Is UEFA giving certain teams an advantage with the way they schedule Champions League matches? Or am I overthinking it?

Not sure if anyone else notices this, but the Champions League schedule has felt a bit off for years now. Real Madrid and Bayern often get the more comfortable fixtures - playing the first leg at home, or avoiding awkward travel weeks. Meanwhile, English teams seem to get the tougher draw more often, with longer flights and tighter turnarounds.

I’m not saying UEFA is biased… but the patterns sometimes look a bit too convenient.

What do you think:
Is UEFA subtly favoring certain clubs, or is this just something fans like me overanalyze?
And do you feel the Champions League schedule is actually fair?
