Champions League draw: Manchester City to face Shakhtar Donetsk, Lyon and 1899 Hoffenheim in Group F

Report on the full Champions League draw

Manchester City have been drawn alongside Shakhtar Donetsk, Lyon and 1899 Hoffenheim in Group F for this season’s Champions League campaign.

Pep Guardiola's side reached the semi-finals of last season's competition where they lost to Premier League rivals Liverpool across two legs.

This will be City's seventh consecutive season appearing in the Champions League, the longest run of any current English club.

After storming to Premier League success earlier this year, breaking numerous records along the way, City are among the favourites to lift the title in Madrid next year.

City play their first group game on 18 or 19 September, with clubs playing the last of their six matches on 11 or 12 December.

The knockout rounds begin in February, with final taking place at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano on 1 June, 2019.
