UCL draw: Osimhen’s Bernabeu dream, Chukwueze’s dread and fun Onana-Neuer battle

It will be the first meeting between both sides since the Bavarians knocked out Manchester United in the 2013/14 season as revenge for the Red Devils’ triumph in the 1999 UCL final.
In another exciting fixture in the opening round of matches, the Champions League’s group of death will serve up a potential cracker as Paris Saint-Germain kick-off their campaign at home against Borussia Dortmund.

The Gunners will travel to Seville for the first leg on the 24th of October before playing the return leg in London two weeks later on the 8th of November.
Other interesting back-to-back fixtures include the meetings between PSG and AC Milan as well as Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund, both in Group F.
