Can someone please explain how the draw works to me? In regards to which teams can and cannot draw each other.
I know the in the World Cup, you have the "seeds", who can't draw each other. Is it the same way with the CL? If so, it makes little sense that Barca and Chelsea are not both "seeds."

Agreed. Great website.
Quick answer: in the group stage, clubs from the same country can't meet each other. After that, teams are separated into 4 pools based on their seeding (last 5 year's performance). Each group has one team from each pool.
