Barcelona will be in Pot 1 of seeds for the league phase draw of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League, and for the second successive season it's because Roma missed out on the final day. Last season, Roma would have been in the Champions League had Atalanta finished in fifth place in Serie A, but they finished top four. This season, Juventus secured fourth place on the final day, again consigning Roma to the UEFA Europa League. The Champions League holders and the eight clubs with the best performance in Europe over the past five seasons get a place in Pot 1. PSV Eindhoven are the only other club who can move up from Pot 3 to Pot 2.
