PSV were watching the last day of Ligue 1 with interest on Saturday as they hoped that Olympique Marseille would take the second spot. That looked unlikely as AS Monaco took a 2-1 lead into added on time against Lens.
However, with the last kick of the game, Lens equalised and they condemned Monaco to third spot and propelled PSV into a seeded spot in the Champions League draw.
That means that PSV will avoid what could have been a tricky game against Benfica, who will be coached by Roger Schmidt.
PSV could face Sturm Graz, AS Monaco, Union Saint-Gilloise or the winner of the match between FC Midtjylland and another opponent (Fenerbahce, Apoel Nicosia or AEK Larnaca).
The draw will take place on the 18th of July.
