Cristiano Ronaldo will play at Old Trafford for the first time since 2013 as Juventus and Manchester United were slotted together in Group H of the UEFA Champions League draw today. Valencia and Young Boys complete the grouping.
Ronaldo has only faced his former team three times since he left the club for Real Madrid in 2009. He has played on the visiting team only once at the Theatre of Dreams since leaving the Red Devils, in a two-legged round-of-16 Champions League tie in 2013.
The other meeting was in last season’s UEFA Super Cup. This will obviously be first match against United in a Juve shirt.
Take a look at the rest of the groupings, and judge for yourself who got the most favorable draw/the toughest group/most scintillating match-ups.
