The group stage of the premier class will be drawn on Thursday evening (6 p.m.) – Red Bull Salzburg will be there!
In the Turkish metropolis, the annual highlight for the start of the strongest league in the world rises in the evening. As part of the group draw (4 teams in 8 groups), the focus is not only on Salzburg but also on Paris St. Germain.
The new star ensemble around Lionel Messi, Neymar and Co. threatens a real hammer lot due to the missed championship title in the preseason. Paris is in pot two and could therefore hit Bayern, Chelsea or Manchester City.
With the leap into the group stage, Salzburg is placed in pot 3. The bulls could thus meet great clubs like Real Madrid, FC Barcelona or Paris St. Germain. Bayern or Manchester City from Pot 1 could also be drawn.
