It's also worth noting that two teams that are in Pot 1 cannot be in the same Champions League Group Stage group together. The same applies for all of the teams in Pot 2, all of the teams in Pot 3 and all of the teams in Pot 4. The groups are specifically made up of a team from each pot.
LIkewise for many other footballing tournaments in which there are group stages and pots.
