That's the end of our coverage for the Champions League draw. A reminder of who Arsenal will face: PSG (H), Inter (A), Shakhtar (H), Atalanta (A), Dinamo Zagreb (H), Sporting Lisbon (A), Monaco (H), Girona (A).

The home games see PSG, Shakhtar Donetsk, Dinamo Zagreb and Monaco travel to Emirates Stadium.

As for the away trips- Milan and the San Siro, Bergamo in Northern Italy for Atalanta, the Portuguese capital Lisbon and Catalonia for Girona.

That is that for Arsenal, then. Nothing terrifying, I wouldn't think, with some of the big guns avoided.

Arsenal: PSG (H), Inter (A), Shakhtar (H), Atalanta (A), Dinamo Zagreb (H), Sporting Lisbon (A), Monaco (H), Girona (A).

Arsenal...

Atalanta won the Europa League last season, beating German invincibles Bayer Leverkusen in the final.

Arsenal will travel to Bergamo to play Atalanta.

Big fan of one of the club representatives taking a picture of the draw each time it comes out, to make sure he remembers the fixtures or something.

Some proper drum and bass in the background of this video too, to get everyone excited.

Now the Pot Two teams are introduced, including Arsenal.

So far then: Inter Milan (A), PSG (H) for Arsenal.

Arsenal will host Paris Saint Germain.

No further fixtures involving Arsenal since as a load more games are drawn.

A trip to the San Siro in Milan then, how about that.

Sorry, away!

Arsenal will play Inter Milan at home.

Manchester City's fixtures are drawn out first- they will play PSG and Juventus as part of their eight matches.

Here we go then!

Real are the holders after they beat Dortmund in last season's final.

Pot One: Real Madrid, Man City, Bayern Munich, PSG, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Barcelona

I feel like I'm back in school. UEFA have managed to make this 'explainer' incredibly complicated and they've lost me. Almost time for the draw though!

Now we have another explainer about how the draw works, if the film wasn't good enough.

Bratislava are in the competition for the very first time. Could be a fun away day in the Slovakian capital, from what I've heard.

He's the spitting image of Claudio Ranieri.

The video is finished! "Who knew footballers could be such good actors?" is asked by one of the presenters. Vinnie Jones would like a word. Here comes the UEFA General Secretary to help out.

I turned over a minute to check the cricket scores and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is now in this film with an orchestra playing the UCL anthem. I can see why Gooner Fanzine editor Layth asked me to do the job of reporting on this tedious process!

Oh, now it's a cheesy video explainer about the new format. Could have just read my live blog?

Right then, the awards are finished. Here comes the draw! (Hopefully).

15 minutes in now and we haven't got any closer to a draw. It's a Ronaldo love-in!

Ceferin and Reshmin Chowdhury both tell CR7 that they would like him to come back and play in the Champions League again. He insists that he still plays in one, the Asian Champions League. A tiny bit awkward.

He'll pick up an award for that accolade too and some nice words from Ceferin.

Cristiano Ronaldo is introduced, the competition's leading goalscorer of all time.

If you're just joining the live blog, you haven't missed anything. We continue to wait for the draw.

Gianluigi Buffon wins a President's Award. No idea what for but he's given himself a big round of applause. What a career the Italian had.

"More competitive matches between Europe's top teams" is the official line on the switch to the league phase. Now where did we hear that before? Here comes Aleksander Ceferin for some awards.

The singing is done and some presenters are here with the usual chit-chat.

The draw is underway- well it's a montage of something or other with the Champions League music in the background. In fact, someone is singing it. What a treat.

Teams who finish in the top eight of the league phase will qualify for the Round of 16, with the remaining clubs who place ninth to 24th will compete in a two-legged play-off for the chance to also reach the knockout rounds.

For fans of the Champions League group stage, you can enjoy one more season of it in the Women's competition this season, in which Arsenal begin their qualification journey next week! I'll have live coverage from Meadow Park on Wednesday and then Sunday.

This season's final will be hosted at the fantastic Allianz Arena, home of Bayern Munich, where Arsenal's UCL dreams were ended in last season's quarter-finals.

The draw is scheduled to get underway at 5pm UK time, but I'm sure UEFA will have plenty of means of delaying it as ever... European football's governing body will be using computer software to conduct the draw, so let's see if that at least speeds up the process.

No team will not be able to play another side from their own country, meaning Arsenal will avoid compatriots Manchester City, Liverpool and Aston Villa in the league phase.

Say goodbye to the group stage, and familiarise yourself with the new 36-team league phase. Arsenal will play eight games, four at home and four away, against eight different clubs.

Welcome to coverage of the UEFA Champions League draw, as Arsenal await their eight opponents in the league phase of the most prestigious tournament in club football.
