Which are the biggest Champions League fixtures?

There are five Premier League teams in this season's Champions League draw - Arsenal, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United.
Both Manchester City and Aston Villa will go up against Barcelona as well as current holders Paris Saint-Germain.
The French giants retained the trophy last season, after beating Arsenal on penalties in May's final.
Premier League champions Arsenal will welcome Real Madrid to the Emirates Stadium, and will also face Harry Kane's Bayern Munich side away in Germany.
Manchester United, who are returning to the Champions League after two seasons away, will also face Bayern Munich, while Liverpool have been drawn against Atletico Madrid and 2025 Champions League finalists Inter Milan.
This season's final will be held in Madrid on 5 June 2027.
How does the Champions League work?

There are 36 clubs in the league stage of the Champions League.
Each team plays eight matches in this stage, facing eight different opponents, four at home and four away.
The eight opponents are chosen based on a draw that uses four 'pots'.
Teams are seeded (ranked) into pots using their recent performance in Europe: Pot 1, Pot 2, Pot 3, Pot 4.
Then each club gets drawn to play two opponents from each pot, one at home and one away.
After the eight league matches, the top eight teams in the table go straight to the round of 16 (the first big knockout round).
Teams finishing between 9th and 24th go into a play-off round to try and reach the knockout stages.
Teams ranked 25th to 36th are eliminated from the competition.
