Title holder Paris Saint-Germain to play Man City and Barcelona in Champions League main phase

Paris Saint-Germain will play Manchester City at home and travel to face Barcelona in the Champions League main phase after the 36-team draw on Thursday. PSG, the two-time defending champion, is set for a repeat of recent trips to Barcelona, having won 2-1 in last October’s league phase following its 2017 “Remontada” 6-1 defeat. Aston Villa returns to PSG’s schedule after a Super Cup win, and PSG also heads to new Champions League side Como, coached by Cesc Fabregas. Real Madrid hosts Inter and visits London for Arsenal and Shakhtar games, while Bayern meet Manchester United and play Atletico at the Metropolitano, which hosts next May’s final.
