  The curse of the Champions League hit Manchester City again on Thursday with the Premier League leaders handed the toughest draw of English clubs.
  
  City, who have never gone past the last 16, will have their work cut to do so this season from a group containing last season's runners up Juventus, Europa League winners Sevilla and solid German side Borussia Monchengladbach.
  
  Manuel Pellegrini's expensively-assembled side are the stand-out performers at the start of the Premier League season, however, and there will be great upset at the Etihad if they don't at least reach the knockout stages, where they have twice lost to Barcelona.

  CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP STAGE DRAW IN FULL
  
  
  Group A - PSG, Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Malmo
  
  Group B - PSV Eindhoven, Manchester United, CSKA Moscow, Wolfsburg
  
  Group C - Benfica, Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray, Astana
  
  Group D - Juventus, Manchester City, Sevilla, Borussia Monchengladbach
  
  
  Group E - Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Roma, BATE Borisov
  
  Group F - Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Olympiacos, Dinamo Zagreb
  
  Group G - Chelsea, Porto, Dynamo Kiev, Maccabi Tel-Aviv
  
  Group H - Zenit, Valencia, Lyon, Gent
  
  City's head of football administration Brian Marwood - representing the club at the draw in Monaco - said: 'It's a little bit different this time. We didn't get Barcelona and we didn't get Bayern Munich — let's hope we get them further in the competition, that means we've progressed.
  
  'We always seem to draw very difficult groups, but it is what it is. I'm sure it could have been tougher. But clubs will be looking at us and seeing the talent we have, and you'd like to think they are not happy about drawing us.'
  
  City have never scored more than once in their three meetings with Juventus, and will come up against transfer target Paul Pogba, providing he remains in Turin.

  Manchester United reached the group stages with play-off victory over Club Bruges and will face PSV Eindhoven.
  
  It will be an early return to the Dutch club for United summer signing Memphis Depay, who tweeted: 'Well well PSV, guess we'll see each other soon.'
  
  Louis van Gaal's men overcame the Belgian side 7-1 on aggregate in their play-off and have aslo been rewarded with games against CSKA Moscow and Wolfsburg.

  United, who are making their return to the Champions League after a season out of the competition, are undefeated in two games against CSKA and beat Wolfsburg twice when they last met in the 2009-10 group stage.
  
  Arsenal also have a difficult group which includes old foes Bayern Munich who have dumped the Gunners out of the tournament twice in the last three seasons.
  
  There will be a lot of attention around their games with Greek side Olympiacos, who are mired in match-fixing allegations as serious as those that saw Turkish club Fenerbahce thrown out of the tournament in 2011.
  
  Olympiacos owner Vangelis Marinakis - on bail accused of match-fixing allegations - told the English media: 'Why don't you write about sport? All you write about is bulls**t.'
  
  The Gunners, who were knocked out at the last 16 stage by Monaco last season, will also face Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb.
  
  Arsenal secretary David Miles said: 'The draw started ominously when we were drawn in Bayern's group but we can be relatively pleased with how it turned out.'

  Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho will return to Porto, who he led to an unlikely Champions League title in 2004. But their Group G doesn't look too troublesome, also facing Dynamo Kiev and Maccabi Tel-Aviv.
  
  The Premier League champions have never failed to scored in six previous meetings with Porto, although Mourinho has won neither of his two trips to his old club.
  
  Chelsea's global ambassador Carlo Cudicini said: 'Porto are a club that does good deals in (the) transfer market. But they keep replacing them with good players and end up in the Champions League every season. It's not an easy draw at all.'
