    I just want to avoid Liverpool or only get them if we draw Moscow from pot 1. Don't mind about all the other possible draws.

    Our TV Pairing Partner is with Napoli. So if they get drawn into Groups A-D, we will be in E-H. And vice versa.

    Juve and Inter are also paired together.

    there are some pretty good teams in pot 3 that certainly won't be pushovers.

    Basically, we have to draw Madrid, Bayern or Man City.

    We're getting Liverpool in pot 3, is there any doubt?

    Already dodged Liverpool because ManUtd could only be drawn into two groups in the bottom half. This thing doesn't really deserve to be called a "draw".

    Not possible because of the TV pairings posted above.

    edit: oh sorry, there are only the Italian ones. nvm, ManUtd-Liverpool is another one

    Hate having to go to Moscow, even if we should be favored.

    Just hoping we don't get Galatasaray in pot 4. All the others are doable.

    Very good draw for us. Don't care about who we got from pot 1. Got one of the easiest from pot 3 and not Gala or Hoffenheim from pot 4.

    Typical Porto group. Those guys have to be the luckiest team of the last decade.

    Group C has four teams known for outstanding atmospheres inside their stadiums and PSG, Pool and Napoli all play beautiful football. Really looking forward to these games.

    Ended up a decent draw for us. Going through is definitely a reasonable expectation.

    Viktoria Plzen is the last team in our group, pretty good draw I'd say. We test ourselves against a top team while having a great chance to advance.

    I think Napoli have the hardest group but I wouldn't sleep on Ancelotti. He knows how to win in the CL.

    I also think Man United are going to the Europa League, do not @ me.

    I'll take it. RM is RM, they have won more CL trophies than anyone else for a reason but the rest of the group is very beatable. You never know how these things play out but Roma can't complain about the draw
