Draw procedure
Groups 1-5
• All the clubs within the five ten-team groups are ordered randomly and identified by a number: 1 to 5 for the seeded teams and 6 to 10 for the unseeded teams.
• Two bowls will be prepared, one containing the balls with slips of paper numbered 1 to 5 for the seeded teams and the other containing the balls with slips of paper numbered 6 to 10 for the unseeded teams.
• A ball will be taken from each bowl and placed in an empty bowl in the middle, where they will be shuffled. One of the two balls is drawn at random, then opened to display the number it contains, playing at home in the first leg. The second ball is drawn to complete the pairing. The result of this draw applies for all five groups.
• The same procedure is carried out with the remaining balls to complete all the pairings.
Group 6
There are 12 teams in this group; all the clubs are ordered randomly and identified by a number: 1 to 6 for the seeded teams and 7 to 12 for the unseeded teams. The draw is then made in the same fashion as for the previous groups.
Note: Legia Warszawa have replaced Celtic FC in the draw due to a UEFA disiciplinary decision.
