With the dust barely settled on Chelsea's historic win in Munich, the pots for the Champions League seeding are nearly confirmed:
Pot 1
Chelsea, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, FC Porto, AC Milan
Pot 2
Valencia, Benfica, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St. Petersburg, Schalke 04, Manchester City, Braga*, Dinamo Kiev*
Pot 3
Olympiakos, Ajax, Basel*, Panathinikos*, Anderlecht*, Juventus, Spartak Msc*, Copenhagen*,
Pot 4
Paris SG, Galatasaray, Celtic*, Dortmund, BATE*, Salzburg*, Montpellier, Nordsjælland,
Teams with * have to go through qualification. Any teams not shown above (Fenerbahce, Udinese, Lille, Malaga, Gladbach, Din. Zagreb, Partizan) still have to qualify and will almost certainly be in pot 4 if they make it, there is a slim chance Fener could make pot 3 but it would require a lot of upsets in the playoff round. If a * team is eliminated, one from the pot below will take it's place - e.g. Braga dont make it, Olympiakos go to pot 2.
