Since Real Madrid, the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League winners , have also become champions in their national league, Shakhtar Donetsk, the champions of the nation (Ukraine) that is eighth in the UEFA five-year ranking, moved into pot 1.

The draw took place in Monaco on August 24, 2017.

  3. Number of goals in direct comparison
  4. Number of away goals in direct comparison
  5. If, after applying criteria 1-4, two or more teams still occupy the same place in the table, criteria 1-4 are reapplied for these teams. If this does not result in a definitive placement, criteria 6–12 will be applied.
  6. Goal difference from all group matches
  7. higher number of goals scored
  8. higher number of away goals scored
  9. higher number of wins
  10. higher number of away wins
  11. lower number of minus points through yellow and red cards (yellow card 1 minus point, red card 3 minus points, yellow-red card 3 minus points)
