Europe's Premier continental cup competition is back as the draw for the 2022/23 Champions League group stage is set to take place in Istanbul.
The Turkish City will host this season's final as 32 teams will be whittled down to two who will go head-to-head at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium on 10 June 2023.
Before that however, the teams will first need to navigate the group stage where they are divided into eight groups of four, with the top two teams qualify for the last sixteen before the quarters, semis and the next summer's showpiece match.
The teams have been divided into pots to determine their seeding in the groups, avoiding facing teams from the same country.
Real Madrid are the current holders following a 1-0 win over Liverpool in last season's final to lift the famous trophy for a record-extending 14th time.
