So, let's go!
Laura Wontorra opens the UEFA gala.
After the welcome and the warm words, there is now a look back at the past season when Chelsea won the pot.
Update from August 26th, 5.47 p.m.:
In less than a quarter of an hour it starts in Istanbul, then the UEFA ceremony begins.
The groups will probably only be drawn once Europe's Footballer of the Year has been chosen.
Robert Lewandowski's successor is apparently already in place.
European champion and CL winner Jorginho from Chelsea should receive the trophy.
By the way, the final of the premier class is in Russia this year, so it's called “Road to St. Peterburg”.
Update from August 26, 4:35 p.m.:
FC Bayern is threatened by a real hammer group - even though the German record champion is set in lottery 1.
The reason: Pot 2 has it all!
Real Madrid, Juventus Turin and PSG cavort among others there.
An absolute monster group would be: FC Bayern, Real Madrid, Ajax Amsterdam and AC Milan.
In a good hour and a half we will know more, then the preliminary round groups of the premier class will be determined.
Update from August 26, 2:36 p.m .:
The countdown is on!
The draw for the Champions League group stage will start in less than three and a half hours.
Champions League: Draw today in the live ticker - FC Bayern and BVB are threatened with hammer lots
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.

At first glance it becomes clear: The German teams are threatened by real hammer groups!
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.
