Man City get tricky Champions League group vs. Juventus; relief for United



Manchester City have been handed a tough Champions League Group stage draw against Juventus, Sevilla and Borussia Monchengladbach.
Holders Barcelona, meanwhile, are in Group E alongside Roma, who finished second in Serie A last season, Bayer Leverkusen and BATE Borisov in Group E.

Manchester United's return to the competition under manager Louis van Gaal sees them take on Bundesliga runners-up Wolfsburg and Eredivisie champions PSV Eindhoven in Group B.
Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich will face Arsene Wenger's Arsenal in Group F while Real Madrid have been drawn against Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.
