There will be some sorting within the draw, as the UEFA website confirmed, to guarantee that partnered clubs from the same nation play on different days.
Groups A to D will be red, while Groups E to H will be blue, making a total of eight groups. The other paired club, once it has been drawn, will automatically be assigned to one of the four blue groups when a paired club is drawn in one of the red groups (A, B, C, or D) (E, F, G or H).

A Real Madrid & Barcelona
B Frankfurt & Leipzig
C Man City & Liverpool
D Milan & Napoli
E Bayern & Dortmund
F Paris & Marseille
G Porto & Benfica
H Chelsea & Tottenham
