The draw for this year’s Champions League was held today in Istanbul, Turkey, where the final will be held on 10 June 2023 at Istanbul’s Ataturk Olympic Stadium. As usual, some clubs had a tough draw, while others had a bit of luck. In this year’s competition, the group of ‘death’ is certainly group C, where Bayern will face Barcelona, Inter and Viktoria Plzen. Italian clubs had a bad draw generally speaking since Juventus were drawn with PSG and Benfica, Milan with Chelsea and Napoli with Liverpool.0 – Inter are unbeaten against Bayern München in games played away from home in European competitions, thanks to a draw and three wins, including the 2009/2010 Champions League final, played in Madrid.
