INTERNATIONAL: While handing out its Player of the Year Awards on Thursday night, UEFA also made the draw for the 2021-22 Champions’ League. Lionel Messi's new club Paris St Germain will face Manchester City in Group A. City are managed by Messi’s former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola. Group A isn’t much easier than any of the other groups, but then this is the league cup for the best clubs in Europe. PSG and Man City are joined by RB Leipzig and Belgium's Club Brugge.

Reigning champions Chelsea find themselves in Group H against Juventus, Zenit St Petersburg and Malmo. Liverpool are in Group B with Spanish champions Atletico Madrid, former winners Porto and AC Milan. Real Madrid are in Group D with Inter Milan, Shakhtar Donetsk and Moldova's Sheriff Tiraspol. Barcelona have been drawn in Group E with Bayern Munich, Benfica and Dynamo Kyiv.

Manchester United will have another meeting with Spain's Villarreal in Group F, which will be a repeat of this year's Europa League final. They’re joined in that group by Atalanta and Young Boys.
