don't ask me to explain how,but following the draw rules some pairings are already decided... 1) no teams from the same country in the same group 2) no teams which met in the previous stage of the CL 3) only 1 team from each of the pots - as follows: Pot 1 Real Madrid FC Barcelona Manchester United Valencia Pot 2 Arsenal Juventus AC Milan Internazionale Pot 3 Deportivo La Coruña AS Roma Bayer Leverkusen Borussia Dortmund Pot 4 Lokomotiv Moscow Ajax Newcastle United FC Basel Roma will certainly face ARSENAL,and will get either Barcelona or Valencia Man Utd will face Deportivo,and either Inter or Juventus will be in this same group Milan will certainly have either of the two german teams
This is what Milan's group will look like: Barca/Real/Valencia Milan Leverkusen/Dortmund Newcastle/Ajax/Basel/Lokomotiv I'm hoping for this: Real Madrid Milan Leverkusen Newcastle
Can't wait I am salivating over some of the matchups...will finally have to learn to program the old VCR (yeah, I'm still about 2 decades behind the times). Sample Draw: Group A Real Madrid AC Milan Bayer Leverkusen Newcastle United Group B FC Barcelona Juventus Borussia Dortmund Ajax Group C ManU Inter Deportivo Basle Group D Valencia Arsenal Roma Lokomotiv
Liverpool Out?? Newcastle In?? Greatest recovery ever?? hell Yeah. . Nice to see the Italians doing well and many thanks go out to juventus. I hope we get a great group.
