The Champions League — the place desires come true, fantasies turn into actuality and legends are born. Or one thing like that.

Except you’re Dinamo Zagreb, Purple Bull Salzburg, Celtic, Purple Star Belgrade, Slovan Bratislava or Younger Boys, wherein case the Champions League is the place fears prevail, nightmares turn into actuality and careers get ruined.

OK, perhaps not that unhealthy, however followers of the above golf equipment will be forgiven for feeling apprehensive when UEFA’s anthem performs throughout Matchday Three tonight (Tuesday) and tomorrow.

These are groups who’re used to dominating their home leagues, successful 60 per cent or 70 per cent of their league matches 12 months after 12 months (at the same time as excessive as 84 per cent final season for Purple Star) to assert title after title.

Taking the previous seven home seasons, Dinamo, Salzburg, Celtic, Purple Star, Slovan and Younger Boys have gained 38 league titles between them, out of a doable 42. Dinamo have taken each a type of Croatian championships with Purple Star doing the identical in Serbia, and the remainder have gained six of the obtainable seven.

They’re superior of their homelands nearly to the purpose of boredom. And but, from their mixed opening two rounds of Champions League matches this season, the six groups have scored 12 targets between them and conceded a whopping 49. That’s a mixed objective distinction of -37 from 12 matches.

Transferring home bliss to European success shouldn’t be simple, particularly when your finances is a fraction of the spending energy obtainable at Manchester Metropolis, Actual Madrid or Bayern Munich.

In line with switch web site Transfermarkt, Slovan have spent a complete of £2.6million ($3.4m) on new signings previously three seasons and their squad has a complete estimated worth of £24m. The identical supply lists Metropolis as having spent £365m previously three years (which, to be trustworthy, feels fairly frugal for them) and their squad worth is estimated at being a smidgen over £1billion. So, Metropolis have spent roughly 139 instances as a lot as Slovan since 2022, and their squad is price 43 instances as a lot.

When the groups confronted one another three weeks in the past on Matchday Two, Slovan’s odds for successful on house turf have been 40/1. They might have a monopoly on the Slovakian title, however with a finances akin to a membership in League One, Engish soccer’s third tier, they have been predictably no match for Metropolis.

“We dreamt of, in the future, the perfect workforce on this planet, or probably the greatest, coming (right here),” Slovan supervisor Vladimir Weiss advised reporters earlier than the match. The fact, nonetheless, was much less romantic: Metropolis had 28 pictures, scored 4 targets, hit the woodwork 3 times and registered an anticipated targets (xG) determine of three.8. Slovan had 24 per cent possession and didn’t register a shot heading in the right direction.

“Truthfully, this was simply as we anticipated,” Tomas, a Slovan fan who attended the sport, tells The Athletic. “Slovan has not performed within the Champions League for 32 years (having didn’t get previous its qualifying rounds on 11 events), so it’s a massive success to even be there.

“After we beat (Denmark’s champions) Midtjylland to qualify (having acquired via three earlier ties in a marketing campaign that started 4 days earlier than final season had ended with the Euro 2024 ultimate on July 14), it was probably the greatest leads to the previous couple of years and was like a European ultimate for us.

“Then we have been drawn in opposition to Manchester Metropolis, Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid (amongst their eight league-phase video games). These are matches we now have not had for a lot of, a few years, so although we’ll most likely lose, it’s nonetheless an enormous prize. The Celtic defeat (Slovan misplaced 5-1 in Glasgow on Matchday One) was not good, however even a membership like Celtic has rather more cash than us.

“We have now Dinamo (Zagreb) at house (on November 5), a match we will look to attract or win, however largely I would like the eight video games to be a lesson for the gamers and the homeowners, and for us to generate profits from TV and full stadiums to spend on enhancing the workforce.”

There’s a distinct “joyful to be there” vibe from Slovan, however that doesn’t apply to each Champions League ‘minnow’.

Salzburg, who will compete within the revamped Membership World Cup in the US subsequent summer time courtesy of their constant Champions League group-phase qualification in recent times, are adjusting to life below a brand new supervisor in Jurgen Klopp’s long-time Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders, and have been most likely regarded as a little bit of a darkish horse going into the league section.

As a substitute, they have been comfortably crushed 3-0 at Sparta Prague after which surprisingly trounced 4-0 at house to French newcomers Brest. They lie fourth within the early-season Austrian Bundesliga, six factors off leaders Sturm Graz, however have two video games in hand.

“I don’t wish to make excuses, I take full duty,” Lijnders mentioned in a press convention after the Brest defeat. “This group has sufficient high quality that it shouldn’t occur like this. That worries me just a little bit.

“We anticipated a very totally different begin within the Champions League, particularly with the qualification (beating FC Twente, 5-4 on combination, and Dynamo Kyiv, 3-1). I’m sick of individuals calling us a younger workforce. There are not any excuses, we now have sufficient high quality to win soccer matches within the Champions League.”

Younger Boys, whose Swiss Tremendous League is of the same normal to Austria’s Bundesliga, will even have anticipated higher than to be propping up the 32-team Champions League desk after two defeats (3-0 at house to Aston Villa, 5-0 at Barcelona).

Like Salzburg, the Bern membership are enduring home woes, and sacked supervisor Patrick Rahmen, who had solely been appointed in the summertime, every week after the Barcelona thrashing. They’re tenth in a 12-team home league. A go to from Inter Milan, Serie A champions and three-time European Cup/Champions League winners, awaits on Wednesday.

Dinamo additionally allotted with their supervisor after struggling one of many heaviest defeats in Champions League historical past, dropping 9-2 at Bayern final month. Sergej Jakirovic had led Dinamo to a Croatian league and cup double in 2023-24 however the Bayern thrashing was deemed unacceptable and he left two days later by mutual consent.

A 2-2 house draw in opposition to Monaco on Matchday Two, below new boss Nenad Bjelica, prompt the correct resolution had been made. Subsequent up? A go to to Lijnders and Salzburg on Wednesday.

After which you’ve got Celtic. In contrast to a lot of these sides talked about above, the Scottish membership are Champions League regulars and have taken some unimaginable scalps over time, beating Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester United and AC Milan (and again in 1967 they gained the competitors). However each a type of victories has come at Celtic Park the place, backed by probably the most vociferous atmospheres in European soccer, they could be a match for anybody.

Away from house, it’s a special story. This season’s competitors has been Celtic in Europe in a microcosm, thrashing Slovan 5-1 at house after which being humiliated 7-1 by Borussia Dortmund in Germany, the place they conceded 5 earlier than half-time — the primary time a British membership had carried out so in a significant European competitors since 1997-98. It was their thirty first defeat from 37 Champions League group/league-stage away video games — and in these 37, they’ve conceded an almighty 100 targets.

But supervisor Brendan Rodgers was unrepentant in not altering the workforce’s strategy for that Dortmund recreation, regardless of dealing with criticism acquainted from his first spell at Celtic, when his aspect misplaced 7-0 to Barcelona at Camp Nou and 7-1 at Paris Saint-Germain, or 6-0 away to Atletico Madrid in his second spell final season.

“We play in a approach that enables us to dominate domestically,” Rodgers mentioned. “We all know it’s going to be tough at instances for us to do this, however we nonetheless have to point out our potential with the ball. Are we going to take a seat in and camp, and wait? No, we gained’t do this.”

Celtic supporters who’ve paid hundreds of kilos to journey throughout the continent to see their workforce win simply two of 37 Champions League away matches (beating Spartak Moscow in 2012-13 and Belgium’s Anderlecht in 2017-18) might even see issues otherwise. Whereas no one may accuse Celtic followers of not profiting from their journeys overseas, if anybody has attended all 37 video games, they are going to have travelled greater than 70,000 miles, which is nearly 3 times all over the world, to see two victories.

“I’ve not carried out that many, however I’ve by no means seen us win overseas,” Celtic season-ticket holder Alasdair tells The Athletic. “There may be all the time an important environment on the highway and nobody takes it without any consideration that we’re privileged to go to some nice cities and stadiums, but it surely’s fairly demoralising.

“There’s perhaps an unrealistic expectation on the membership that we must be doing higher, however given our assets in comparison with the Premier League and the massive Spanish, German and Italian golf equipment, we’re on a special planet. We’ll discover the brand new format solely skews the imbalance additional.”

We’re working with an extremely small pattern dimension after two rounds however the early leads to the expanded 36-team ‘league section’ do counsel the scales are tipping additional. We have now seen scorelines of 9-2, 7-1, 5-0 and 5-1, plus 4 4-0s. After 36 matches, that is proving to be probably the most goal-heavy editions of the Champions League, with 3.19 per recreation being near the best on report (3.24 in 2019-20).

Thus far, it has been probably the most one-sided Champions League season but, with a mean margin of victory of two.57 targets, comfortably above the subsequent highest of two.37 from the 1993-94 season.

By increasing the competitors, the standard shall be diluted, whereas this larger first stage may lend itself to groups enjoying extra expansively, given the possible want for under 10 or so factors out of your eight matches to succeed in at the least the play-off knockout spherical, the place locations within the last-16 shall be up for grabs.

Because the wealthy get richer and the monetary imbalance throughout Europe will increase, anticipate extra of the identical. And anticipate followers of relative Champions League minnows to dread somewhat than relish their continental adventures.
