LDC DRAW. The draw for the 2023 Champions League took place this Thursday, August 25. If PSG will face Juventus and Benfica in particular, OM will be in an affordable group.
The Champions League group stage draw was made in Istanbul, Turkey. Big posters are on the program with the reunion between Barça de Lewandowski and Bayern or even AC Milan against Chelsea.
Among the French clubs, the draw could have been much worse this Thursday, August 25. For PSG, the road to the round of 16 will pass through Italy with Juventus. A great story for Angel Di Maria, who left the capital club at the end of the season and who will return to the Parc des Princes. Christophe Galtier’s men will also face the Portuguese Benfica, but also Maccabi Haifa in a boiling hot stadium.
For Marseille, the draw was rather lenient. Present in hat 4, the worst was to be feared or was hoped for depending on the affinities of the supporters. Finally, no group of death, but an “affordable” group with all the same the Germans of Frankfurt, the English of Tottenham and the Portuguese of Sporting.
