Arsenal's bid to go one step further in Europe's premier club competition has produced a daunting set of opponents in the UEFA Champions League league phase, with Real Madrid arriving at the Emirates and a road trip to face Bayern Munich among the highlights, according to ESPN.

The Gunners will also welcome Borussia Dortmund to north London, while Ligue 1 side Lille will make the trip to the Emirates. Arsenal's away fixtures include a visit to Napoli and Real Betis, with Azerbaijani debutants Sabah hosting them and a match against Slavia Prague in Czechia also on the schedule.

It adds up to a stern test for Mikel Arteta's side, who suffered heartbreak last season — eliminated on penalties in the final against Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest.

Man City's reunion tour

Manchester City face a blockbuster home tie against holders Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad, as well as a trip to Barcelona — a reunion for Enzo Maresca's squad with former City midfielder Rodri. Other fixtures for City include home matches against Napoli and Sporting Lisbon, plus away games at Porto, RB Leipzig, and Lens, with AEK Athens rounding out the home schedule.

United back in Europe's elite

Manchester United return to the UEFA Champions League after a period of absence, and their draw is far from straightforward. Bayern Munich will visit Old Trafford, and United will also travel to Atlético Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano. Home games against AS Roma, RB Leipzig, and Sabah are complemented by away trips to Sporting Lisbon, Villarreal, and Como.

Liverpool's tough road

Liverpool face Atlético Madrid at home and will travel to the San Siro to take on Inter Milan in two of the headline fixtures in their group of matches. The Reds also host Porto, Villarreal, and Lens, while away fixtures at Club Brugge, Fenerbahçe, and Austrian side LASK complete their schedule.
