We play 2 teams from each pot, right? What's the difference between being in pot 1 or pot 4?

I really want one of City or Real and see how Motta goes up against them.

Imagine the scenes if JJ comes back with a resounding 3-0 win..

Pot 1: includes the winners of the CL, EL, and the league winners of the top 6 leagues.

Pots 2, 3, and 4: based on Uefa club coefficient rankings, which reflect a club's performance over the last 5 years.

Hmmm that was not the answer to my question. In the previous format you didn’t play with teams in your own pot in the group stage. So being in pot 1 was valuable since your opponents were probably weaker. In this format even in pot 1 you play teams from pot 1.

Yeah negligible difference, you don't play teams from your nation, so if pot 1 and a significant number of teams from your country, then there is a bigger chance to face teams like psg and leipzig.

I don't see any difference. Maybe home advantage using the pot's hierarchy?

For your team,no difference
For other teams, yes it matters
Imagine madrid in pot 4, and we got them
We should get 6 points clear from teams from pot 4, but wrong pot for madrid made it hard for us.

There’s 4 EPL teams and 5 Serie A teams. Superior league

But you don't play the same opponent twice it is either home or away fixture.I am sure everyone is excited for this new format something different to the monotonous group stage.

In other words, it's basically the new Super League.

I see it now. If you are in Pot 1 you face 2 of your peers & 6 teams that are 'lesser' than you & vice versa. In the old system a Pot 1 team would not be facing any peer at this early stage.

Makes sense to imagine that since we managed to beat verona and como

Here are the rules of the draw if anyone is interested.

Exactly, and that's weird. Previously getting into pot 1 would automatically mean a higher chance of going deeper. So say you're in EL final, and you know you're getting into pot 1 if you win that match, so that's extra motivation. Now that extra motivation is gone.

Are there still restrictions on clubs from the same country being drawn together?

Yes.

This whole new format is ridiculous. And the draw is 100% made by an AI. I bet there will be no insinuations about it being fixed at all

30 minutes of licking each others asses before they fucking draw anyone.

Knees strong!

I'll give the new format a chance as tbh the CL groups have gotten very stale & you always get 1-2 weak groups where absolute fodder teams go through

But I have my doubts
