Pot 1
"Atlético" (Spain), "Liverpool" (England), "Sevillia" (Spain), "Porto" (Portugal), "Villarreal" (Spain), CSKA (Moscow, Russia), PSV (the Netherlands), "Zenit" (Russia), "Juventus" (Italy), "Sporting" (Portugal), "Stuttgart" (Germany), "AZ Alkmaar" (the Netherlands).
Pot 2
"Steaua" (Romania), "Lille" (France), "Dynamo" (Kyiv, Ukraine), "Anderlecht" (Belgium), "Bayer" (Germany), Paris Saint-Germain (France), "Brugge" (Belgium), "Palermo" (Italy), "Getafe" (Spain), "Besiktas" (Turkey), "Manchester City" (England), "Sampdoria" (Italy).
