UEFA チャンピオンズ・リーグ・プレイオフのドローがニヨンで行われ、本戦出場をかけたチャンピオンズルート５試合とリーグルートの５試合の組み合わせが決まった。
注目は強豪同士がぶつかるリーグルート。今季のチャンピオンズリーグのファイナルがホームグラウンドで行われるバイエルン・ミュンヘンはチューリッヒを迎え撃つこととなった。
アーセナルはウディネーゼとリヨンはルビン・カザンと当たる厳しい組み合わせ。プラティニ体制となってプレイオフラウンドで強豪でもシードはされないが、プレミアとセリエAのクラブが潰し合い、リールアンとロシア・プレミアリーグのクラブが激突と本戦でもおかしくない組み合わせとなった。

Ties may be subjected to reversals
アトレティコ・マドリー、セビージャ、レンジャーズ、セルティック、ローマ、ラツィオ、トッテナム、ブラガ、シャルケなどが登場するヨーロッパリーグのプレイオフラウンド。相手は簡単ではないが、彼らは勝ち抜いて本戦に行くのではないか。とはいえ、プレシーズンでもあり油断はできない。移籍市場も開いており、さらなる補強が進む中、チームとしての完成度はシーズンが始まったリーグとまだ始まっていないリーグで違う。その差が勝敗を分けかねないスリルがある。
