Paris Saint-Germain will face Brest in an all-French clash for a place in the last-16 of the Champions League following a draw for the two-leg play-offs on Friday in the Swiss city of Nyon.

Monaco, the other French club in the play-offs will take on Benfica.

Following the eight games of the group stages, PSG finished in 15th place in the 36-team division. Monaco and Brest completed their campaigns in 17th and 18th respectively.

The draw, which took place at the headquarters of competition organisers Uefa, pitted the 2024 champions Real Madrid against the 2023 winners Manchester City.

Both teams ended outside the top eight places guaranteeing automatic qualification for the the last-16 and they will play each other for the fourth year running in a knockout tie during European club football's most prestigious competition.

"It feels like a derby already," quipped the Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola on Friday at a press conference ahead of his side's Premier League game at Arsenal on Sunday.

"Four years in a row facing Real Madrid. Hopefully we can arrive in the first leg and then at Madrid in the best possible condition."

In other play-off matches, Juventus take on PSV Eindhoven and in another battle between Dutch and Italian outfits, Feyenoord play AC Milan.

Last season's Europa League winners Atalanta will face Club Brugge of Belgium while Celtic will vie with Bayern Munich. Sporting Portugal were drawn against last season's runners-up Borussia Dortmund.
