Barcelona, Tottenham, Inter and PSV will contest the very challenging Group B of the Champions League this year.
North London side Spurs have been given yet another tough draw following their 'Group of Death' last season – pitted against the likes of Real Madrid and Dortmund but managing to finish first in their group.
Catalan giants Barca will be favourites to win the group given their pedigree in the competition, though PSV and Inter - returning to this level for the first time in six years - could very well pull off major upsets.
Goal takes a look at the rundown of the Group B fixtures ahead of the group phase start, as well as what to expect from each team and more.

Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham were written off early last season in the Champions League when they were drawn against perennial winners Real Madrid and Dortmund, but the Argentine surprised the world at large when he guided his team to the top of the table.
They were eventually eliminated in the next round to Juventus, however, and face an equally hard challenge in attempting to progress from a 'Group of Death' that includes several European giants.
Having already lost two of their opening five games in the Premier League, however, Pochettino might be tempted to prioritise winning the Champions League over challenging for the league title.
Barcelona fell short of Champions League expectations last year when they were eliminated at the semi-final stage to Roma due to away goals, and will be eager to challenge for the trophy – last lifting it in 2015.
Inter and PSV pose massive threats to a Spurs side who are relatively inexperienced in competing in the Champions League.
