Overview
- The UEFA play-off draw on Tuesday paired Eintracht Frankfurt with Paris Saint‑Germain and VfL Wolfsburg with Inter Milan in two-legged ties.
- The women’s play-off first legs are scheduled for 26 August in the home cities and the return legs for 2 September in the opponents’ venues.
- UEFA announced pot placements for the men’s Champions League draw, with Bayern Munich placed in Pot 1 and the Bundesliga’s four clubs separated across different pots.
- The UEFA Super Cup between Champions League winner PSG and Europa League winner Aston Villa is set for 12 August at Salzburg’s Red Bull Arena, with PSG arriving early and coach Luis Enrique declaring strong title ambition.
- Under UEFA’s 36-team ligaphase format, pot placement matters less because each club draws opponents from every pot, but play-off results still grant coefficient points that affect how many direct berths a nation receives in future seasons.
