Defending champions Manchester City have favorable prospects in Group G, while Arsenal finds itself in Group B with less formidable opponents. Real Madrid, the most successful team in the European Cup’s history, will contend with Napoli, Braga, and Union Berlin in Group C.
In addition to the draw, individual awards for the 2022-23 season were presented. Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola was named UEFA Men’s Coach of the Year, and Erling Haaland received the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year award for his prolific scoring. England’s Sarina Wiegman won UEFA Women’s Coach of the Year, and Aitana Bonmatí was honored as UEFA Women’s Player of the Year for her contributions to Barcelona’s double-winning campaign.
