This is the flawed qualification system. Arsenal had to play a qualification game to get into the Champion's League at all, and because they won it they're now joining the top seeds in the first pot?
How does that make sense? City finished higher than Arsenal and got a guaranteed spot, but in the third pot meaning a tougher draw and Arsenal finished fourth, won a playoff and get into the first pot meaning an easier draw?
