Fabio Silva, Samuele Inacio, Matthies Albert

Eintracht Frankfurt - FC Augsburg | 2026/27 Season | Bundesliga

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 11:58:04 GMT

Manuel Baum on facing Frankfurt "It's going to be a big challenge. They're incredibly good technically and very flexible. We may have to do more defending than we had to in our last game [against Schalke], so we have to be compact and approach the game with the right attitude."

Adi Hütter on facing Augsburg "Augsburg are a very good, consistent side. I expect us to go all-out to win the game from the first minute, although I obviously don't expect everything to go perfectly. Since my last game here, we've added around 9,000 seats to the stadium. I'm really excited, but it's not about me."

Noah's ark Noah Atubolu made more saves in a single Bundesliga game than ever before on Matchday 1 (eight). Can the Freiburg loanee help improve a Frankfurt defence that shipped 65 goals last season?

Winning platform Augsburg are fresh off their biggest opening-day win, but the Bavarians have only won their first two games of a Bundesliga season once before (2020/21).

Hamburger SV - 1. FSV Mainz 05 | 2026/27 Season | Bundesliga

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 12:34:44 GMT

Merlin Polzin on facing Mainz "I get on really well with Urs [Fischer]. I thought they had an outstanding second half of last season, not only in terms of results but the manner in which they bounced back after a frustrating first half of the campaign. They have great individual quality. I'm expecting to face a very strong side and we need to be prepared."

Urs Fischer on facing Hamburg "Hamburg are a quality team who play with a lot of intensity. They've brought in a couple of very good players in the last few days. They have a clear style of play, so it's going to be a really big test for us. We're going to have to give all we have to get a positive result."

Poulsen milestone HSV striker Yussuf Poulsen is in line to make his 250th Bundesliga appearance. The Dane has scored more Bundesliga goals against Mainz than any team he's faced, though the last of those five strikes came almost five years ago.

Goalless Mainz and Hamburg are among the five Bundesliga clubs that failed to score on Matchday 1. Last season, the 05ers opened their account on Matchday 2, while HSV had to wait until Matchday 4.
