Barcelona and Apoel Nicosia are playing on the UEFA Champions League schedule on Wednesday and the first leg group match is from Camp Nou starting up at 2:45 pm ET as Lionel Messi and his Spanish side try to get things started on the right foot in the UCL.

Man City and Bayern also will be playing,ands Franck Ribery is out and winger Arjen Robben could also miss the match and those are big losses potentially for Munich as they take on a strong Man City side. The team was one of the highest scoring the EPL last year and now Man City and Bayern have Roma and CSKA Moscow as their group opponents. Vincent Kompany said his team will be ready for the challenge and this comes after the two sides played in the last 16 last year and Munich knocked out Man City. The Citizens finished second in their group to the team and now they will try and get off to a good start on the road.

Manchester City comes in after pulling a draw with Arsenal in their last Premier League game, while they have a tough schedule coming up after Bayern. The team plays against Chelsea next at home and then has Hull City before another Champions League match with Roma next week. The team will play Moscow next month and they also have EPL games against Tottenham and Aston Villa.
