I'm not sure if the draw will go ahead as scheduled tomorrow since the Sevilla/AEK match won't be played until Monday. Anybody know what UEFA will do?

They will go ahead with the draw, as if Sevilla won the tie.

Replace Stuttgart with Steaua and Benfica with PSV and I'm with ya.

[Viola Star]

It's a shame Spartak Moscow have been knocked out. They are better than some of the teams in the draw.

[Viola Star]

Milan
Schalke
Sevilla
Shakhtar

Group of death?

[CDSANTACLARA]

Slavia who would of tought

[SchalkeSupporter]

As Schalke Supporter I would choose:

ManU
PSV (2 hours drive)
Rangers


Awesome group for us. Very hard, but not impossible to get the 2nd place. Sevilla would be also nice...good relations to the club since UEFA Cup 05/06 semifinal!

[essie]

For Chelsea i think the hardest would be Valencia, Shalke, and Shaktar with the easiest being, Roma, Marseille, and Rosenborg

[Fry36]

Speaking of Schalke I think I'd rather see a group like:

Arsenal
PSV
Schalke
Fenerbahce

I've always liked Schalke - Fener games. Not because of the score, but because they're always entertaining.

And whoever picks Valencia off the 2nd pot and Stuttgart off the 3rd is one unlucky sob in my opinion. I'd think THAT would be the group of death for any team in the 4th pot.

[Edgar]

Real Madrid
Lyon
Steaua
Dinamo Kiev

Same group as last year ;)

[besiktasfan]

Inter
PSV
Marseille

this is my wish as a besiktasfan.

[Offlimp]

[MechCAK]

Barcelona
Lyon
Cska
Fenerbahce

Arsenal
Schalke
Benfica
Besiktas

2003 - SF in CL
2004 - QF in UC
2005 - QF in CL
2006 - QF in CL
2007 - Made it out of the group stage in CL

I think it's wrong that the fourth best English club are in the first pot while the German champions are in the third.

[ApproachWithCaution]

I see your point. I think the champions of the 8 best leagues in Europe (England, Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal, France, Holland & Turkey), should all be in pot 1. That would be a just reward for winning your domestic league and it would add more credence to the competition. It is called the Champions league after all.

I know people will say that the winners of the competition aren't always champions of their domestic league. Liverpool and AC Milan being recent and prime examples of this. But to be honest, that's tough. I'd still put them in pot 2, whether they're the reigning champs or not.

you rate turkey's league as 8th best?

and yet the two scottish clubs have a higher co-efficient than either turkish club. and in celtic's case by quite a considerable distance.

surely we would deserve to be placed above them on that point alone? and please dont mention the lack of domestic competition as our drawback. i'm well aware that it is but doesn't that also ring true to a certain extent in france, portugal and holland?
