RE: Champions League Draw



Chelsea face Barcelona test again

Barcelona celebrate scoring at the Nou Camp on 7 March

Spanish giants Barcelona lifted the trophy last season

Chelsea and Champions League holders Barcelona will renew their rivalry after they were drawn together in the first phase of this year's competition.



The two sides, who have now been paired for the third time in three years, also face Werder Bremen and Levski Sofia.



Manchester United will meet Celtic in Group F with Benfica and FC Copenhagen.



Last year's finalists Arsenal take on Porto, CSKA Moscow and Hamburg while Liverpool face PSV Eindhoven, Bordeaux and Galatasaray.



AC Milan, who were found guilty in the probe into match-fixing in Serie A but were re-instated on appeal, are with Lille, AEK Athens and Anderlecht.



One of the toughest groups looks to be Group B, which sees Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Sporting Lisbon and Spartak Moscow.



Chelsea and Barcelona have had acrimonious clashes over the past two seasons - with both teams taking a win each.



The Premiership champions beat Barca 5-4 on aggregate in the first knockout stage in February 2005 but the tie was overshadowed by Blues boss Jose Mourinho claiming Barca counterpart Frank Rijkaard visited referee Anders Frisk's dressing room at half-time of the first leg.



They then clashed again last season with Barcelona going through after securing a 3-2 aggregate victory.



But again there was bad blood after Chelsea accused Lionel Messi of over-reacting to a challenge by Asier del Horno, which led to the Blues full-back being sent off.
