​Liverpool are to meet Napoli in the group for the second year in a row, but will consider their path to the knockout stages a favourable one, with Red Bull Salzburg and Genk.

English champions ​Manchester City have been paired with Shakhtar Donetsk again, as well as Croatia's Dinamo Zagreb and Champions League debutants Atalanta.

Elsewhere, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain will meet in two heavyweight clashes in Group A, but Galatasaray could threaten to make it tricky for either of them.

Group H promises to be a very competitive one, with Chelsea, Ajax, Valencia and Lille, with any in with a chance of qualifying. But this year's 'Group of Death' is arguably F after Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Inter were drawn with Czech minnows Slavia Prague.
