How the UEFA Champions League draw works

UEFA Champions League Play-Off Draw

UEFA Club coefficient

Just like the country coefficient, clubs also have a coefficient that help them in the seedings. This coefficient is calculated based on their performances in the last 5 years. Therefore, despite Bayern Munich’s Champions League victory last season, Barcelona are ahead of the Bundesliga club.

It is because of this that Manchester City will be behind Arsenal in the seedings, even though they qualified directly and Arsenal have had to go through qualifiers. Arsenal, because of their good performances in the Champions League in recent seasons, will go straight into Pot 1.

Inter Milan’s ranking is expected to drop this year as they will not be participating in the Champions League. Therefore, they might fall out of the first pot by next season.
