A change in format ahead of the coming season sees each champion from Europe's top seven associations - along with the reigning tournament victor - get placed in the most desirable pot for the draw.

Pot 1 is already confirmed to include Italian champion Juventus and French kingpin Paris Saint-Germain, while Bayern Munich is all but assured of joining the elite group this weekend.
