Champions League Draw: PSG Gets Barcelona and Man City, Arsenal Hosts Real Madrid in Blockbuster League Phase
The Champions League just dealt its defending champion a brutal hand. Two-time holder Paris Saint-Germain will host Manchester City and travel to Barcelona in the league phase, headlining Thursday's 36-team draw that also sent Real Madrid to Arsenal, Bayern Munich to Manchester United, and four teams above the Arctic Circle to play on artificial turf. The eight-game slate kicks off September 8-10, with roughly 2.5 billion euros ($2.9 billion) in prize money on the line.
