Inter Milan are in Pot One of the Champions League league phase draw.

The Nerazzurri will learn their first eight opponents in the competition today. They are in Pot One along with the likes of PSG, Liverpool, and Manchester City among others.

Today, UEFA will hold the draw for the league phase of the Champions League.

This will be the second season in which the first phase of the competition is a 36-team mini-league, in which each team faces eight other teams.

This as opposed to the group stage consisting of eight groups of four teams.

The new format has meant that each team plays at least eight matches, rather than six. Furthermore, it entails each team facing eight different opponents, rather than three home and away.

Inter Milan In Pot One Ahead Of Champions League Draw

Inter Milan were in the final of last season’s Champions League.

The Nerazzurri faced a shock 5-0 defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain. That saw what had been an impressive knockout stage run come to a screeching halt.

Prior to the knockouts, in which Inter eliminated the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona, the Nerazzurri had won six of their league phase matches.

This season, Inter are in Pot One for the Champions League draw.

Also in this pot are the likes of reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund.
