Fenerbahce officials declined to discuss the 18-time Turkish champions legal problems at UEFA headquarters.

Bursaspor officials, attending the subsequent Europa League draw, acknowledged having no idea if their club could yet be upgraded to Europes marquee club competition. PAOK was also affected, because Fenerbaches reinstatement as a seeded team knocked the Greek league runner-up down into the pool of unseeded clubs. PAOK will host Metalist in an empty stadium, as the club serves a UEFA ban for crowd violence in a Europa League match last season. Ukrainian runner-up Metalist has finally broken through into the Champions League by finishing behind champion Shakhtar Donetsk, pushing longstanding power Dynamo Kyiv into third.
