Nice to see Ajax back in the Champions League for the First time since 2014.

Can't help but feel bad for Salzburg. It's a little funny but that's about it.

[SALTIRE]

Ronaldo heading back to Man Utd. Ooooff!!

 

[epic73]

Hat trick at OT is pretty much inevitable now.

 

[Bilo]

One in three that we get Lokomotiv and Porto fucking yes please.

Otherwise it's Atlético/Dortmund or PSG/Napoli.

 

[SALTIRE]

Spurs could get at Barca, think they'll win one of the games.

 

[Bilo]

Fuuuuuuck

 

[Bilo]

PSG and Napoli get to fuck horrible

 

[SALTIRE]

PSG and Napoli get to fuck horrible

Is it fuck, bring it on. Napoli away won't be easy, but PSG ain't all that.

 

[SALTIRE]

Man Utd not looking to get out that group either, Valencia away, good luck there boys!

That looks good for the 4 German clubs to advance :

Bayern should make it #1 in front of Benfica, Ajax, Athens

Dortmund #2 behind Atletico but in front of Monaco and Bruges

Schalke can reach #1 in a group with Moscow, Porto, Galatasaray but should reach at least #2

Hoffenheim can reach #2 behind ManCity and in front of Donezk and Lyon.

After last years disaster with only 3 teams (and only Bayern in the knockout rounds) I expect them to do better.

 

[Mone 1926]

It's a fu***** nightmare, damn.

 

[SALTIRE]

It's a fu***** nightmare, damn.

Said it earlier, you will beat Barca in one of the games. You'll be fine.

 

[epic73]

We'll get 1 against Juve, 3 against Valencia, and 6 against Young Boys.

 

[Mone 1926]

No man, I was talking as Napoli's supporter!
About the Spurs, I'm happy 'cause I think we can play with Barça for the 1st seed.

Yep, looking good for Germany. Looking fucked for English sides. Can easily see both Liverpool and Spurs going out in groups. More worried about Dortmund than the other 3 but then I'm ignorant of how good/not so good Monaco are these days.

 

[epic73]

And us.

 

[Super_horns]

Some quite exciting games there for the neutral to enjoy .

Groups seem to be stronger than usual .

 

[G.B]

And us.

You'll be alright for second I think. Valencia are a team you should be beating. Hope Mbabu scores a worldy against you though.

Yes, the Premier League clubs have tough groups (except ManCity, they should have no problems in Hoffenheims group to reach #1), Normally the others should advance, at least as #2 but if everything goes wrong Liverpool, ManU and Spurs could find themselves in the Europa League after the winter break.

@Dortmund: You're right, they are a bit of a surprise package. Can reach #2 but after last years debacle in the CL (and then in the EL) they can't afford to miss the knockout again. And they have Jadon Sancho
