Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will face each other in the Champions League group stage for the first time as Manchester United face PSG in the draw, which took place in Geneva on Thursday.
Messi’s Barcelona was drawn from the pot of second-seeded teams Thursday into the group where Ronaldo’s Juventus team was already placed as a top seed.
They did meet in the 2009 final when Messi scored as Barcelona beat Ronaldo and Manchester United 2-0.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s return to the Champions League has been marked with a draw against last year’s Champions League finalists PSG in Group H.
