No big surprises here. The last year's champions, Barcelona, are the favourites, followed by the usual suspects: Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Chelsea. It is nice to see Wolfsburg and Valencia among the elite, while Manchester United, although back in the mix this season, will still need to earn their spot in the tournament via qualification play-offs.

The Matchday 1 of the 2015/16 Champions League group stage will be played on September 15th and the tournament final on May 28th at the San Siro Stadium in Milan.

Football is finally back!

Update: Valencia will have to go through the qualification play-offs as well.
