The 2018/2019 UEFA Champions League group stage draw was made in Monaco on Thursday, with highlights set to throw Nigerians agog as match-day one draws near.
In one of the more thrilling fixtures of the draw, Juventus will take on Manchester United in a game that should see the city of Lagos especially overrun with fans as they cheer on their teams to victory.
