The 2021-22 edition of the UEFA Champions League has been exciting so far. Liverpool and Manchester City came out of their respective “groups of death” unscathed, while knocking out
tournament regulars RB Leipzig and Porto, respectively. However, the biggest tournament upset happened in Group E when FC Barcelona got knocked out of the competition at the group stages for the first time in 20 years. After that, BVB Dortmund’s shock knockout from Group C was a slight afterthought. All four teams (RB Leipzig, Porto, FC Barcelona and BVB Dortmund) can try their luck in this season’s Wuropa competition, however.
Be ready to check out the UEFA tournament on 15th February 2022 on SonyLIV.
