Champions League draw LIVE as Man City discover opponents for revamped group stage

Hello and welcome to our Champions League draw coverage. The Manchester Evening News have you covered at every step as Manchester City prepare to discover their opponents in Europe this season.

Excitement is building ahead of the draw - which will be conducted in Monte Carlo (Monaco) - as there have been several extreme changes made. City are among 36 teams who will take part in the first phase.

However, unlike in previous campaigns, they will compete in one league phase rather than four-team groups. City will find out who they will play in eight first round fixtures from 5pm tonight.

The exact details of those games will be confirmed in due course. City won the marquee European competition in 2023 as part of a historic treble-winning season, which also saw them pick up Premier League and FA Cup trophies.

City are included in Pot 1 for the draw. Each of the four pots include four already-qualified teams.
