Olympique de Marseille know their opponent for the 3rd preliminary round of the Champions League after the draw made this Monday, July 24 in Nyon.
It will be Dnipro or Panathiniaikos for Olympique de Marseille. At the end of the draw for the 3rd preliminary round of the Champions League carried out in Nyon this Monday, July 24, Marseille, seeded in this draw, inherited the Ukrainians or the Greeks. A delicate draw for the Olympians with the constraint of a long journey. If the first leg will take place on August 8 or 9 and the second leg a week later, it will only be the first step for Marcelino’s men who will have to go through a play-off before entering the group stage of the Champions League.
The “League Way” Draw:
In 2024, the Champions League will once again be eagerly awaited by all European clubs who all hope to lift the trophy. As a reminder, the competition will welcome 4 additional teams, and will take place in the form of a championship (final ranking from 1 to 36, therefore), but each team will meet “only” 8 opponents, with 4 matches played at home and 4 outside. In detail, at the end of the first phase, a ranking from 1 to 36 will be made. Teams ranked 1-8 advance directly to the Round of 16 while teams ranked 9-24 compete in a round of 16 (play-off) to reach a total of 16 teams.
Here are the details of all the draws of the year in the Champions League:
