The Champions League returns Tuesday, Sept. 16 as the 36-team league phase gets underway.
European powerhouses like Real Madrid, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal are in action to begin the campaign as predictions have been coming in. Among those to make a bold claim was David Beckham.
The Inter Miami president and co-owner picked a Premier League side to surprise in the tournament despite one notable summer outgoing.
“The surprise would have to be, you know what, I think people are already writing Newcastle off. I think Newcastle are a good team, I think they have got some good players and they are very together as a team, as fans and as a club and I think they could surprise a few people,” Beckham said on a CBS Champions League preview show.
