Juve-Sevilla, Napoli-Benfica in CL

Italians get lucky in draw

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Rome, August 26 - Italian champions Juventus were drawn against Sevilla while Serie A runners-up Napoli got Benfica in the draw for the group stage of the Champions League Thursday.
    The other opponents of five-time straight scudetto winners Juve are Lyon and Dinamo Zagreb, while Napoli's other group rivals are Dynamo Kiev and Besiktas, as the Italians avoided Europe's powerhouses.
    The top two in each group go through to the last 16.
    Juve, who lost in the CL final two years ago, have made it a top priority this year after strengthening their squad with Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli and Miralem Pjanic from Roma.
    They are also gunning for a record sixth straight Serie A title.
