Arsenal have been handed a daunting Champions League league-phase draw, with the Premier League champions set to face 15-time winners Real Madrid and German giants Bayern Munich.
Mikel Arteta’s side, who were beaten by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on penalties in last season’s semi-final, will host Real Madrid at the Emirates Stadium and travel to Munich to face Bayern.
Arsenal will also meet Borussia Dortmund, Real Betis, Lille, Napoli, Azerbaijan champions Sabah and Slavia Prague as they attempt to secure a top-eight finish and automatic qualification for the round of 16.
The draw has also produced a blockbuster clash between reigning champions PSG and Premier League sides Manchester City and Aston Villa.
