Champions League group stage draw

With the qualifiers completed, the teams have been seeded into their pots for the draw today (August 27) at 5pm BST.

Pot one; Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Milan, Arsenal, Sevilla, Bayern Munich.

Pot two; Lyon, Inter, Real Madrid, CSKA Moscow, Porto, AZ Alkmaar, Juventus, Rangers.

Pot three; Olympiakos, Marseille, Dynamo Kyiv, Stuttgart, Fiorentina, Atlético Madrid, Bordeaux, Besiktas.

Pot four; Wolfsburg, Standard Liège, Maccabi Haifa, FC Zurich, Rubin Kazan, Unirea Urziceni, Apoel Nicosia, Debreceni.


Looks like there could be some very difficult draws with some good teams in pots 3 and 4 with some long journeys too. What odds Real Madrid to be matched with Milan, ManU or Liverpool for a returning player hyped game.

Re: Champions League group stage draw

Looking forward to this, pretty good odds it seems an english club will draw real madrid in their group based on organisation protection.

Re: Champions League group stage draw

Should be an interesting draw and it's set up perfectly for one of the clubs raided by Madrid to try and get revenge. There are a couple of good sides in the lower pots too, so there could be some tough groups, i should think there are a few of the big boys hoping they don't draw Atletico.

Yep, Wolfsburg from Pot 4 are the team to avoid IMO. Pot 3, Atletico and Fiorentina are both dangerous....I can feel a 'group of death' coming up, I just hope it's not Chelsea's.

I dunno, I think ManU are always really lucky in avoiding a group of death scenario and I reckon that they will draw Rangers for another battle of Britain (because they always get a Scottish club!).

Watch out for Standard Liege in pot 4, a very good team. I also fear for anyone who has a trip to Haifa.

Re: Champions League group stage draw

Being a neutral a part of me would love to see one of our clubs (England) draw Real Madrid for the spectacle, but on the other hand I do like to see them all progress out of the group stage.

Re: Champions League group stage draw

Looking at Pot 1, I'd imagine the unseeded teams in the pots below will be hoping to draw Liverpool or possibly Sevilla.....

Re: Champions League group stage draw

I live for these draws

Some make it sound like its easy to go through you still gotta play top of your game in each match and travel to some unknown places

Anyone could win it. Chelsea's year I think

Arsenal + ManU should be well chuffed after 3 groups out imo.

Re: Champions League group stage draw

Goalkeeper of the Year : Edwin Van Der Sar
Defender of the Year : John Terry
Midfielder of the Year : Xavi Hernandez
Forward of the Year : Leo Messi

Not too bad a draw, could have been a lot worse for the English and Scottish teams.

5 British teams will be pretty happy I should think.Could have been a lot worse. Would expect all 4 English to get through and Rangers have a decent chance.

Re: Champions League group stage draw

Is it just me, or was that the most long, drawn out process ever? Why don't they put the seeds in a pot, and say right, Group A...one from here, here, here and here...done. Next..?

It is so OTT.

Re: Champions League group stage draw

because they have special seedings for teams depending on the group.
ie no 2 teams from the same country in one group.
Teams for the the same contry play on different days.

They can't do that as teams from the same country cannot be drawn in the same group.

Re: Champions League group stage draw

Utd must be pretty pleased, but there are some potential banana skins for the rest of the big four. Pity none of the EPL teams drew Madrid though.
