Liverpool have been drawn with Paris-Saint Germain, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League group stage.
PSG are the reigning Ligue 1 champions and are embarking on a new era under the management of the German Thomas Tuchel. Napoli impressed with their attractive brand of football last season under Maurizio Sarri, finishing second in Serie A behind Juventus. They have won their opening two games under new manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side are one of the favourites to win the tournament after reaching the final in Kiev last season, where they lost to 3-1 to Real Madrid. The club have since strengthened with the summer signings of Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri, and have started the season in impressive form with three wins from their three opening Premier League games.
The first Champions League group stage games take place on 18 and 19 September, with clubs playing the last of their six matches on 11 or 12 December. The knockout rounds begin in February, with the tournament concluding with the final at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano on 1 June 2019.
