Last season’s runner-up, Liverpool will face Dutch champions, Ajax and Italian side, Napoli and Rangers in Group A. This also another tough draw as the first three teams are capable of qualifying from the group.

Defending champions, Real Madrid have been handed an easy draw in Group F. They will face German side, Leipzig, Shakhtar Donestsk and Celtic.
