Barça were in Pot 2 and were almost guaranteed a brutal opponent from Pot 1, and they get the German champions and 2020 European Cup winners. Bayern beat Barça 8-2 in the quarterfinals that season, so it will be fun reliving that again.
The other two opponents are easier on paper but will be very tough in reality: Benfica have a good squad and are always strong at home, and playing in Kiev is never easy no matter how good the Dynamo team is — or isn’t.
The full draw is below, and there are some truly tasty games to look forward to in what promises to be a great group stage.
Group A: Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, RB Leipzig, Club Brugge
Group B: Atlético Madrid, Liverpool, FC Porto, AC Milan
Group C: Sporting Lisbon, Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, Besiktas
Group D: Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Sheriff Tilaspor
Group E: Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Benfica, Dynamo Kiev
Group F: Villarreal, Manchester United, Atalanta, Young Boys
Group G: LOSC Lille, Sevilla, Salzburg, Wolfsburg
Group H: Chelsea, Juventus, Zenit, Malmo
