The Champions League draw has been completed and it turns out that eight games each of the Premier League teams play will play in Match Day 1 in less than three weeks.
The club will play against two teams from each of the four pots. About individual coefficient rankings – 8 games, one, one away from each house. However, they were unable to attract aspects of the same league to each other at this stage, nor could they play more than two opponents from the same league.
Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea were in pot 1, Arsenal were in pot 2, Tottenham were in pot 3, and Newcastle was in pot 4.
Once each team plays their respective eight games, the top 8 of the 36 side leagues will automatically advance to the final 16 of the competition. Teams placed from the 9th to the 24th will be involved in a series of playoffs. These two-legged ties will decide that the remaining eight teams will advance to the knockout stage. But we are moving ahead of ourselves.
Premier League challengers easily ranked eight fixtures through statistical methods similar to placing their fingers in the air, starting with the lucky ones. The equipment date has not been determined yet, and the group phase calendar is scheduled to be released on Saturday.
6) Tottenham
Borussia Dortmund (H), PSG (A), Villarreal (H), Frankfurt (A), Slavia Prague (H), Bodo/Glimt (A), Copenhagen (H), Monaco (A).
The reality champions don’t scare them after going PSG and toe toe in the Super Cup. Thomas Frank was lucky here.
5) Arsenal
Bayern Munich (H), Inter (A), Atletico Madrid (H), Club Bruges (A), Olympiacos (H), Slavia Prague (A), Kairat Almati (H), Athletic Club (A).
The Athletic Club feels like a difficult Pot 4 clash, offering Nico Williams a plot to make long-term suitors better, but it is balanced by Kairato Almati on the Kazafstani side, which is rewardingly easy at home.
I think Emirates’ Harry Kane is fun and Diego Simeone is similarly absorbed when he takes his posture on the touchline with Mikel Arteta, but Arsenal fantasizes himself in both of those games. Neither club is what they once were.
They could see them stumbling at Inter, but Club Bruges, Olympiacos and Slavia Prague are all very kind enemies.

4) Liverpool
Real Madrid (H), Inter (A), Atletico Madrid (H), Frankfurt (A), PSV (H), Marseille (A), Karabag (H), Galatasaray (A).
At first glance, it seems challenging, but we really think Interaway is the only concern for Arneslot and Liverpool. I’m not sure if Simone Inzagi’s defense is so miserable without calling a shot.
They fantasize themselves against Real Madrid at home. We all stopped pretending that Atletico Madrid is a threat to the Champions League and is particularly far from Metropolitano. And I’m totally hoping that Galatasare’s atmosphere dangers will make a significant appearance in the build that leads to that game, as they’re not stopping, they’re steaming, not steaming, they’re steaming, so they’re all expecting it to be a big hit.
3) Manchester City
Borussia Dortmund (H), Real Madrid (a), Bayer Lebarkusen (H), Villarreal (a), Naples (H), Bodeau/Grimt (a), Galatasarey (H), Monaco (a).
Real Madrid of the Bernabeu clearly pops out and travels to the Arctic to play Bodeau/Grimt is uncomfortable, but they feel like they’ve been lucky in a more tricky game other than coming to the house.
2) Newcastle
Barcelona (H), PSG (A), Benfica (H), Bayerlebakusen (A), PSV (H), Marseille (A), Athletic Club (H), Union SG (A).
It appears that they have reached a £73 million agreement with Stuttgart for the seventh Choice Nick Urtemaid, and perhaps replacing Alexander Isaac.
This is good fortune. Because if they aim to facilitate the group phase, they are dealing with raw trading. It couldn’t get worse from pot 1. Bayer Leverkusen and Marseille are one of the toughest games from pots 2 and 3 respectively, while the Athletic Club is the best team in pots 4.

1) Chelsea
Barcelona (H), Bayern Munich (A), Benfica (H), Atalanta (A), Ajax (H), Naples (A), Paphos (H), Karabag (A).
This is three of the top five Europa League champions from Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Napoli. Atalanta lost only one match 3-2 to Real Madrid in the group phase last season. Add to the veteran couple of Benfica and Ajax Champions League. This is a tough draw.
Cyprus rookie Pafos clearly offers 3 points, but Qarabag should not be too tested for the real world champions, but the five-hour flight to Azerbaijan is Ap*sser.
It doesn’t look good for Chelsea. That said, with a rather positive forewarning, one Didier Drogba scored a winning penalty in the final when they played Napoli, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
