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.

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”.

The Champions League draw has pitted Celtic against Real Madrid and includes a group featuring Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Internazionale.

“This award is really for everyone involved with the England team, the FA, the staff and most of all the players. Asked whether winning the Champions League for the first time was City’s priority this season after being eliminated by Madrid in the semi-finals last season after losing to Chelsea in the 2021 final, Soriano added: “No it’s never. Hopefully we’ll qualify for the World Cup and enjoy the game.” Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti won the men’s award, with Karim Benzema named as men’s player of the year. The difference this year is that the group stage will be shorter than usual, so we will have to be ready not just for the quality of the opposition but also for the different demands and rhythms. The Champions League is of course an aspiration but it’s not an obsession. Yet it could have been even worse for Rangers had former Bayern Munich and Turkey midfielder Hamit Altintop drawn them in a group that contained Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Internazionale.
