The new format and key matchups
The draw will feature 36 teams from across Europe, with clubs from England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France all in the mix.
The pots are set and offer a number of mouth-watering clashes.
In Pot 1, teams like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain are all top seeds.
The draw will create a number of interesting matchups that would not have been possible in the previous format.
For example, a team from Pot 1 will have to be drawn to play another team from the same pot, creating a heavyweight clash early in the competition.
With no easy fixtures, every game will be a must-watch as clubs battle for a place in the knockout stage.
