When is the Champions League draw and who can Barcelona face?

The Champions League draw will take place on Thursday in Istanbul where Ronald Koeman and Barcelona will discover their opponents for the group stages.

The Catalan giants are in Pot 2 which means they could face a big name from Pot 1 which consists of the Champions League winners, Europa League winners and champions from Europe’s top leagues.

Barca can’t draw Europa League winners Villarreal or La Liga champions Atletico Madrid which means it’s one of either Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon, or Lille.
