The Champions League comes around again. AC Milan, a year after returning, will play European football once again after confirming its place the 2022/23 edition. As reigning Italian champions they sit as one of the top seeds, and that's to say in the first of the four pots allocated for the draw. From the urn in Istanbul, the groups and opponents of the next Champions League have been drawn: the Rossoneri, in Group E, will face Chelsea, Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb.
Starting with 32 teams, half of which - the first and second-placed teams from each grouping - will then progress to the Round of 16 when the knockout phase begins. Each team's seeding in the knockout draw will depend on the group standings, which will be decided at the end of six matches in total, between home and away legs. Starting on 6-7 September, it will run until 1-2 November, which is earlier than usual due to the World Cup.
