I really wish there was some explanation as to why these clubs are closed off from groups. There doesn't seem to be any reason.





Seems what happening is that groups from same FA are going to complete opposite sides of the draw but not sure exactly why?

(for ex: since Juve was in group C, Roma couldn't be in any group A-D even though there are only two Italian clubs.)

None of this explains why all those Pot 4 teams were closed off to groups

The German clubs would have to avoid Bayern and I'm sure there were some other rules. Maybe they make Gent avoid PSV or some other rules that make two neighboring countries avoid each other to maximize TV.

Yeah I saw this a few times, Groups A-D were closed off to teams.

It seemed like Pot 4 the last 3-4 teams only had one group they could go to, and it seemed rather arbitrary. Even Maccabi Tel Aviv only had 1 group.


Edit: Guys. I know teams from the same country can't play one another. The situations I'm talking about have nothing to do with that.

I wasn't paying attention towards the end, but maybe Maccabi Tel Aviv could only go to one group due to other clubs' restrictions. There were 5 La Liga teams this year so that probably made it trickier, too. I was able to find the UEFA rules book and they didn't really provide much detail.
