Pulling the main phase of the Champions League »as the urns look

On Wednesday, Qarabag, Benfica, Club Brugge and Copenhagen have become the last qualified teams in the Champions League. The 36 clubs that will start the competition will be divided into 4 urns of 9 teams.

At the draw from Monaco, each team will be distributed two bands from each ballot box. Only one match with each opponent will be played, the tour-redecence system being only valid for the final and preliminary phases. The teams will play 4 matches at home, 4 away.

The draw will be done in a hybrid system. There will be traditional balls, and the teams will be extracted one by one. The software will automatically generate the 8 opponents of each club.

It is the 12th year in a row in which Romania has no representative in the most important interclub competition. Instead, Pafos, Kairat Almaty and Bodo Glimt are at the first participation.

The first 8 ranked will go directly in the optimal, while the 9-16 places will play a dam with 17-24 places.
