Tottenham Hotspur and Celtic are set to face stiff competition from European giants in the Champions League group stages as they were the unluckiest of the six British clubs after being drawn in ‘group of death’.
However, Europa League winners Manchester United, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and mega-rich Manchester City will be extremely happy after finding themselves in easy groups.
Spurs will have to lock horns with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and APOEL in a battle to finish at the top of Group H.
And Celtic also have a tough job in hand as they are up against Bayern Munich, Paris-Saint-Germain and Anderlecht in Group B.
Premier League Champions Chelsea will lock horns with Atletico Madrid, Roma and Qarabag in Group C – and it is understood that the Blues will be quite happy as it seems a reasonable draw.
Mourinho’ Man Utd will face face Benfica, Basel and CSKA Moscow in Group A and are expected to top Group A.
While Jurgen Klopp’s Loverpool will have to take on Spartak Moscow, Sevilla and Maribor in Group E.
Pep Guardiola, who is desperate to win the Champions League title this time around, will have have to prepare his Man City side to face Shakhtar Donetsk, Napoli and Feyenoord in Group F.
