The Champions League returns in its current form for the last time in the 2023/24 season. Treble winners and last season’s champions Manchester City are looking to retain their title as Europe’s best team in June after beating Inter Milan 1-0 in Istanbul.
The draw for the group stage of the new season will take place this afternoon in Monaco. 32 teams are divided into eight groups of four. In each group there is one team from each of the four seed pots. Clubs from the same domestic league are not drawn into the same group.
Pot 1 consists of the Champions League winner (City), the Europa League winner (Seville) and six domestic champions from the top-ranked leagues. The remaining pots will be decided based on Uefa’s club coefficient rankings. As for English interest, alongside City, Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle are also in the draw, as is Scottish champions Celtic.
The group stage fixtures will then be released and the competition will run until 1 June 2024 when the final takes place at London’s Wembley Stadium.
