Follow all the Champions League action



The start of the 2012-13 Uefa Champions League season will once again be greeted with rumblings of La Décima with Real Madrid’s quest for a 10th Champions League title.

The 2012-13 Uefa Champions League season will be broadcast live on SuperSport and in High Definition.

Since that fateful night in Glasgow in 2002, when Zinedine Zidane spectacularly volleyed Real to a ninth title, talk of a tenth, La Décima, gathers steam in the Spanish capital leading up to the start of Europe’s foremost club competition.

Ten years on and it’s no different this time around: Real’s faithful start the new campaign with the belief that this is the year the club reaches double figures.

As the Champions League gets under way this week, first on the agenda for Real, if they are to realise the dream of a tenth title, is to successfully navigate their way out of this season’s group of death - Group D - which is made up of former champions in Ajax Amsterdam and Borussia Dortmund and an emerging superpower in Manchester City.

Jose Mourinho’s men kick off the new campaign with what is set to be an explosive fixture against City in Madrid live on SS2HD and SS3 from 8pm CAT.
