The Champions League is back for another season — here are our experts' thoughts following the group stage draw...

It has to be Group F, of course. But don’t sleep on Group E, with one of the best up-and-coming coaches in Feyenoord’s Arne Slot, Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio, a more attacking-minded Diego Simeone at Atletico and Brendan Rodgers back in the saddle atGroup F, by a mile.

Beyond that, it’s a relatively benign draw for the big guns, who should all qualify with a degree of ease.I’d say PSG.
