Alexander-Arnold faces prospect of return to Anfield with Madrid

The right-back will face his old teammates months after his controversial move to the Bernabéu, which drew vocal disapproval from sections of the Liverpool support.

It was one of several high-profile reunions produced in a league phase draw that also pits Kevin De Bruyne, now with Napoli, against Manchester City. The Napoli manager, Antonio Conte, will also meet his former club Chelsea.

Arsenal will prime themselves for the latest appearance of Harry Kane, a long-time nemesis while at Spurs, in Bayern Munich colours at the Emirates.

The sprawling draw, which paired each of the 36 contenders with eight opponents, offered England's six representatives a mixed bag. Liverpool will also host Real's city neighbours, Atlético, as well as softer-looking tasks against PSV Eindhoven and the Azeri champions, Qarabag. They will travel to Inter, Eintracht Frankfurt, Marseille and Galatasaray.
