For the group stage, the 10 teams were drawn into two groups (Groups A and B) of five containing a team from each of the five pots. Teams from pot 1 were drawn first and were placed in the first position of their group, starting with Group A and then Group B. The same procedure was followed for teams from pots 2, 3, 4 and 5, and they were placed in positions 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively, within the group to which they were drawn. Each group must contain no more than two clubs from the same national association.[4] No restrictions were applied at the time of drawing the groups.

    2. Goal difference in the matches played among the tied teams (if more than two teams are equal on points);
    3. Goals scored in the matches played among the tied teams (if more than two teams are equal on points);
    4. The lowest number of disciplinary points, based on the following criteria:
      1. Yellow card: plus 1 point;
