The Champions League draw for the 2024-2025 campaign was revealed by UEFA on Thursday evening, as all qualified teams learned their fate.
The UCL has undergone a significant revamp ahead of the 2024-2025 season, adopting a league-like format.
With this new template, the league phase will now be completed at the end of January instead of December, and there will be weeks exclusively dedicated to the Champions League in the football calendar when no other European competitions are played.
Each team will play eight games, four at home and four away.

The Gunners will then host Shakhtar Donetsk on matchday three, before making the trip to Italy for their matchday four encounter against Atalanta.
The remaining four games include two home games against Dinamo Zagreb and Monaco, with two away matches against Sporting Lisbon and Girona.
