Madrid will be hoping to defend their crown but will face another tough journey to the top. Ajax and Benfica will be their biggest tests in this relatively favourable group. Their toughest test in this group will be Conte’s former side Inter, who have started their Serie A season with two wins out of two. Despite their problems, they should still have enough to finish top in this group. Messi, Neymar, Mbappe and co are desperate to win this trophy as the Parisians are yet to get their hands on the European crown. A relatively easy group for [Thomas Tuchel](https://www.sportbible.com/thomas-tuchel)’s side and they should qualify as winners with ease. Diego Simeone’s Atletico are masters of the dark arts and will back themselves to beat anyone. [Chelsea](https://www.sportbible.com/chelsea) take on Celtic. Sevilla have started the season poorly and will need to up their game if they are to qualify. Napoli and Marseille are expected to pose only a minor threat. Leipzig and Champions League regulars Shakhtar will be the two teams fighting for second place in the group. This year, there are six British teams in the draw after Rangers put in a monumental effort to dispatch Dutch side PSV Eindhoven.

Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Celtic and Rangers will learn their opponents.

Celtic and Rangers are in the fourth pot. There is the possibility of some heavyweight groups. The other pots are based on how well teams have done in Europe over the past five seasons.

Tottenham will discover their Champions League group fate later today with the draw taking place in Istanbul at 5pm.

While, of course, there are never any straightforward games in the Champions League, Porto and Eintracht Frankfurt are perhaps the opposition Spurs will want to come up against from Pot 1. Frankfurt haven't got off to the best of starts this time around and have yet to win from their first three games after drawing two and losing one. Shakhtar finished bottom of their Champions League group last season, drawing two and losing four of their six fixtures. Tottenham will ideally want to avoid one of the big guns from Pot 1 in Thursday's draw. In terms of Pot 3, teams will not want to be drawn alongside Inter Milan. [Potentially coming up against one of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or PSG from Pot 1](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/fixtures-results/chelsea-tottenham-champions-league-draw-24823250), there are also some very tricky teams in Pot 3 as Inter Milan, Napoli, and Borussia Dortmund find themselves in there.

Our subscribers in the USA can watch it on Paramount+ and CBS Sports HQ. Teams from pot two are drawn, followed by pots three and four. Pot one contains the winners of last season’s Champions League and Europa League, as well as the winners of the top six divisions in Europe. Pots two, three and four are then determined by clubs’ UEFA coefficients. An evening that treads the line between pomposity and kitsch, replete with close-up shots of grinning club officials, is coming to Istanbul. Therefore, Celtic and Rangers could be drawn against an English side. That means, for example, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur cannot be placed together despite being in different pots. Each team can use a maximum of three stoppages in play to make substitutions, with one extra allowed in extra time. UEFA describes the launch as its “Standing Facilities Observer Programme 2022-23”.

Hello, and welcome to football.london's live coverage of the UEFA Champions League group stage draw!

Last season's runners-up Liverpool are alongside Chelsea, Barcelona, Juventus, Atlético, Sevilla, Leipzig and Tottenham in Pot 2 for the 25 August draw.

There were some inconsistent results initially as the team adapted to the new man in charge, including defeats by Mura and Rennes in the Europa Conference League as Tottenham's continental campaign ended at the group stage. [Tottenham (ENG)](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/clubs/1652--tottenham/) [UEFA coefficient ranking](https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/uefarankings/club/#/yr/2022): 14 Domenico Tedesco took over and oversaw an impressive end to the campaign, thanks to the emergence of Christopher Nkunku as a regular goalscorer. 2021/22: Despite securing a top-four spot for the third season in a row – something they last achieved in the late 1950s – there could be a feeling Sevilla's campaign promised more. [Sevilla (ESP)](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/clubs/52714--sevilla/) [UEFA coefficient ranking](https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/uefarankings/club/#/yr/2022): 12 City squeezing through 1-0 on aggregate in a dramatic quarter-final. More success appeared likely as they reached the Champions League knockout stage with ease thanks to five Group H victories, but a surprise last-16 defeat by dark horses Villarreal brought their European journey to an unexpectedly early end. 2021/22: Last term was undoubtedly a frustrating one for the Blaugrana given their success in recent years. 2021/22: The 2020/21 winners eased into the Champions League knockout rounds with four wins and a draw in Group H, and earned a 4-1 aggregate success over LOSC Lille in the last 16 as their tilt at defending their crown gathered steam. [Barcelona (ESP)](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/clubs/50080--barcelona/) [UEFA coefficient ranking](https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/uefarankings/club/#/yr/2022): 6 [Chelsea (ENG)](https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/clubs/52914--chelsea/) [UEFA coefficient ranking](https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/uefarankings/club/#/yr/2022): 5 However, the remainder of the campaign did not pan out quite as planned as the Reds finished second to Manchester City in the Premier League title race by a single point and narrowly lost the Champions League final to Real Madrid.

Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund were just as strong, topping the table without a loss and going on to meet Los Blancos again in the semi-finals of the competition. An encyclopedia of football shirts and boots knowledge – both past and present – Mark has also been to the FA Cup and League Cup finals for FFT and has written pieces for the mag ranging on subjects from Bobby Robson's season at Barcelona to Robinho's career. and they were still the weakest side in the group. Group B that season prepared them for a rollercoaster knockout stage of coming back from the brink. This one – also managed by Conte – bombed out early and finished silver in the Europa League. Now, this is what the Champions League is all about – and in this list, we're not counting the short-lived second group stage, of course… European champions Inter Milan were the headliners of the group, with Tottenham announcing themselves with Bale, Luka Modric and co. The streets would certainly never forget this group in a hurry. This was the season that they smacked Inter for five – who in turn had sausaged them 3-0 at Highbury – while Lokomotiv and Dynamo were well-organised teams that westerly clubs didn't particularly like visiting. Looking at the quality of the four teams, it was a brilliant achievement. The group stages of the Champions League are just a part of the competition, whether we're being introduced to a young Erling Haaland, witnessing more Messi madness or just enjoying two giants of the continent going hammer and tongs for one another, safe in the knowledge that they'll probably beat Club Brugge and still get through regardless. The Champions League group stage isn't the fun part, according to some.

The draw will take place in Istanbul, Turkey on Thursday at 4 p.m. GMT, midday ET when the 32 teams will be split into eight groups of four.

Each team gets a basic fee of 15.6 million euros ($15.5 million), plus 2.8 million euros ($2.78 million) per win and 930,000 euros ($924,000) for each draw in the group stage. The Champions League is even more concentrated in western Europe – and not just because of the Russia ban. The other 24 teams are seeded according to UEFA ranking based on European results in the past five seasons. It can also be streamed on Sony LIV app and the website. Do not type comments in all capital letters, or in all lower case letters, or using abbreviated text. (example: u cannot substitute for you, d is not 'the', n is not 'and'). The extra 930,000 euros ($924,000) left over from each drawn game is pooled and shared among teams who won games. The 32 teams from 15 different countries go into groups of four playing home-and-away round-robin games. The top two in each group advance to the knockout stage next year. There is no such upstart this season, though some in Scotland would argue Rangers should count as a first-timer. Maybe we will be lucky,” Shakhtar captain Taras Stepanenko said this week. Madrid has advanced every time.
