On the night of August 31, the 2023-2024 Champions League group stage draw took place in Monaco.

According to the draw results, the big guys all fell into a group that was not too difficult.

In Group A, MU faces Bayern Munich, Copenhagen and Galatasaray.

With their current strength, MU and Bayern are considered to have a good chance of advancing.

The problem for these two teams is probably just to determine the top spot in the group to avoid meeting strong opponents in the round of 16.

The toughest group in this year's European Cup is Group F with the presence of PSG, Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and Newcastle.

Reigning champions Man City are in Group G with RB Leipzig, Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys.

Similarly, championship candidates like Real Madrid and Barcelona also fell into easy groups.

The European Cup 1 is scheduled to kick off on September 20. The six group stage matches will end on December 14.

The matches take place in a round-robin format, with the top two teams advancing to the round of 16. The third-placed teams in each group will play in the Europa League.

Also on the night of August 31, UEFA announced the title of best male player of the year.

Accordingly, striker Erling Haaland surpassed Lionel Messi and Kevin De Bruyne to win this noble title.

In the 2022-2023 season, the Norwegian star was in devastating form, scoring 52 goals in 53 matches in all competitions.

Haaland helped Man City win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
