BST. Only Premier League champions City are in pot one and that means Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs could tie Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. Meanwhile, City will be looking to avoid Barcelona, Juventus and Atletico Madrid, who are tied for second alongside the English trio. Rangers and Celtic are both in pot four and in danger of being involved in the group of death. SunSport ran a simulated Champions League draw and it didn’t go in favor of Chelsea or Spurs. In Group F, Thomas Tuchel will be joined by former clubs Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund as well as Rangers, who reached the Europa League final last season. The Blues have failed to beat PSG in their last four meetings and the French side have made a blistering start in Ligue 1 this season, scoring 17 goals in three wins from three. Meanwhile, Spurs’ draw could be even worse as they draw champions Real Madrid as well as Napoli and Celtic.
