First report from August 26, 11:32 a.m .:
Istanbul - It is a very special day in the football fans' calendar: Today, August 26, 2021, the group stage of the new Champions League * season will be drawn. Hammer-Lot or Lot-Luck? The balls may already decide over many millions today. Because for reaching the round of 16 this year there will again be considerable sums - around nine million euros is talked about. Of course, FC Bayern Munich *, Borussia Dortmund *, RB Leipzig * and VfL Wolfsburg * would be very happy about this income.
Of course, there is still a long way to go before then.
And this year, for some clubs, it may lead to Romania, Ukraine or even Moldova.
Of course, the classics are also conceivable: London, Milan or Madrid.
Before the Champions League draw, we will first introduce you to the individual lottery pots with the 32 teams.

But that is probably the case every year.
FC Bayern could meet Paris Saint-Germain, FC Porto and AC Milan, for example.
BVB could draw Chelsea, Ajax Amsterdam and Besiktas Istanbul.
A Leipzig group with Manchester City, Real Madrid and Dynamo Kiev is also possible.
It should be very difficult for VfL Wolfsburg: Atletico Madrid, Juventus Turin and Benfica Lisbon?
Many constellations are possible.
Including supposedly lucky tickets!
Bavaria, Seville, Salzburg, Tiraspol?
BVB, Sporting Lisbon, Donetsk, Malmö?
Leipzig, Villarreal, Manchester United, Bern?
Wolfsburg, Lille, Liverpool, Saint Petersburg?
Only so much seems clear: Leipzig and Wolfsburg will probably meet at least one real cracker.
