The Champions League unveiled its new formula this Thursday. While the knockout phase system should not change too much, the groups no longer exist. From now on, there will be only one regular season phase where the 36 teams will be ranked from first to 36th place after eight matches. With this new deal, the French clubs learned which teams they would face during this regular season. Inevitably, with even more experienced teams, PSG, LOSC, Monaco and Brest were not spared by the draw.
The capital club is surely the least spoiled French representative of this edition. Facing several big names like Manchester City, Bayern Munich or Atlético de Madrid, the Parisian club will also play against dangerous teams such as PSV or Girona. It is also against the Catalans that the Parisians will open the show on Wednesday, September 18 at the Parc des Princes at 9 p.m. While they will travel to Arsenal on the second day, Luis Enrique’s men will play against Atlético on November 6 on the fourth day before playing Bayern at the end of November. The match against City will take place at the beginning of January at the Parc for the seventh day.
Real Madrid will go to Brest for the last day
For its part, AS Monaco will start immediately with a tough match, hosting Barça for the first day. The Monegasques will then travel to Zagreb to face Dinamo before playing Red Star Belgrade and Bologna. Despite this rather easy start, the AS Monaco club will end with a tough match, with a Benfica-Arsenal-Aston Villa-Inter Milan series that will make more than one person pale. Brest will also end with a tough match, hosting Real Madrid at Roudourou at the end of January for the 8th day. The Ty-Zefs will also start in the Guingamp den, hosting Sturm Graz. After Salzburg, Bayer Leverkusen will be on the road to Eric Roy’s flock, who will end this first half with a trip to Prague to face Sparta.
Then, the Bretons will finish with Barça, PSV, Shakhtar and therefore the Merengues. Finally, LOSC also discovered the order of the teams faced this year in the Champions League. Not spared by the draw, the Dogues will start with a trip to Lisbon to rub shoulders with Sporting. Then, the reception of Real Madrid before going to the Iberian capital to face Atlético. And after a double clash against Italian teams with Juventus Turin and Bologna, LOSC will host Sturm Graz. Finally, Lille will end on an Arne Slot-ian note with a trip to Liverpool then the reception of Feyenoord, the former team coached by the current coach of the Reds.
