Manchester City will host defending champions Paris Saint-Germain and travel to Spotify Camp Nou to face Barcelona during this year's Champions League league phase.
The difficult draw sees the Citizens pitted against PSG for the second time in three seasons, with the French champions having come from two goals down in 2024-25 to win 4-2 at the Parc des Princes and consign City to the playoff round.
Elsewhere, Enzo Maresca's side were drawn against Portuguese pair Sporting CP (home) and Porto (away) from Pot 2. They have also received two tricky assignments from Pot 3 -- they will host Napoli at the Etihad Stadium and travel to Germany to face RB Leipzig.
Their remaining two fixtures are against AEK Athens at home, and Lens away.
