The draw for this year's CL competition takes place on Thursday at 17:00 BST in Istanbul, with defending champions Chelsea among the teams waiting to find out who they will face in the group stage. Fellow Premier League sides Manchester City, who were last year's beaten finalists, Manchester United and Liverpool are all in the pot too.
Tomorrow at 12pm E is the draw. I think UEFA broadcast's it for free. Here are the Pots: Pot 1 Chelsea Villarreal Atlético Madrid Manchester City Bayern Munich Inter Milan Lille Sporting CP Pot 2 Real Madrid Barcelona Juventus Manchester United Paris Saint-Germain Liverpool Sevilla Borussia Dortmund Pot 3 Porto Ajax RB Leipzig Benfica Atalanta Zenit Saint Petersburg Salzburg Shakhtar Pot 4 Beşiktaş Dynamo Kyiv Club Brugge AC Milan VfL Wolfsburg Young Boys Malmo Sheriff Tiraspol As usual - we cannot be part of a group from Pot 2 or an English Team.
Group A Manchester City / PSG Group B Atletico Madrid / LIVRTPOOL Group C Sporting CP / Dortmund Group D Internazionale / RM / Group E Bayern Munich / Barca Group F Villarreal / Manure Group G Lille / Sevilla Group H Chelsea / Juve
Group A Manchester City / PSG / Leipzig / Brugge ...... LMAO Group B Atletico Madrid / LIVERPOOL / Porto / AC Milan fukk Group C Sporting CP / Dortmund / Ajax / Besiktas Group D Internazionale / RM / Shaktar / Sherif .... another LMAO Group E Bayern Munich / Barca / Benfica / Kiev Group F Villarreal / Manure / Atalanta / Young Boys Group G Lille / Sevilla / Salzburg / Wolfsburg Group H Chelsea / Juve / Zenit / Malmo ..... LMAO again
The good thing about getting Atlético in the group stage is that we can't face them in the first round of the knockout stage
yeah but the other 2 clubs in both those Groups won't cause either of them a problem, so they're basically through before a ball is kicked. ther's only 1 weak team in our Group.
With all due respect to Milan,they are a bang average team(History aside obviously). We're topping this group comfortably. And I expect that group with away trips to Villarreal & Atalanta to trip up the Mancs.Exactly the kind of group they like going out of the competition from. Ynwa.
