In my tournament out of the 32 teams, there are 2 semi-finalists, 2 runner-ups and 2 winners (incl. me) and 1 Nivea Men League winner. All the other 26 teams were qualified via League with 8 of the being Champions, 5 runner-ups and the other 13 were 3rd or 4th.
One participant worth mentioning is a team in the 6th group which finished 5th in their league but qualified to the CL after winning it last season.

Fun fact: The team I won in the CL Final last season is in my group.
