I'd die laughing if we get PSG, Manchester City, and Napoli.

 

[Kerrybai]

I'd die laughing if we get PSG, Manchester City, and Napoli.

I hope we get the group of death. It will prepare us nicely for the knockout stages.

 

[Hamzah]

The worst group is PSG, BVB and Napoli.

 

[BarcaGirl]

I hope we get the group of death. It will prepare us nicely for the knockout stages.

only if we reach them

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

So just in case anyone doesn't know this yet, we drew Milan, Ajax & Celtic.

 

[hardyboy]

Group F is the group of death. we've got the 2nd toughest group...

 

[Faceless]

This won't be a walk in a park... I pity Arsenal though, but it will be interesting. A good competition is healthy.

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

Yep, we all saw what both Milan & Celtic were capable of against us last season. Ajax won't be a walk in the park either. But a challenge will be motivating, see what Tata can come up with here.

Juve v Madrid will be an interesting matchup too (despite being one of my worst nightmares), as will Bayern v City & any match in group F.

 

[impeh]

im guessing everyone saw, but here are the groups.

Group A: Manchester United, Shakhtar Donetsk, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Sociedad

Group B: Real Madrid, Juventus, Galatasaray, FC Copenhagen

Group C: Benfica, Paris St-Germain, Olympiakos, Anderlecht

Group D: Bayern Munich, CSKA Moscow, Manchester City, Viktoria Plzen

Group E: Chelsea, Schalke, FC Basel, Steaua Bucharest

Group F: Arsenal, Marseille, Borussia Dortmund, Napoli

Group G: Porto, Atletico Madrid, Zenit St Petersburg, Austria Vienna

Group H: Barcelona, AC Milan, Ajax, Celtic

..our first match is a home game against Ajax.

Some exciting games in most of the groups, we always seem to get Milan and celtic. In a way it will be good to see how far the team have come on since last season, Milan will be stronger (balotelli) and celtic are hard to break down. Havnt seen much of ajax recently, dunno if bojan will be allowed to play?

I kind of pity Celtic's manager. He was banging his head when he saw the draw.

Ajax.. hmm wonder whether Bojan will play against us.
Juve v Madrid is hard to tell.. Seems like the Italians will be top of the group with Madrid anyways.
Bayern vs City however, I might think City would have another upset if they are not careful.

Group F, besides Arsenal, I think everyone will try to get some points against Marseille. They seems to be the underdog of the group.

But, I doubt this season's Champions League will be as interesting as the last one.

 

[ccesc]

Damn. I wanted Dortmund to be in place of Ajax. It would have been perfect.

 

[Alik]

We either got the second or third toughest group. Group A is looking strong.

 

[raskolnikov]

Im tired of playing against Milan, you just know we will meet chelsea as well somwhere down the right.
Still should walk this group though.

Ajax is a sellers club nowadays and lost Eriksen and Alderweireld today, there 2 best players.
Milan looked weak against Psv and should be beatable.
Celtic looked weak as well but away will always be difficult with their great fans.
