Champions League draw: Forming groups

Tonight at 17h45, the draw of the group stage of the Champions League will take place in Monaco. The final pots are known and therefore also the possible opponents of Anderlecht.

Anderlecht will be drawn together with the "weaker" clubs in the fourth pot. In contrast to last year when Anderlecht had to play some qualifying rounds first, they were qualified automatically this year. But last year they were draws in pot 3, this year in pot 4.

The first group match will be played on September 17, the last match on December 11.
