PSG to face Barcelona, Man City and Villa in Champions League as draw made

UEFA is scheduled to release the complete Champions League fixture schedule on Saturday. Paris St-Germain, the defending champions, were drawn to face Barcelona, Manchester City, and Aston Villa among eight matches in the league phase. PSG, who secured their title by defeating Arsenal on penalties in Budapest in May, will host Barcelona, Roma, Galatasaray, and Slovan Bratislava at home.

They will also travel to England twice to play City and Villa. Luis Enrique, the team's coach, expressed no negative feelings about the Champions League but stated he would watch the draw later, after relaxing and eating. The league's first matches will take place from Sept 8 to Sept 10, with the final games in late January. Last season's runners-up, Arsenal, will host Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Lille, and Sabah.

Manchester United, not in the initial seed group, will play at home against Bayern, Roma, RB Leipzig, and Sabah, along with away fixtures against Atletico, Sporting of Portugal, Villarreal, and Como.
