The draw for the league phase of the Champions League was made in Monaco on Thursday evening. Football fans can look forward to some thrilling matches.
Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, for example, will face Bayern Munich, FC Barcelona and Napoli, among others, and thus the champions of three of Europe's top five leagues. Manchester City with Manuel Akanji will face record winners Real Madrid and Gregor Kobel's Borussia Dortmund, among others.
It will also be a very special duel for the Swiss national goalkeeper, as his predecessor in the national team, Yann Sommer, will be playing for BVB with Inter Milan. Dortmund's opponents also include FC Copenhagen, who eliminated the Swiss double winners FC Basel in the play-off. The Danes can also take on FC Barcelona, Napoli and Europa League winners Tottenham.
