If you were wondering… former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba got the UEFA President’s Award and Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer was named Men’s Goalkeeper of the Season.
But don’t you worry, there’s still the Defender of the Season, Midfielder of the Season, Forward of the Season and Player of the Season to come.
Drogba and Florent Malouda, his old Chelsea team-mate, are the two former players conducting the draw. First up it’s the Pot 1 clubs…
Group A – Bayern Munich
Group B – Real Madrid
Group C – Porto
Group D – Liverpool
Group E – Sevilla
Group F – Zenit St Petersburg
Group G – Juventus

Let the draw… begin
4pm: In the words of Fabrizio Romano, here we go! The ceremony in Geneva is now underway.
Don’t expect the balls to actually be taken out of the pots for at least another 20 minutes or so, though. You all know the drill by now with a UEFA draw.
Are you reaaaaadddyyyyy
3.55pm: Not long now. Get your cuppa, get seated. It’s almost Pedro Pinto and Reshmin Chowdhury time.
