in #sports7 years ago

There was no summer break for some teams in Europe as the continent's top competition resumed, and now we're headed to the group stage

With Europe's top leagues having recently kicked off, the Champions League was in the distance as a future challenge for the biggest clubs, but those further down the European football pyramid have been in action since June.

The first qualifying round of the 2017-18 Champions League began less than a month after Real Madrid beat Juventus in the previous campaign's final, and soon enough the big hitters will be back in the competition in the group stage.
