It is a favourable draw for Arsenal, with first seeds Sevilla only qualifying for the Champions League because they won the Europa League.

Newcastle have faced an even longer wait to return to Europe’s premier competition, having spent 20 years away from the Champions League.

But they have received a horror draw in Group F up against Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and Sandro Tonali’s former team AC Milan.

Manchester United also face a tough group as they go head to head with Copenhagen, Galatasaray and tournament favourites Bayern Munich, which means a quick return to England for Harry Kane.

They will be eager to avoid the disappointment of their 2020-21 Champions League group, when the Red Devils finished third.

Meanwhile defending champions Manchester City have been drawn against RB Leipzig, Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys.

Newcastle have several exciting fixtures to look forward to on their Champions League return but fans feel they have been placed in the group of death.

One said: “Group F is the group of death in the #UCLdraw Newcastle will do well to get out of that ”
