#2 UEFA's system of seeding has some flaws
In a departure from previous systems which seeded teams into pots based on their UEFA coefficient, Europe's football governing body introduced a new system three seasons ago whereby the first eight teams in Pot One are assigned to the domestic champions of the top six leagues as well as the holders of the Champions and the Europa League.

The league spots were occupied by the winners of the La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, French League and Russian League, with Real Madrid and Atletico occupying the spots for The Champions League and Europa winners respectively.
This meant that clubs like Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund were not seeded, while Lokomotiv Moscow and Manchester City got seeded.
In the first round of matches, three top seeds suffered defeat, with Manchester City, Lokomotiv Moscow and PSG posting losses, and this would further raise questions over the effectiveness of UEFA's seeding system.
