Valencia and Young Boys are also in Group H with United and Juventus.

Three-time defending champions Real Madrid start their quest for a recordextending 14th European title in Group G with Roma, CSKA Moscow and Viktoria Plzen.

Barcelona head a toughlooking Group B with Tottenham, plus former champions PSV Eindhoven and Inter Milan, while three more former European champions Bayern Munich, Benfica and Ajax are together with AEK Athens in Group E. Liverpool, runners-up last season, landed with Paris Saint-germain, Napoli, and Red Star Belgrade in Group C, while English champions Manchester City got a favourable draw in Group F with Shakhtar Donetsk, Lyon and Hoffenheim.

Atletico Madrid, whose Metropolitano stadium hosts the final on 1 June, are grouped with Borussia Dortmund, Monaco and Club Brugge in Group A. Lokomotiv Moscow, seeded in the top pot as Russian champions, face Porto, Schalke and Galatasaray in Group D.
