Its a seeded draw...

It’s a bit complicated but basically the top 8 teams go in separate groups. Then there’s a pot 2 with the next best 8 teams. They are drawn out and placed into a group. Then the next best 8 are in a pot and drawn into a group and so on. They try to keep teams from the same continent apart as much as possible so sometimes teams are redrawn if theres too many from Europe for example...
