Friday 30 August 2019 06:34, UK
Tottenham have been drawn against five-time winners Bayern Munich in the Champions League group stage.
Spurs, who were beaten in their first ever Champions League final last season, are joined in Group B by Olympiakos and Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade.
Liverpool, the holders after beating Spurs in last season's final, have been drawn to play Napoli in the group stage for the second successive season.
Alongside Jurgen Klopp's side in Group E are Red Bull Salzburg, who won the Austrian Bundesliga last season, and Belgian side Genk.
Chelsea, who return to the Champions League after a one-year absence, have been placed in Group H, alongside 2018/19 semi-finalists - and Dutch champions - Ajax. The Blues will also play Valencia and Lille.
Manchester City are in Group C with Shakhtar Donetsk - who they play in the group stage for the third consecutive campaign - Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb and Italian club Atalanta.
Manchester City's director of football Txiki Begiristain said: "It is important to be ourselves when we play and keep doing things our way. We have to keep fighting and if we do all that, we will be close.
"We have shown we can win trophies and win the Premier League and we just have to be ourselves - in the Champions League, everything has to be perfect because if you have one mistake in the quarter-finals, you are out.
"So, it is important to keep playing the way we believe, keep things tight and keep fighting."
