Chelsea Champions League draw confirmed as Blues discover group stage opponents

Chelsea have discovered the start of their route to reach the Champions League final in Istanbul next June. The Blues have been drawn in Group E alongside AC Milan, FC Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb.

Thomas Tuchel's men were in Pot 2 so could not be drawn against Barcelona, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and RB Leipzig in addition to Premier League teams Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham in the draw. Nevertheless the prospect of some difficult ties awaited with the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and PSG in Pot 1 and Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Napoli in Pot 3.

Thomas Tuchel's side will quickly find themselves against some familiar faces with Fikayo Tomori and Olivier Giroud both plying their trade at the San Siro. Tiemoue Bakayoko is also currently halfway through his loan with the Italian side.
