Now the league phase of the upcoming Champions League season has been drawn and, as expected, it is packed with big matches.

For example, Barcelona will face both Manchester City and PSG, while Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich.

Viktor Gyökeres and his Arsenal team were handed something of a nightmare draw. They face big teams like Real Madrid, Napoli, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. They also face Real Betis, Lille, Sabah and Slavia Prague.

The tournament's other blue and yellow attacking star, Alexander Isak, got a more manageable draw with Liverpool, as they face Inter, Atlético Madrid, Porto, Club Brugge, Villarreal, Fenerbahce, Lens and Lask.

The match schedule and order of play will be announced this weekend.
