Champions League 2023/24 group stage pots – UEFA have now confirmed the seedings for the 2023/24 Champions League group stage draw.
Champions Manchester City have been placed in Pot 1 as titleholders following their 1-0 win over Inter Milan in Istanbul.
Europa League winners Sevilla will be joining Pep Guardiola’s side in Pot 1 alongside the champions from Europe’s top six leagues.
But due to Champions League winners City also claiming the Premier League title, their domestic spot passes to Eredivisie’s top side Feyenoord.
This has left some huge teams in Pot 2, with Manchester United and Arsenal joining 14-time winners Real Madrid in getting a tough group.
Newcastle are the only Premier League side who do not yet know their group as they wait for what other teams qualify.
Meanwhile, Union Berlin and Lens are the only two teams already placed in Pot 4 due to their lack of Champions League experience.
Six teams still need to go through the qualifying rounds to earn a place in the Champions League group stages.
