Champions League - 2022/23

And there will still be people tonight that will not understand the draw... ;)

pfffffttt...it's basically a 3rd variation on this...

So does this rule out any potential draws for us?

No, at this stage we can play any non-English side from Pots 2, 3, and 4 (one from each), but that changes as each team is drawn.

i.e. If we are in Pot A for example, and Bayern are in B, Real are in C, then we would not be able to draw Dortmund or Barcelona as we know they will be placed in the other half of the draw (E,F,G,H)

If we are in Pot A-D and Real get placed in Pot E-H, there is a 66% chance of us getting a Spanish side as Barcelona and either Atleti or Sevilla have to be placed in A-D, and Chelsea or Tottenham would also have to be A-D but not in ours.

It is clear and transparent in my opinion, but initially complicated to understand, and even UEFA got it wrong for the Knockouts last season.

Think you missed a set of brackets out and added an extra x

Two out of three goes on that generator, we got Juventus and Dinamo Zagreb.

Edit - 3 out of 4 now for Juventus.

So does this rule out any potential draws for us?

At the moment, the only teams we can definitely not meet are the other English clubs.
The TV pairings will almost certainly mean there will be a team or teams that can’t go into our group but until the draw is actually in progress and panning out, it’s impossible to say who they will be.
Edit: cptaidan88 summed it up much better than me!
