UEFA Champions League 2018-19: Group-wise analysis and predicted standings

Group G: A new era for Real Madrid

Julen Lopetegui will be tested well in this group stage

CSKA Moscow - Real Madrid - AS Roma - Viktoria Plzen

The Real Madrid and AS Roma UCL romance returns for another instalment, this time sans Cristiano Ronaldo.

This is the right chance for Madrid to show that they have gotten over the loss of their talisman Cristiano Rnaldo. Though Plzen looks like an easy tie, an away trip to Moscow is never easy and Roma lies in wait as well for them.

Predicted Standings:

1. Real Madrid
2. AS Roma
3. CSKA Moscow
4. Viktoria Plzen.
