UEFA Champions League group stage draw: How to watch, live thread and reaction

Thirty-two teams will be divided into eight groups of four to decide which teams will face off in the group stages of Europe's top competition, kicking off in mid-September. Based on league results from the 2014-2015 season, as well as results from the play-off matches that took place over the past couple weeks, the teams have been divided into four "Pots" for the draw.
