All eyes on the champions league group draw!

The Champions League of the 2022-23 season essentially raises the curtain today (25/8, 19:00), with the draw of the group stage, which will take place in Istanbul, where on June 10, 2023 the final of the competition will be hosted.
Due to Qatar's World Cup in the middle of the season, the groups will be completed much faster than usual, in less than two months.
There will be three pairs of consecutive matches, without the usual one-week break between them (6-7 and 13-14 September, 4-5 and 11-12 October, 25-26 October and 1-2 November), and already in early November we will know the 16 teams that will continue in the knockout stages, but also how they will cross-check, since the draw of the "16" stage is scheduled for 7/11.
As always, the 32 teams participating in the group stage have been divided into four groups of capacity, led by titleholder Real, last year's Europa League winner Eintracht Frankfurt and the champions of the countries that are in the top positions of the UEFA rankings.
The remaining teams are divided into the other three groups based on their coefficient in European competitions. In each group, one team is drawn from each group of capacity, with the restriction that clubs from the same country cannot be pitted against each group.
