Real Madrid's best recent Champions League finals 1:14
(CNN Spanish) --
The Champions League, the most important soccer tournament on the planet at club level, will begin in a couple of weeks, but from now on you can feel the euphoria of the competition because the time has come to know how will make up the groups of the first phase.
The group draw for the Champions League 2022/2023 will take place this Thursday, August 25.
Its importance lies in the fact that, through this mechanism, we will know what the duels of the first phase will be, if there will be any 'group of death' and we will even be able to glimpse the matches of the round of 16.
32 teams participate in said draw: 26 classified directly and 6 more through the
play-offs
.
Three of these last six places were already defined this Tuesday and the other three are defined this Wednesday.
The 32 teams will be distributed in four pots, from where their place in one of the eight groups of the Champions League will be determined.
In the end, each group (ranging from A to H) will have four teams to complete the 32, although in this first phase clubs from the same federation cannot be together.
