Which clubs are paired in the Champions League draw?

To ensure that paired clubs from the same country play on separate days, the eight groups will be distinguished by colour: Groups A to D will be red and Groups E to H will be blue. When a paired club is drawn, for example, in one of the red groups (A, B, C or D), the other paired club – once it has been drawn – will automatically be assigned to one of the four blue groups (E, F, G or H). The pairings are as follows:

• A – Real Madrid & Barcelona
• B – Frankfurt & Leipzig
• C  – Man City & Liverpool
• D – AC Milan & Napoli
• E – Bayern & Dortmund
• F – Paris & Marseille
