The way the draw tomorrow morning will work, is that one team from each pot will be drawn into a group, but a team from the same country and a team from the same pot cannot be drawn into the same group. For example, a group could consist of:
Bayern Munich Ace Robben Could Face His Old Club Real Madrid In This Year's Champions League Group Stage.
Barcelona
Werder Bremen
Tottenham Hotspur
FC Twente
or,
Manchester United
Real Madrid
Schalke 04
Auxerre
With Schalke in pot 3, they’d be a side playing against the odds to secure a place in the first knockout round of Europe’s elite tournament. Tomorrow’s draw will reveal the Champions League groups and we’ll have a better look at what the chances are for the Bundesliga’s representatives.
