Champions League The journey to Istanbul began in Istanbul as the draw for the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League group stage took place on Thursday 25 August in the city that will host the final in June 2023.
The 32 clubs that qualified for the group stage (26 automatic qualifiers along with the six teams that earned berths in the qualifying rounds) revealed their fate when their names were drawn from the banks in a dazzling ceremony.
All eight groups are defined and there is a clear candidate for the Group of Death: Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Inter Milan are the big names in Group C, which also includes the Czech Republic’s Viktoria Plzeň.
