UEFA have announced their schedule for the 2022-23 Champions League, giving Serie A sides Milan, Inter, Napoli and Juventus the dates of their group stage clashes.
Due to the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, the usual Champions League schedule has changed. Usually the tournament begins in mid-September and runs until the beginning of December, but things have been brought forward to accommodate the mid-season break. Europe’s premier club competition will kick off a week earlier and the group stages will draw to a close by November.
Napoli have been drawn into Group A, where they’ll find Ajax, Liverpool and Rangers. Inter are part of Group C alongside Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Viktoria Plzen. Milan find themselves in Group E alongside Chelsea, RB Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb, whilst Juventus were allocated to Group H with Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica and Maccabi Haifa.
