Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atlético and Sevilla know this Thursday their start in the Champions League 22-23

MADRID, 24 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, ​​Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla will know this Thursday (6:00 p.m.) their first tour in the 2022-2023 edition of the Champions League, with the draw for the group stage of the competition that could be quite demanding precisely for the current champion.

The Madrid team will know who their first rivals are in their attempt to defend the title achieved in Paris on May 28 and add their fifteenth European Cup, and despite their position in the first pot compared to their LaLiga Santander teammates, they can be that it is the one that comes out worse off.

Carlo Ancelotti's team will avoid, in addition to the Blaugrana, colchoneros and Sevilla fans, other favorites such as the English Manchester City, the German Bayern and the French Paris Saint-Germain, who will be the main 'coconuts' for Barça, Atlético and the Seville.

Pot 1 is completed with somewhat more 'comfortable' rivals such as the Italian AC Milan, the Portuguese Porto, the Dutch Ajax and the German Eintracht, champion of the Europa League and which could add some 'morbidity' if it falls paired with those of Xavi Hernández, whom he surprisingly eliminated last year from the second continental competition.

As for pot 2, the presence of the other three Spanish teams causes Real Madrid to have the threats of the Premier reflected in Liverpool, current runner-up, Chelsea, whom they eliminated in the quarterfinals, and Tottenham. In addition, he could touch the Italian Juventus and the German RB Leipzig.

Pot 3 also has dangers for the four Spanish teams, especially due to the presence of powerful teams such as Inter Milan and Napoli from Italy, Borussia Dortmund from Germany or Benfica from Portugal, while in Pot 4 the main threat could be French Olympique de Marseille.
