The draw for the league phase of the new Champions League have been conducted.
This year, the competition will begin with a ‘Swiss-style’ league phase rather than the group stage to which fans had become accustomed.
Also, 36 teams will take part rather than the usual 32.
The league phase will finish at the end of January instead of the usual December.
Then the top eight sides will then qualify automatically for the knockout stages, while the teams that finish in ninth to 24th place will be drawn in a two-legged play-off to secure a place in the last 16 of the competition.
Teams ranked 25-36 are eliminated from all competitions.
