Champions League draws: AC Milan avoids Juve, Atalanta draws Club Brugge

There will be no Italian derby between Milan and Juventus in the Champions League play-offs, scheduled for Feb. 11-12 (first leg) and Feb. 18-19 (return leg). The Nyon urn, where the draw was held, has reserved two Dutchmen for the Rossoneri and Bianconeri: the former will face Feyenoord, the latter will face PSV Eindhoven.

Finally, as for the Italians, Atalanta avoids Sporting and draws Club Brugge. It should be remembered that La Dea and the Diavolo, as seeded sides, will have the advantage of playing the return match at home, while the Old Lady will start at home and play for qualification on the return leg in the Netherlands.

Finally, among the other pairings stands out above all Real Madrid-Manchester City, who will already face each other in the round of 16 in an incredible inside-out match.
