Benfica-Fenerbahce in UCL

Two-time European champion Benfica has been drawn against Fenerbahce in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. As runner-up in the Portuguese league last season, Benfica fell into the qualifying rounds because Russia鈥檚 league is now ranked more highly and has three entries. Spartak Moscow, which placed third in Russia last season, was drawn yesterday to play Greece鈥檚 PAOK Thessaloniki or Switzerland鈥檚 Basel, which play their second qualifying round games this week and next. Four-time European champion Ajax Amsterdam must beat Austria鈥檚 Sturm Graz to play Standard Liege of Belgium in the third qualifying round. Also, Celtic or Rosenborg will take on AEK Athens, and Slavia Prague meets Dynamo Kiev. First-leg games are played on August 7-8, and return games are on August 14. Winners advance to the UCL playoff round.
