PARIS -- One is a veteran of nearly 20 years at his club, the other started his new job only months ago. Both share the same goal: delivering European glory with teams lacking a Champions League title.Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger are on opposite trajectories when the Champions League resumes for their teams on Tuesday at the Parc des Princes. It will be Emerys first Champions League game as PSGs coach, while Wenger is starting a 19th consecutive campaign in Europes most prestigious competition.On the Champions League opening day, five-time winners Barcelona hosts Celtic -- a team it inflicted six goals on the last time they played in the group stage -- and Bayern Munich takes on Russian newcomers Rostov.Here is a look at Tuesdays matches:---GROUP AUnlike his former great rival Alex Ferguson, who turned Manchester United into a European powerhouse, Wenger has not tasted Champions League success since he was appointed Arsenals manager 20 years ago. Despite qualifying for the lucrative tournament for an English record 19 consecutive seasons, Arsenal has never won Europes biggest prize, losing to Barcelona in the 2006 final. The Gunners, who have won their last seven Champions League games in France, are looking to get beyond the last 16 for the first time since 2010.Emerys record in the Champions League is quite disappointing compared to what he achieved with Sevilla in the Europa League. Emery, who replaced Laurent Blanc this summer, guided Sevilla to a third consecutive Europa League title last season but led his various teams to just eight Champions League wins in 25 games.Arsenal, a team that has long had a heavy French influence, could be spearheaded by a France international for its trip to Paris with striker Olivier Giroud pushing for his first start of the season.Basel hosts Ludogorets in the groups other game.---GROUP BBenfica and Besiktas meet for the first time in European competition with the group looking wide open. Benfica lost to Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals last season and Besiktas is looking to make it to the knockout round for the first time.Benfica coach Rui Vitoria will likely be without several important players.Jonas, who led Benfica in scoring last season, has been sidelined with a right foot injury since August. Fellow strikers Kostas Mitroglou and Raul Jimenez, along with defender Jardel, all missed practice on Monday morning because of physical problems.Besiktas midfielder Talisca joined the Turkish club on loan last month after playing two seasons with Benfica.Hosting Napoli in the groups other match, Dynamo Kiev has a poor record against Italian sides, having won just twice in 20 matches with Italian opposition. Back in the Champions League after exiting in the group stage two seasons ago, Napoli is attempting to overcome the departure of standout striker Gonzalo Higuain to Juventus. Jose Callejon has been filling in quite nicely, scoring two goals in each of Napolis last two Serie A matches.---GROUP CBarcelona and Manchester City, two of the top candidates for the European Cup, start their respective campaigns against more accessible opponents before their highly anticipated clash in the group stage.Barcelona hosts Celtic, while City welcomes Borussia Moenchengladbach.The good news for Celtic is that, despite its star power, Barcelona is beatable, as seen when recently promoted Alaves pulled off a 2-1 shocker at Camp Nou on Saturday.The bad news is that Barcelona was playing without Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Luis Suarez until the last half hour.Expect all three back in the starting lineup.On Tuesday, we start the Champions League, a short competition that doesnt permit mistakes, Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said. We have our chance to bounce back.After a 5-1 win over fierce rival Rangers on Saturday, Celtic can look back to its win over Barcelona in the 2012 group stage.Pep Guardiola goes into his first Champions League campaign as City manager having won all six of his games in charge.Sergio Aguero should be recalled amid a domestic suspension, while Guardiola could rotate his fullbacks and wingers for a game against a Moenchengladbach team hell know well from his three years in Germany with Bayern Munich.---GROUP DFive-time champion Bayern Munich survived a scare on Friday to maintain coach Carlo Ancelottis perfect start before turning attention to Champions League debutant Rostov.Bayern dug deep with two late goals to overcome Schalke 2-0, taking its tally to 15 goals scored and none conceded in four wins in four games thus far.Were completely on target, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said.Ancelotti was able to call upon substitutes Arturo Vidal, Douglas Costa and rising star Joshua Kimmich to make the difference against Schalke, and his squad is well-equipped for the rigors of Europes premier competition.The Champions League is uncharted territory for Russian runner-up Rostov, which has never before played in the group stage of a UEFA competition.Dmitri Kirichenkos side will be counting on its defense -- Rostov conceded only 20 goals in 30 games last season, a Russian league best -- to keep the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Mueller and Franck Ribery at bay.In the groups other game, 2015 runners-up Atletico Madrid and PSV Eindhoven are no strangers. Atletico needed to a penalty shootout to eliminate PSV from the round of 16 last season after both legs ended in a 0-0 stalemate. Both sides are undefeated this season. Air Jordan 3 Retro Outlet . Newcastle dominated in the early stages but City weathered the storm and then raised its game in extra time. Negredo broke the deadlock from close range after a simple move in the 99th minute before Dzeko took the ball round goalkeeper Tim Krul to seal the victory in the 105th. Cheap Air Jordan 3 Retro . Siddikur, whose previous win on the circuit came in Brunei three years ago, finished his bogey-free round with a birdie on the 18th for a total of 17-under 199. Indias Shiv Chowrasia, who has finished runner-up in this tournament twice, was in second place after a 66. http://www.cheapairjordan3retro.com/ . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. Air Jordan 3 Retro Sale .C. -- Glenn Howard needed an extra end to move into the Masters Grand Slam of Curling final. Blue Air Jordan 3 Retro .ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not.Rory McIlroy bolstered his chances of a first win of 2016 by moving in to a three-stroke lead after a weather-disrupted third day at the Irish Open. Latest leaderboard Irish Open The tournament host, who has missed the cut in his previous three appearances in the event, was two under for the day with three holes to go when play was suspended at 8.45pm.McIlroy was the only player not to post a bogey in tough conditions at the K Club, where there were two lengthy delays during the afternoon due to the threat of lightning. Having followed an opening-round 67 with a two-under 70 on Friday to head in to the weekend just a shot adrift of midway pacesetters Willett and Warren, the world No 3 continued to impress in the Kildare rain.As Warren bogeyed the first after driving in to trees and Willett missed his par-save from three feet at the second, McIlroy briefly took the outright lead in the group behind with a two-putt gain at the fourth. The world No 3 has never finished higher than seventh in nine Irish Open appearances Willett picked up a shot at the same hole to join McIlroy at eight under, only to bogey the sixth and drive in to the water at the next to hand the Northern Irishman a two-stroke advantage.The pair exchanged pars over the next two holes to see Willett reach the turn in 37, while Warren continued his slide down the leaderboard with a run of four consecutive blemishes from the fifth. Willett topped the leaderboard after the oopening round in Ireland Five birdies in an eight-hole stretch around the turn parachuted Rafa Cabrera Bello to within one the lead, only for the Spaniard to run up a double-bogey at 17 shortly before play was suspended at 3.dddddddddddd27pm.When the third round resumed two hours and 20 minutes later, McIlroy immediately completed his two-putt birdie at the 10th to extend his advantage to three strokes.After the pair exchange pars over the next three holes, the siren was sounded again at 6.24pm with McIlroy just off the 14th green, with the world No 3 getting up-and-down to save par when play restarted 90 minutes later. McIlroy was part of the penultimate group with Matthew Southgate Sebastien Gros briefly moved alongside Willett in a tie for second with an eagle-three at the 16th, only to run up a quadruple-bogey at the next on his way to a one-over 73.McIlroy completed just two more holes as more rain fell and the decision was finally taken to abandon play for the day, with Willett three shots behind and Scotlands Russell Knox alongside Richard Sterne another stroke adrift. Cabrera-Bello bogeyed the last to join the group including Gregory Bourdy and Romain Wattel on three under, with Lee Westwoods two-under 70 leaving him a further stroke back.Former winner Shane Lowry carded a one-under 71 to leave him alongside two-time Martin Kaymer and defending champion Soren Kjeldsen on one over, while Graeme McDowell slipped down the leaderboard with a third-round 76.Watch the final round of the Irish Open live on Sunday from 1pm on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf Also See: Irish Open leaderboard Second round highlights Rory relishing Willett battle Golf live on Sky Sports 4 Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' '
