Liverpool will face Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid in the league phase of this season’s Champions League

The Reds reached the quarter-final of the competition last season, losing to eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain and qualified for the competition once again by virtue of a top five Premier League finish.

Their quest to win a seventh European crown includes a showdown with the reigning champions of Italy, which means a reunion with Curtis Jones who joined Inter in the summer transfer window.

Liverpool will take on the Serie A giants at the San Siro, hoping for a repeat of last season’s 1-0 win in the league phase when Dominik Szoboszlai scored a late penalty.

The other headline fixture is a home clash with Atletico. The sides also met in the league phase last season with Virgil van Dijk scoring a late winner in a five-goal thriller at Anfield.

Andoni Iraola’s side have also been handed favourable home fixtures against Porto, Villarreal and Lens, though face a tough trip to Turkey to face a Fenerbahce side that features many former Premier League players including Romelu Lukaku, N’Golo Kante, Nathan Ake and Ederson.

The exact make-up of each week in terms of kick-off times and match dates will be provided by UEFA.
