Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, Porto, Juventus and Zenit St Petersburg all won their respective leagues.
Sevilla are also in Pot 1 having won the Europa League with victory over Inter Milan.

It means they could be handed a difficult opponent but will avoid the likes of Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid who are also in their pot.
The aforementioned three Premier League sides have been placed in Pot 2 thanks to their recent performances in Europe but also domestically.
Chelsea won the competition in 2012 while Manchester United won it in 2008 by beating the Blues in a penalty shootout.
Champions League qualification is currently underway despite this season’s competition not yet finished.
