    Tom Oakley : Jose Mourinho has to push for champions league with the ability in the squad.

    Mo Hassan:  Real Madrid part of the dominant group in the last 10 years of Champions League with only one final? Man Utd have been in three.

    Ross : Bayern at full strength. I think even Barcelona might struggle to compete with that.

    Eight of the last Champions League finals have involved Bayern Munich, Real Madrid or Barcelona. Who could challenge their dominance?

    Club Brugge coach Michel Preud'homme managed Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini and Standard Liege and here's what he has to say about him...

    Quote Message

    When I returned to my office from the training pitch after the draw I received a text message from Marouane which said: 'Good luck.' I immediately replied with: 'You too, haha.' I always had a good bond with him. After all, he is one of my lads.

    Manchester United v Club Brugge (19:45 BST)

    Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal on BT Sport:  "There is a lot of pressure for us but we have to cope with it. 

    "We need experience and we can't lose the ball unnecessarily. In the last two matches we are too easily losing the ball."

    What does the future have in store for United goalkeeper David De Gea?

    The Spaniard is yet to play this season with manager Louis van Gaal refusing to pick the 24-year-old, who has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid, until after the transfer deadline.

    But De Gea took part in training ahead of Tuesday's clash with Club Brugge along with current No.1 Sergio Romero, Sam Johnstone and Anders Lindegaard.

    He doesn't feature again though.

    Eight of the last Champions League finals have involved Bayern Munich, Real Madrid or Barcelona. Who could challenge their dominance?

    John McEnerney: On their best night Atletico Madrid could challenge those three but they haven't reproduced the form that won them La Liga. All others no chance.

    Steve Neary:Manchester City. The Blues are creating a squad capable of winning the Champions League. Pace and skill across the field.

    It seems as though Bastian Schweinsteiger is getting used to the English 'banter' pretty quickly, as shown by this quote in an interview with German newspaper Bild., external

    Quote Message

    "I eat sauerkraut although I don’t love it, but I can smile about it… It’s as they call the Germans for fun here. The English have a special sense of humour. This I immediately experienced in the dressing room. As I walked with two plates while eating, suddenly a teammate asked me ‘Basti, what time is it?’ – Hoping I would automatically turn my hand to look at my watch. That’s quite entertaining."

    Manchester United v Club Brugge

    The good news for United fans is Club Brugge aren't exactly experts at beating English clubs...

    They are yet to win in 11 games in England - losing nine - and are also winless in six matches against English teams since a 1-0 first-leg success over Chelsea in the 1994/95 UEFA Cup Winners' quarter-finals.

    Make no mistake a win for the Belgians over two legs would be one of the all-time European shocks.

    Our BBC Radio 5 live pundits are talking about those sides that could rival Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the Champions League.

    European football expert Andy Brassell says: "I think Paris St-Germain can do very well. Angel Di Maria, although it did not work out for him at Manchester United, will be a game-changer for PSG."

    Eight of the last Champions League finals have involved Bayern Munich, Real Madrid or Barcelona. Who could challenge their dominance?

    Patrick Purtill: Maybe Man City if their early season form is anything to go by plus more players to come in - think they will do much better this season.

    Logan Clifford: Chelsea are the team that's in prime position to do that but how their form is looking I don't think they'll do it this year. Man Utd won't get past the semi-finals. Man City will flop in the group stage (depending who they get). Arsenal I hope will go far but I can't see more than QF or SF.

    Joey Cunningham-Lennox: Not this year. Nobody looks like they have a strong enough team.

    "Brugge will be organised, but they will sit back and try to get away with not conceding many goals and then maybe at home they will see if they can get a result.

    "I saw them play last week and they're a very slow side, very open and I can't see them troubling Manchester United. They will come here and say 'close ranks'.

    "The United board have given Louis van Gaal a lot of money to play with so they believe in him but I think they're still short of a centre forward and a good centre-half."
