The UEFA Champions League is about to start, and most of the teams are ending - some of them are only beginning - their transfer season. UEFA decided to pick the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seeded teams for this year's edition of the competition, even if the CL qualifiers have not yet reached the second round. What surprised all of us was Chelsea failing to make the 1st seed position for the second straight year.
