Champions League draw

The 2022/23 UEFA Champions League group stage is set to take shape when the draw is held on Thursday, August 25. Real Madrid won the competition last season ...

AC Milan (1st, Italy) 14-22, 2023 In this case, the Netherlands and its reigning Eredivisie champion Ajax were elevated to Pot 1. 23-Inter Milan They will be drawn into eight groups each comprised of four teams. Real Madrid won the competition last season after beating Liverpool 1-0 in the final.

As Premier League champions, Manchester City are in Pot 1 and therefore avoid many of Europe's biggest teams such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and PSG. But ...

Sporting Lisbon from Pot 3 would complete a group that would be the easiest to get out of. Spurs themselves will want Eintracht Frankfurt from Pot 1, but may also fancy a first meeting with Ajax since their dramatic Champions League semi-final against Dutch side in 2019. Celtic earned an automatic spot as domestic champions and Rangers progressed past Union Saint-Gilloise and PSV in the qualifying rounds. Former Tottenham prospect Marcus Edwards now plays for Sporting but is unlikely to cause Antonio Conte's side too many problems if they are pulled out from Pot 3. They also have a point to prove after being knocked out of the Champions League group stages last season. Jurgen Klopp's former charges Dortmund are one to avoid in Pot 3, along with an Inter Milan side who won at Anfield last season. City will fancy their chances against any team in Pot 4, although Marseille are perhaps the most challenging opponent. The Reds have failed to win any of their last seven games against Los Blancos, so will not be too keen on facing them again. A short trip to Lisbon or Leverkusen would suit the Blues fine. As always, the clubs will be split into four pots of eight and one team from each pot will go into groups labelled A to H. Pots 2, 3 and 4 contain the remaining teams, ranked by order of their UEFA ranking. but it's not plain sailing for Man City in Pot 1 either

Pot 4: Marseille, Club Bruges, Celtic, Viktoria Plzen, Maccabi Haifa, Rangers, FC Copenhagen, Dinamo Zagreb or Bodo/Glimt. * Cannot be drawn against in group ...

Matchday 5: October 25/26 Rangers were among the sides to book their place in the draw, seeing off PSV Eindhoven. Matchday 4: October 11/12

European football is more imbalanced and fractured than ever as the giants of the game meet in Istanbul for the group stage draw.

The first is that the court takes a purely political interpretation and judges that a Uefa “monopoly” is justified. The second is the complete opposite, and Uefa is broken up. It is why the Super League’s next step is to try to seduce these mid-tier clubs. It is clubs such as Juve and the Clasico two that bullied Uefa into this position in the first place, always dangling the Super League, only now to point out the flaws in a landscape they shaped more than anyone. A widespread opinion in football’s legal circles is that Uefa displays “poor governance” and a lack of foresight. For all that the governing body has made “populist” arguments about the ills of the Super League amid widespread state backing, the case is solely about whether Uefa represents a monopoly in competition formation. That feeds into a growing dissatisfaction with Aleksander Ceferin from across the game, and that isn’t just from the Super League forces. Is Uefa really fit for purpose if it has allowed so much of football’s wealth to have accumulated in so few areas? That is because of a discussion that is now beyond old-fashioned, which is that the competition’s group stage is boring and predictable. That’s lobbying for the interests of the biggest clubs, which have historically involved arguing for a greater share of revenue and against more redistribution – although there is now pushback from a rump of smaller clubs in the organisation to change funding. Those countries’ specific issues are also connected to the fact that PSG and Bayern are now the two leading forces in the European Club Association. So that would be two micro-nations and four small leagues, with two of them having undergone the ructions of post-communism.

It is probably a good job Prem sides cannot meet a home rival until the last eight in the spring.

Liverpool will discover their Champions League group stage opponents when the draw takes place on Thursday at 5pm.

Arguably the toughest draw would see Liverpool paired with either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich from Pot 1, while also taking on Inter Milan from Pot 3 and Celtic in Pot 4. They cannot be drawn with Premier League rivals Manchester City from Pot 1, and will avoid the other teams in Pot 2. The Reds can face any of the teams from Pot 3 and Pot 4.

2021-22 saw the Bhoys take part in three different European competitions. They caused a scare for Bayern Munich in their last 16 tie, after they drew the first leg 1-1. They did claim a creditable 0-0 draw in the return leg at the Etihad but the damage had already been done. They then lost two of the their last three to end up in the familiar surrounds of the Europa League. The prodigal son is back from a torrid time in the Premier League and will hope to remind everyone of his class. Will he be the catalyst to restore past glories to Juve? That has also translated into the disappointing Champions League performances since they were runners-up in 2017. Ultimately, a lapse by Trent Alexander-Arnold allowed Vinicius to score the winner. Having won the first leg 1-0 thanks to Mbappe's stoppage time goal, they added to their advantage in the Bernabeu. Their return to the top European competition is long overdue. However, they always seem to achieve it and be competitive. The Germans enter the top seeds by virtue of winning last season's UEFA Europa League.

Atletico Madrid would consider themselves favourites in this group, but Napoli, Porto and Dinamo Zagreb won't be giving up any points easily. (Spurs progressed to the 2019 final at the expense of Ajax after Lucas Moura scored a 96th-minute winner.) Both clubs are looking sharp domestically so will no doubt deliver two unmissable group stage matches. Benfica is battle-tested at this level, while both Eintracht Frankfurt and Sevilla will be looking to show they can cope with the step up to the Champions League after showing they can win the Europa League in recent years.

Should Dortmund land Dest from Barcelona, as has been rumored this week, that would take Barça out of the running here and make a Chelsea/Juventus-Dortmund-Rangers trio in any group even more of a lure from a U.S. So any combination that features one of Chelsea, Barcelona and Juventus out of Pot 2 and then Dortmund and Rangers will surely catch the eye of USMNT staff, players and supporters alike in the coming weeks (since Frankfurt and Dortmund can’t be drawn together given they are both Bundesliga clubs, there’s no scenario in which all four clubs in a group features U.S. Sadio Mané has gotten off to a brilliant start with Bayern Munich, and two of his former clubs are involved in the competition. With Russian clubs barred from competition due to its nation’s invasion of Ukraine, the past stipulation that kept Russian clubs and Ukrainian clubs apart in the group stage is no longer in play. A Bayern-Liverpool-Inter/Napoli-Marseille group also offers a similar effect—four clubs in Europe’s top five leagues all with the talent to reach the knockout stage. The remaining pots are set in club coefficient order (a formula that takes into account the results of each club in UEFA competitions based on performances over the last five seasons), which limits the potential for true groups of death but does offer some intriguing possibilities.

We take a closer look at the teams Chelsea could be drawn against in this evening's Champions League draw in Turkey…

The draw begins at 5pm (UK time) today and will be shown live on BT Sport and via a stream on UEFA’s website. All six group fixtures will be played over an eight-week period this autumn due to the mid-season scheduling of the FIFA World Cup. That is usually only required for teams who have not been regular participants in European competition in recent years. Clubs earn points towards their coefficient based on how well they perform in the Champions League, Europa League and, from last season, the UEFA Conference League. For example, in the Champions League, clubs are awarded four points each for reaching the group stage and last 16, as well as two points for a win and one for a draw in the knockout stages. Pots 2, 3 and 4 are seeded based on individual teams’ standings within the UEFA club coefficient standing.

Pot Three also has a number of teams who could take up the challenge of facing Liverpool and none will likely be more challenging than Inter Milan. Liverpool may well want to face Real Madrid from Pot One for revenge from last year's final and other matches against the likes of AC Milan and Bayern Munich would also be blockbuster ties. But arguably the team Liverpool will want most from Pot One will be Porto given their incredible record against them.
