UEFA's rules for the draw will see the 32 qualified teams allocated into eight groups of four teams. Each group will contain a top seed, plus one club each from the second, third and fourth pots.
Each pot is determined by a club's UEFA ranking and the top two in each group will go through to the knock-out phase of the Champions League, and the third-place side to the knock-out phase of the Europa League.
Champions League draw seedings

• Pot one: Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Porto, Inter Milan
• Pot two: Shakhtar Donetsk, Lyon, Villarreal, AC Milan, Valencia, Marseille, CSKA Moscow, Benfica
• Pot three: Zenit St Petersburg, Manchester City, Olympiakos, Ajax, Bayer Leverkusen, Basle, Lille, BATE
• Pot four: Napoli, Genk, Borussia Dortmund, Trabzonspor, Dinamo Zagreb, APOEL, Otelul Galati, Viktoria Pizen


I hope Man City could get Barca and Milan

Looks like there cold be some great matchups. You don't like City, I take it, RK???

I hope my team (Ajax) won't get a draw like last year again, with Real Madrid and AC Milan in it. But it ís possible that we get a group with four past CL winners (Borussia Dortmund from pot four would be needed then), that would be terrible.

For Ajax' sake I recon it would be good if we got Inter from pot 1 (so we couldn't get the best - AC Milan -) out of pot two. I don't really care who else we get from the other pots, every group will be a difficult one for Ajax. Frank de Boer is confident Ajax can reach the knock out matches, with a little luck with the draw, but I think we will end 3th again and give it a shot in the EL. Sad to say, Ajax isn't the Ajax anymore which could contend in the CL.

I remember a funny clip from lat year where I think a few Shakthar guys were sitting on a couch and they got drawn against Barca I think...just the letdown on their faces was hilarious...

Yes, here it is..

[Bluedragon]

Yes, here it is..

HAHAHA awesome. The dude on the far right is just motionless. Doesnt move a muscle haha

[Daveyboy]

Haha yeah I remember that! Shakhtar and Benfica look like the weakest in pot 3, whilst Man City look scary in pot 3! Dortmund and Napoli only good enough for pot 4 - hope to avoid those!

If Dortmund and City get matched together this would be the group from hell.

Hoping for an easy draw for Porto. Would like to see them make it out of the group stages.

I know crazy right. A few years ago someone released the entire draw for the knockout stages about an hour before hand.

Manchester City have the strength of a 1st pot team so this will be real interesting.

[latinrus]

I don't get why Man City went directly to Group A

Was thinking about the same thing

[beeps220]

BATE getting thrown to the Wolves

[latinrus]

I don't get why Man City went directly to Group A

Just got an answer!

My friend said cause between the first 4 groups was only one english club

and in the second 4 groups were already 2 english Arsenal and Chelsea!

That's why City was sent to the first group!

Hope is clear!

[lakerboy]
