Barca draws Bayer, Roma and Bate

[raki]

We should look to qualify after Bate at home then rest key players in the last two.

We need to be 1st. I see a lor of over confidence around this topic.
Maybe to much.

I know fixture congestion is a worry, but it's nothing new is it ? Plus other clubs will suffer as well.

Decent draw IMO,I see no reason why we shouldn't win the group.

Barring an absolute calamity, of course we're going to finish first. Who else do you expect to seriously compete for top spot? Roma? Bayer? I don't think so.

We've got a good draw after so long - I wanted us to be the only top level team and for us not to get any russian teams - traveling there is the worst. We got Bate, so that's there; however they aren't a very good team, so that's good.

Just hope we have pretty much topped the group after 4 games, so we can cruise through the last 2 fixtures.

We have depth problems and a tough schedule. It will be hard to go undefeated.

I don't doubt that. I believe we will drop points due to depth problems, but there isn't a PSG or ATM or Juventus to make us pay for a few dropped points here and there - the other teams will drop points as well. Besides, that's why I am hoping we go full throttle in the initial games..

Leno better be ready for Leo.

Barca is quite lucky to play in Belarus in october, rather than December.

Its not over confidence, we should easily win this group. If not its a big failure.

Winning the group should be the goal. Bayer got better over the years and I highly doubt a 7-1 will happen again, Bate and Roma could be tougher away games, but it's still a fair bit easier than the last years. Groups overall are solid.

You can't ask for a better group really. This is the easiest group we had in a very long time. None of the matches pose a big threat and Roma is absolute shit in UCL.

This is very true. None of the other teams in our group are much better than the rest. Roma can easily choke, Bayer can easily choke, etc. No top class team to challenge for that 1st spot.

I'm travelling to Rome on the 16th.

Was able to get a ticket on the website. Still a few available.

Can't wait. I'm sure it will be something similar to this or even more to it.
