As it is currently, in the group stage we'll face one team from Pot.1, one team from Pot. 3 and one team from Pot.4.
Milan was in Pot.1, but because they will be competing in the UEFA Cup next season, Real Madrid took chance and jumped in Pot.1 from Pot.2.
If one of Liverpool, Barcelona or Arsenal don't qualify, than we'll jump to the first pot, which would mean we'd have to face one team from Pot.2, one from Pot.3 and one from Pot.4.
Not sure if I'm correct (!!!), but I think the UEFA Cup elimination in the semi-finals cost us being behind Real Madrid.
