It all kicks off again on September 18
The draw was kind enough to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal but Manchester City find themselves in another group of death...
Manchester City have been dealt another tough Champions League assignment following today's draw.
The Premier League champions failed to qualify from their group last season and it could be another struggle for Roberto Mancini's men - they must play a trio of fellow league champions in the shape of Real Madrid, Ajax and Borussia Dortmund.
City have moved out from around 9.08/1 to 11.010/1 to win Europe's premier club competition with big rivals United going in the opposite direction. Sir Alex Ferguson's men trade at 8.88/1 after being drawn alongside Braga, Galatasaray and Cluj.
Barcelona, who must play Benfica, Spartak Moscow and Celtic, are the market leaders at 3.814/5 with Madrid close behind at 5.59/2.
The other English teams will expect to make the latter stages of the competition.
Defending champions Chelsea have to tackle Shakhtar, Juventus and new boys FC Nordsjaelland.
Arsenal will fancy their chances of getting out of a group containing Schalke, Olympiakos and Montpellier. The Gunners are 23.022/1 to win their first Champions League.
Last season's losing finalists Bayern Munich face Valencia, Lille and BATE Borisov. The German giants are 14.013/1 fifth favourites to win the competition.
The first group fixtures take place on September 18.
