The five Red Devils to watch in the group stage of the Champions League The group stage of the Champions League begins without Thibaut Courtois and Kevin De Bruyne, injured, and without Romelu Lukaku, qualified for the Europa League with Roma. Therefore, it is up to other Red Devils to take up the mantle and leave their mark in the most prestigious European competition and there are at least five of them who have everything in their hands to achieve this. Focus on these Belgian players who could enchant your European evenings at the end of the year.
Lois Openda (Leipzig)
After shining with Vitesse and Lens, Loïs Openda took charge of Leipzig to “turn the corner” and with the ambition of shining in the Champions League. He debuted in Germany, scoring three goals in four league games, and now hopes to take a step forward on the European scene. And Leipzig is clearly a candidate for a ticket to the round of 16. Because if Manchester City is the ogre of Group G, the Germans are candidates for second place in a group that also includes Red Star and Young Boys, who will host Openda and his teammates in the opening match on Tuesday evening.

Jeremy Doku (Manchester City)
Manchester City puts its title at stake again: after finally lifting the Copa de las Orejas, Pep Guardiola and his men aspire to the double. And if Kevin De Bruyne is on the sidelines, another Belgian could make Sky Blues fans dream of the Champions League: Jérémy Doku, who integrated very quickly into Manchester and who has just scored a very nice first goal for City . Three years after discovering the C1 with Rennes, can the young Belgian winger tame it? The answer begins on Tuesday night at the Ethiad Stadium, where City host Red Star.

Johan Bakayoko (PSV)
They courted him this summer, but he decided to stay in Holland. Because he dreams of the title with PSV and because he wants to prove his worth in the Champions League. Johan Bakayoko was also one of the great architects of the Eindhoven club’s qualification for the group stage, with four assists in four qualifying matches. Now he must confirm himself in the group stage in a complicated group with Arsenal, Sevilla FC and RC Lens. The task will not be easy for Johan Bakayoko and his teammates, but the round of 16 does not seem unattainable.
Dodi Lukebakio (FC Sevilla)
The round of 16 will also be Sevilla FC’s goal in this group B with a Belgian accent. A Sevilla FC that has just joined Dodi Lukebakio, who also scored his first goal last weekend. Will the Red Devil manage to shine in the Champions League? The former Malva has already tasted the joys of C1 (with Wolfsburg) without being able to stand out (6 games, 0 goals, 0 assists), but he has taken a step forward since then and seems ready to shine in the big tournaments. European scene.

Leandro Trossard (Arsenal)
And it is also in group B where Leandro Trossard will play. With Arsenal, which has not participated in the Champions League for seven years, but will continue to be the great favorite of the group. And the Red Devil will certainly have a role to play in allowing the Gunners to get through to the first round. Trossard, however, has not been the undisputed starter since the start of the season, but he is usually decisive. It was he who delivered for Arsenal on Sunday against Everton. Can he do as well in a competition he will discover this season?
