Defending champions, Real Madrid will face Liverpool away and host Borussia Dortmund in a repeat of last season’s final in the league stage of the new-look Champions League’s draw.
At Monte Carlo, France, the revamped 36-team competition threw up a showdown between City and Inter, the side they beat to finally lift the trophy in 2023.
The new format sees all teams forming a single league, with each entrant playing four home games and four away.
Each club was seeded and placed into one of four pots. From there, each team was drawn to face two teams from each pot, with one match at home and one away.
To ensure fairness and diversity, the UEFA’s software decided the opponents for each team and whether they would be playing at home or away.
The software prevented teams from the same country from facing each other, allowing for more diverse match-ups. Furthermore, no team can play more than two clubs from the same country.
Teams that finish in the top eight will automatically qualify for the last 16, while clubs placing ninth to 24th will compete in a two-legged knockout play-off for a chance to advance.
However, teams ranking 25th or lower will be eliminated and will not be entered into the Europa League.
The Champions League will continue to follow its existing format from the last 16 onwards, with the final taking place at a neutral venue, which for this season will be in Munich, Germany.
