According to MARTIN SAMUEL, wealthy clubs gain the benefits of being successful without being wealthy

The CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: Pot 2 was the winner. Pot 2 was the example of how Europe's richest clubs have arranged the UEFA's biggest tournament. In pot 2 there were eight clubs, six of which attempted to form a closed-shop Super League a year ago. Liverpool, Chelsea (bottom left), Tottenham (centre, drawn out by Yaya Toure), Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Juventus (top left) are now all living their second-best lives. Only Sevilla and RB Leipzig were excluded from the nefarious program. Four of the seven other clubs in the second round of the Champions League draw on Thursday were fourth, fourth in their leagues, two were second, and another second, but by 13 points. However, it didn't matter. Although six authentic national champions sat in pot 4 - the one that almost guarantees a hellish group-stage path - the rich but ineffective teams had to defend themselves by virtue of their historic co-efficiency. Marcus Rashford's unnecessary apology for swearing while celebrating his champion over Liverpool (right) reveals a man who is trying to live up to his pristine appearance.
