Alright, so the first part of the job was done. I had the 20 qualified UCL teams for the group stage, the 10 UEL for the group stage, and the 10 ECL qualified for the KO stage. Now it was time to add the remaining teams to each competition: 12 for the UCL, 6 for the UEL, and 6 more for the ECL.
To do this, I simply took the 29 teams available in the UEFA "Other Leagues" and randomized them into the pots of each tournament. I forgave Juventus and provided them with a spot in the UCL. I just couldn't leave the Vecchia Signora out of such a cup. So, this is what the pots looked like in the end:
UEFA Champions League:
Pot 1: Internazionale, Bayern Münich, FC Barcelona,
Stade Rennais FC, Manchester United, Juventus FC, Ajax, FC Porto
Pot 2: AC Milan, Werder Bremen,
Racing Santander, Olympique Lyonnais, Chelsea, PSV Eindhoven, Benfica, Fenerbahçe
Pot 3:
Parma FC,
FC Energie Cottbus, Real Madrid FC, Paris Saint-Germain,
Aston Villa FC, Galatasaray, Shakthar Donetsk, CSKA Moscow
Pot 4: AS Roma, Hamburger SV, Atlético Madrid, AS Saint-Etienne, Arsenal FC, Dynamo Kyiv, Spartak Moscow, Olympiacos CF
UEFA Cup / Europa League:
Pot 1: Fiorentina, Borussia Dortmund, Valencia, Girondins de Bordeaux, Liverpool, AZ Aalkmar, Sporting Lisbon, Beşiktaş
Pot 2: Lazio, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Zaragoza, Toulouse FC, Newcastle United, Club Brugge, Celtic FC, Panathinaikos FC
Conference League:
Pot 1: Torino FC, Schalke 04, Sevilla FC, Le Mans FC, Tottenham Hotspur, Feyenoord Rotterdam, AEK Athens, Basel 1893
Pot 2: Palermo, Stuttgart, Real Betis, RC Lens, Portsmouth FC, FC Zenit, Glasgow Rangers, Rosenborg BK
Now that everything was set, it was time for the draw. This is what the draw for each competition looked like:
UEFA Champions League:
Group A: Bayern Münich, PSV Eindhoven, Shakthar Donetsk, AS Roma
Group B: AC Milan, FC Barcelona,
FC Energie Cottbus, AS Saint-Etienne (the first group of death)
Group C: Manchester United, Werder Bremen, Real Madrid, Olympiacos CF (the second group of death)
Group D: Internazionale, Chelsea, CSKA Moscow, Hamburg SV (the third and final group of death)
Group E: Juventus FC, Fenerbahçe,
Aston Villa, Dynamo Kyiv
Grupo F: Stade Rennais FC,
Racing Santander, Parma FC, Arsenal FC (yes, those three I managed into the same group)
Group G: Ajax, Benfica, PSG, Atlético Madrid (arguably another death group given the balance amongst all the teams)
Group H: Porto, Lyon, Galatasaray, Spartak Moscow
UEFA Cup / Europa League:
