I dont care what pot we're in, we can beat ANYONE.
https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/crank2017.htmlYeah; I knew about pot 1 being champions only. I'm just amazed that there aren't 8 higher ranked leagues. Dutch? Portuguese? Belgian? All lower than Russia?
Exactly how I feelWhat does it matter. We'll never be allowed to win it anyway. I go purely for the crac. The games are irrelevant.
But an easy Champions League group is possibly worth 3 or 4 points in the league. Chelsea for example will have an easy path and it will be worth 3-6 points to them over Spurs or Liverpool.I dont care what pot we're in, we can beat ANYONE.
7 teams we can get and 4 of them we should expect to finish ahead of. So, Real Madrid and Napoli then?2nd, same as United. First pot will be Chelsea, Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern, Monaco, Benfica, Spartak Moscow and Shakhtar, so there is a solid chance for a solid group.

It's the winners and the champions of the top seven countries to be precise but as the winners will be one of the latter category come what may then it's effectively the top eight. If Barcelona & Atletico were in the final then Shakhtar wouldn't be in Pot 1.Pot 1 is reserved now for the champions of the top 8 countries in the UEFA ranking system. As the top 4 countries tend to dominate the CL and EL, the others (currently France, Russia, Portugal and Ukraine) don't have to do much more than reach a few quarter finals and the odd semi or final to boost their ranking points.
Some of the people in this thread, and on this forum are a joke.
United qualified for the champions league the same way Sevilla did the last 2 seasons. Liverpool have qualified for the champions league the same way we did last season. There is no anti city ploy from uefa. No wonder we get the nickname bitters
