All three English sides are on the same side of the draw meaning Liverpool could face Aston Villa in the quarter-finals and then Arsenal in the semi-finals.

Any English club hoping to reach the final may meet Real Madrid but they won’t play Barcelona until the final.

Liverpool and PSG last met in the Champions League in the group stage in 2018/19, when PSG won 2-1 at home after Liverpool triumphed 3-2 in England.

In another eye-catching tie, reigning champions Real Madrid will play city rivals Atletico Madrid in a repeat of the finals of 2014 and 2016, both of which were won by Los Blancos.

Bayern Munich will take on German rivals Bayer Leverkusen, while Inter Milan take on Feyenoord, who are fresh from knocking out AC Milan in the play-offs.

Barcelona will face Benfica, who they defeated 5-4 away in Lisbon in the league phase last month, while last season’s beaten finalists Borussia Dortmund will take on French side Lille.
