: Holders Manchester City and the cream of European football will learn their Champions League fate for this season when the draw for the group stage takes place in Monaco on Thursday from 1600 GMT.
Those six clubs are, like City, the champions of the top ranked European nations, and the format of the draw means many of the teams to avoid will therefore be in the second pot. The fourth Premier League representatives are Newcastle United, who have not appeared in the Champions League in two decades and will be in pot four for the draw.
The first matches in the group stage will take place on September 19 and 20, with this season’s final being held at Wembley in London on June 1, 2024. The Champions League is the pinnacle of club football on the continent and that is reflected in the prize money, with UEFA distributing two billion euros in total to participating clubs.
Teams also receive money based on their own position in UEFA’s club ranking -- this means that Real Madrid get over 36 million euros as the top-ranked side, with the amount dropping progressively so the lowest-ranked team receive only just over one million euros.
