This year, teams from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United qualified, and fans eagerly awaited the results of the draw.
One X user noted her fashionable appearance: “Alex Scott bringing aura to the stage.”
However, not all Chelsea fans were thrilled with her presence, believing it led to a difficult draw, down to a “painful” match.
Even before the draw, some fans from west London were convinced that her appearance was a bad omen.
One Chelsea fan remarked: “Alex Scott is doing the Champions League draw... oh guys, we are in trouble.”
Another fan expressed dissatisfaction that Scott supports Chelsea, saying: “Alex Scott says Chelsea is the team to watch, they are 100000% trying to jinx us this year.”
Chelsea had an excellent season last year, winning the women's Super League and a domestic treble.
But fans hoped for an easy start in the Champions League after their humiliating 8:2 loss to Barcelona last year.
However, these hopes were dashed as Sonia Bombastor's team was again drawn with Barcelona, as well as powerful clubs Wolfsburg and Roma.
One fan commented on the draw: “I blame Alex Scott for this.”
Alex Scott also caught the attention of Arsenal fans, who thanked their club legend for the tricky matches for their rivals.
One “Gunners” fan noted: “Alex Scott understood her task, she drew Chelsea against Barcelona in their group.”
Another excited fan cheered: “And Chelsea gets Barca? ALEX SCOTT, I LOVE YOU.”
The Gunners will begin their defense of their European title with a tough draw. They will meet strong opponents like OL Lyonnaise, Bayern, and Real Madrid.
United received a “star-studded” draw, facing teams like Lyonnaise, PSG, Juventus, and Atletico Madrid.

Scott herself, apart from her sports achievements, became popular again thanks to her relationship with English pop artist Jess Glynne.
Thus, her participation in the draw sparked both ridicule and gratitude among fans watching the event.
