Allegri's side have been pitted against Manchester United, Valencia and Swiss champions Young Boys in Group H, as La Vecchia Signora's poster boy signing Cristiano Ronaldo will return to Old Trafford once more to face his former side.

Juventus will come up against the Red Devils in competitive action for the first time since 2003, when a United team managed by Sir Alex Ferguson ran out comfortable winners, 2-1 and 3-0. Despite the two losses, Juve would eventually reach the final at Old Trafford against AC Milan, where they would eventually lose on penalties.

The former Rossoneri manager took to Twitter to voice his thoughts on the group stage draw that took place in Monaco on Thursday, as he fully acknowledges the challenge that is upon them.

"Challenging group, with teams of absolute value, great tradition and historical stadiums."

Juventus will start their Champions League campaign against Valencia on 19th September at the Mestella, before hosting Young Boys at the Allianz Stadium on 2nd October.
