Champions League draw: Newcastle’s group of death, Man United land epic Bayern Munich tie as holders Man City avoid big guns

Posted by

In the grand old setting of the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco on Thursday evening, the draw for the group stage of the 2023/24 Champions League took place.

Thirty-two teams were placed in four pots, and as always at this point, no team can play a side from their own association.

That ensured that some incredible groups have been put together, perhaps none more so than Group F which consisted of Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and Newcastle United.

With the final being held on June 1, 2024 at the iconic Wembley Stadium, the four English participants will be keen to go all the way.

Holders Manchester City were paired with RB Leipzig, Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) and Young Boys in Group G, with Man United and Arsenal also handed some tricky ties for the upcoming six match days.
