The new format of the draw was held on Friday Champions Leaguewhere there will no longer be eight groups of 4 teams but each club will face 8 different rivals, being home 4 times and away 4 others. A change that clashes with the already known traditional one.
The 36 clubs that made up the 4 pots, 9 in each one, were learning the teams they would face. Each club will face two teams from Pot 1, two from Pot 2, two from Pot 3 and two from Pot 4. The order of the teams is based on their performance in recent years.
