Good day everyone,
I hope you are all having a good day, welcome to CryptoGod-1's blog on all things sports. In this post I will be looking at the recent draw for the new revamped UEFA Champions League. If you would like to read about the new structure for the competition I have done a post about it here: New UEFA Champions League Format
League Stage Draw
The new format for the UEFA Champions League has been drawn today. No teams from the same association can face an opponent from the same association, with each team given their four home and four away games from two teams in each pot. The pots for the draw were as follows:
Pot 1 - The highest 9 rated teams in the competition
Pot 2 - The next 9 rated teams in the competition
Pot 3 - The following 9 rated teams in the competition
Pot 4 - The 9 bottom ranked teams in the competition
