The stage is set for Thursday's Champions League group stage draw.
Following the completion of the competition's 10 play-offs on Wednesday, 32 clubs were placed into four pots, each containing eight teams.
Pot 1 consists of the champions of the eight highest-ranked UEFA nations, while the remaining sides were inserted into Pot 2, Pot 3, and Pot 4, according to coefficient.
Each group will contain one team from each pot, and no club can play a side from its own association, meaning it's hypothetically possible that Barcelona, Manchester City, AS Roma, and VfL Wolfsburg are lumped together.
Taking place at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, the draw will be hosted by retired 'keeper Peter Schmeichel and Swiss actress Melanie Winiger.
