Group A: Paris St. Germain vs Malmo - Zlatan Ibrahimovic previously expressed intention to play for his hometown club. Too bad, they will have to face each other this year.
Group B: Manchester United vs PSV Eindhoven - Memphis Depay meets his former team.
Group C: Benfica vs Atletico Madrid, or everything else. This group is dubbed as Group of Death this season.
Group D: Juventus vs Manchestesr City - These are two teams with something to prove after falling short last season.
Group E: Barcelona vs Bayer Leverkusen - Remember when Lionel Messi put on a show against the German club three years ago and scored five goals? Bayer remembers
Group F: Bayern Munchen vs Arsenal - These two are strongest in the pack so expect fireworks when they meet.
Group G: Chelsea vs Porto: It is Jose Mourinho vs the team he won the Champions League. The Portuguese club have a special place in the heart of the Special One. So it will be interesting to see.
Group H: Nothing!! Kidding. People see this as the weakest group but each team are out to prove they can hang out with the big wigs.
