Relive Mail Sport's live blog of the Champions League draw as Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Aston Villa learn their next opponents.

Blockbuster showdown in Manchester

It was a cracking one though as we learned that Manchester City will reignite their rivalry with reigning champions Real Madrid in the play-offs.

I mean, it has the potential to be the tie of the tournament and we have not even reached the knockout stages yet.
