Anderlecht plays in the group stage of the Uefa Champions League in group D. They have to deal with Arsenal (England), Borussia Dortmund (Germany) and Galatasaray (Turkey).


Arsenal is a club from London. Since the year 2000 they always qualified for the next round of the Champions League. The Gunners even reached the final in 2006. They are for sure the favourite to qualify.

Dortmund is competing in Germany with Bayern Munich to claim the title of best club of the country. The club reached the final of the Champions League two years ago. Last year they were eliminated by the later winner, Real Madrid.

Galatasary is a Turkish club with big ambitions: they want to become one of the best ten clubs in Europe. At the moment, they rank number 35. They are owned by a billionaire who lives in Belgium. The last few years, the Turkish football is slowly recovering from a range of scandals, and Galatasaray is an exponent of this recovery.
