Inter and Roma begin their Champions League campaign away at Real Madrid and Fenerbahçe, respectively, while Napoli will host Arsenal and Como will meet RB Leipzig at the Stadio Sinigaglia.

UEFA has released the fixture list for the league phase of the Champions League.

Inter will start their Champions League journey away in Madrid. They’ll face José Mourinho’s Real Madrid on September 8 at 21:00 CET, reuniting with the Portuguese coach at the same stadium, the Santiago Bernabéu, where the Nerazzurri and Mou won the Champions League Final in 2010. That was also the last time a Serie A club won the Champions League.
