7 players who will face their former clubs in the Champions League group stage

Juventus v SS Lazio - Serie A
Cristiano Ronaldo is set to return to Man United for the second time since leaving them

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United vs Juventus)

Juventus v SS Lazio - Serie A
Cristiano Ronaldo will return to Manchester United in the Champions League

Juventus being drawn in the same group as Manchester United will mean another bitter-sweet experience for the Red Devil fans. Cristiano Ronaldo will be coming home to Old Trafford for the second time since saying goodbye to the club in 2009.

He faced United for the first time back in 2013, playing the most crucial part as Real Madrid trumped his former club to advance to the quarterfinals.

If you might remember, Ronaldo was under the spotlight and an added amount of pressure as he was facing his former club. This year, he faces a different challenge where the opponents remain the same, but his allegiance has changed.

With Juventus set to face Man United twice in the group stages, the eyes will once again be on Cristiano Ronaldo to see if he can repeat history and trounce United with his new club.
