“It’s good to be back,” said Uefa’s media chief Pedro Pinto, who gave thanks to the thousands of health workers and others whose efforts allowed Uefa to resume the 2019/20 Champions League competition, albeit in a shortened format.

Club representatives could not be in Nyon for the draw because of Covid-19 restrictions but joined in remotely via video conference.
