Harry Redknapp's reward for the 4-2 triumph over Vitoria Guimaraes is a fixture with the European giants in Group B.

They will also come up against more Portuguese opposition in the form of SC Braga, neighbours of the defeated Guimaraes.

Dutch side Heerenveen and German outfit VfL Wolfsburg complete a tantalising draw for Pompey.

But it will be Milan which will have drawn the biggest cheer among Blues fans with the delicious prospect of Kaka and Co in opposition.

Football chiefs will now meet to thrash out the order of the fixtures and who will have home advantage, the final details likely to be known soon.
