    Draw Format

    During the draw, each team was against eight different clubs, facing two teams from each pot.

    Each matchup will consist of a home and away leg.

    Interestingly, the draw is designed to prevent clubs from the same national association from facing each other more than twice.

    Former Brazilian great Kaka and one of the greatest strikers of the modern era, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, were present during the draw. Ibrahimovic was also presented with the UEFA President’s Awards 2025.
