Monaco draws Young Boys in CL qualifiers

MONACO, a Champions League quarterfinalist last season, has been paired with Switzerland’s Young Boys in the third qualifying round of this season’s competition.

Shakhtar Donetsk also must travel in the first leg to face Fenerbahce, which returns to UEFA competitions after a two-year ban for match-fixing. Ajax is away first against Rapid Vienna, and CSKA Moscow hosts Sparta Prague. Panathinaikos was drawn at home to Bruges, though could yet go directly to the group stage. Greek champion Olympiakos is implicated in an ongoing criminal match-fixing investigation and could be expelled. In a separate draw for national champions, Basel, which reached the last 16 last season, is away first against Lech Poznan or Sarajevo. First-leg matches will be played on July 28-29. Return matches are on August 4-5. Winners advance to the playoff round.
