Juventus have learned their Champions League schedule, and it contains back-to-back battles against Premier League opposition.
In the new format, each club will play against eight different opponents, four times at home and four away.
All 36 participants will be pitted into one group. The first eight will directly qualify for the Round of 16, while those who finish between 9th and 24th will be involved in a play-off round.
