Real Betis Balompié already knows most of its Champions League 2026/27 rivals. The Spanish club will face eight different opponents, two from each pot, including its own pot in which the team of Manuel Pellegrini appears. The UEFA establishes that the 36 clubs in the league phase are divided into four pots of nine teams according to the club coefficient, with the exception of the Champions League champion, which remains as the top seed in pot 1. Each team faces two opponents from each pot, one at home and one away, to complete four home games and four away games. The Betis will not play against Spanish teams, but will play against two teams from the same foreign country. The first major clarification of the draw is important in green and white: the Betis cannot play against Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid or Villarreal in this league phase, because the UEFA prohibits, in principle, matches between clubs from the same federation. From there, it can face a maximum of two opponents from the same foreign country. That is, they could fall two English, two Italian, two German or two French. They could even come from the same pot if the draw allows it, because the restriction operates by country, not by pot. With the current table, the Betis could find in pot 1 Bayern Munich, PSG, Liverpool, Inter, Manchester City or Arsenal, remaining outside its route Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético because they are Spanish. In its own pot appear rivals of enormous entity like Borussia Dortmund, Roma, Sporting CP, Aston Villa, Porto, Manchester United, Club Brugge and PSV. From pot 3, excluding Villarreal, are currently Feyenoord, Lille, Napoli, Leipzig, Shakhtar Donetsk and Galatasaray. And in pot 4 only Slavia Prague, Stuttgart, Como and Lens have confirmed their presence in the Champions League.
