The draw begins

2026-02-27 12:16:58

The clubs are paired based on their positions at the end of the league phase to form four seeded pairs (clubs in positions 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8).

The clubs in each seeded pair are drawn into one of two positions in the round of 16 against the relevant winners of the knockout phase play-offs, whose position is determined by the knockout phase play-off draw.

Four bowls are prepared for the draw, with the balls containing the names of each pair of seeded teams placed in the corresponding marked bowls according to the league rankings.

The draw will allocate the side of the bracket for all the seeded teams, starting with the teams ranked 7/8 and finishing with the teams 1/2.

One ball will be taken from the bowl containing the two relevant ranked teams (i.e. the teams ranked 7 and 8) and opened to display the team. The first team drawn from this bowl will be placed in their reserved spot on the silver side of the bracket. The other seeded team of the pairing will then be drawn and displayed and allocated to the corresponding reserved spot on the orange side of the bracket. The same procedure will be carried out with the remaining seeded teams.

Atalanta director Marino

“Arsenal and Bayern are both strong; they finished first and second in the league phase, and they are destined to fight until the end for the title. We’ll try to make life difficult for Bayern. We must be Atalanta as we’ve always been, facing them with courage, determination and the fans’ support.

“Surely the enthusiasm with which wich he approaches training sessions and games day by day. He has a great desire to work and give his all for his team. This is surely a quality he’s passing on to the team and the whole environment.”
