Note that in preliminary rounds since 1990/91 teams with the worst coefficients
were to play.

It's unknown whether the seeding was used in the preliminaries in seasons
1990/91-1993/94 and how it was used exactly for the Champions' League draws
(pots, etc.).

The number of the seeded teams is equal to the number of the unseeded teams
except UEFA Cup 1st round, where only 16 teams are seeded.
