Here is are group for this season's Champions League, and in comparison to other groups we got out easy: Milan Lille AEK Athens Anderlecht
Well anything can happen in tournaments but in all fairness Milan should own this group. *i just hope the draw doesn't convey too much promise that would convince Milan not to spend for the week ahead.*
it is seemingly easy, nothing to complain about, but heres something interesting... If we take 2nd in our group, here are our 2nd round opponents (if the groups finish as I think they will) Group A - Chelsea or Barca Group B - Inter (so we cant draw them in R16) Group C - Liverpool Group D - Valencia Group E - Real Madrid Group F - Manchester United Group G - Arsenal I dont think we want to take on any of those teams in the round of 16, so its imperitive that we win the group. I know group play can be tricky and not all of those teams will win their groups, (lyon could trump Real again), but we need to ensure that we dont screw up such an easy draw
Milan will play in the venue for the final, at least in the group stage. I believe AEK and Milan were paired in the 1994-1995 CL also. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League_1994-95
Am I to understand that we may STILL get banned from the CL if this FIFA vs. Juventus crisis explodes???
Its true that a Juve appeal could mean disaster for all things Italian football, but if they do, I foresee the destruction of Juve. Literally, metaphorically, awesomely
no problems surviving this round normally. All matches must be won except for the ones vs. Lille ... Lille is dificult to beat. Also keep an eye on Boussoufa, Vanden Borre and Biglia from Anderlecht. Three players who should be playing in bigger teams ! ps : HOW CAN I GET TICKETS FOR THE MATCH @ HOME VS. ANDERLECHT ??? can anybody help me ? I saw I can't buy them online ...
