This season marks the final year of the group stage as we have come to know it. From next season the 32-team group stage will be replaced by a 36-team league phase, with each team playing eight matches on a seeded basis.
It will be worth keeping an eye as the season progresses on the country coefficients, which are based on the collective performance of a country's clubs in the three UEFA men's club competitions.
One team each from the two best-performing countries will secure additional places in the league phase, under changes agreed at UEFA Congress in Vienna last year.
