The Champions League pot draw is live today on Goal (Goal.com I guess).
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/champions-league-seedings-place-dortmund-002200139--sow.html
The seedings for Thursday's Champions League group stage draw in Monaco have been decided, with last year's runner-up Dortmund in pot three and Rafa Benitez's Napoli in pot four.
The 32 qualifiers have been divided into four pots, with the restriction that teams from the same national association cannot be drawn together.
There are few surprises in pot one as holder Bayern Munich takes its place alongside powerhouses such as Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea -- although the occupation of Portuguese duo Porto and Benfica will raise some eyebrows.
Last year's finalist Borussia Dortmund has to settle for a place in pot three, meaning it could once again end up in a tricky pool -- with a group featuring Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli a possibility.
Another potential 'group of death' could be one consisting of Belgian champion Anderlecht -- which is only in pot four -- and giants Manchester City, Juventus and reigning European champion Bayern Munich.
