Champions League Draw: PSG to face Barcelona and Man City

NEW: Champions League league phase draw pits PSG against Barcelona and Manchester City, as the Parisians will host Barça and travel to England.

PSG drew Barcelona and Manchester City in the same league phase. The holders don't get an easy autumn, and honestly, good.

The draw happened in Monaco this morning, and here's the room where it went down. PSG host Barça at the Parc des Princes and travel to England to face City, which means two of the biggest nights in European football are already locked in before a ball's been kicked.

And there's more mischief in this draw. José Mourinho gets reunions with his former clubs, Olivier Giroud faces Arsenal, and the trophy everyone's chasing was sat right there on stage, looking very unbothered by all of it.

One more note from the transfer wires, Omar Marmoush is leaving City for Tottenham after a rough season. So when PSG land in Manchester, the Egyptian won't even be there. Paris against Barcelona and City, in the group stage. Someone's European campaign is getting bruised before Christmas.
