New-look Champions League draw: Clubs discover their league opponents

The draw for the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League group stage took place on Thursday, with all 36 teams finding out their opponents.

Each team plays eight games in a ‘league phase’, with this year’s men’s tournament undergoing radical changes, including the end of the group stage.

The high-tech draw took place in Monaco, with Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo pressing a key button to send a computer algorithm to decide the fixtures.

Defending champions Real Madrid will face Liverpool among seven other teams, while Manchester City and Arsenal will both face Paris St-Germain in their matches.

The order of the ties will be confirmed on Saturday, after the Europa League and Conference League draws have been made.
