Points to Prove

The greatest club competition on earth returns and the draw has thrown up some interesting match ups, most notably Chelsea's fixtures with champions Barcelona. Both teams feature world beaters, but in Ronaldinho, the European Cup holders will be classed as favourites to win the 'Group of Death'. Wayne Rooney returns to the international spotlight as Man Utd begin their challenge, doubtless aware of a poor track record in recent years. Fergie's men start with the Battle of Britain as they face Celtic at home. Meanwhile, Liverpool's Steven Gerrard looks to build on his club's reputation in Europe. They start with a trip to PSV Eindhoven. Runners-up last time round, Arsenal have to wait until week 2 to hold their first group game at their new stadium, with Porto making the journey.
