Strongest group! We'll have to be at our best in every game.
We can never get an easy draw...

As a Gladbach supporter, this draw saddens me, though I expected it. I just hope that we don't need any points from the last match in December and Gladbach can rise above Manchester.

Well, because we don't. Most of the time our group is relatively easy. When's the last time we didn't top it with ease?

No it wasnt.

Barca have never drawn City in group before and first time do its rigged?

City can accuse UEFA of persecution though .

They draw Bayern in the GS, they play Barca in Round 2
They draw Barca in GS, they play B... in Round 2

CL draw is rigged by all means..... Every time there's a high profile transfer, the player returns to the previous club. More often than not, right in the group stage! We never get a scenario where we play An easy group, Italy's 3rd in the round of 16, Germany's 8th in the quarters, England's 4th in semis and the return leg always at home for example!!
