Champions league groups 2017/18

Draw 24th August.
For me and thinking of some good trips, i would be happy with;
Group 1
Juventus (again) or Benfica
Group 3
Anderlech or ajax (again) or Olympiakos Piraeus (a trip to Athens!)
Group 4
Feyenoord Ned or RB Leipzig or AS Roma or Celtic (group 4 has some great teams/places);
 
As a couple of posters have pointed out it could get a bit naughty because there are three Spanish teams in Pot 2 and two English teams. So they'll have to start engineering the draw because of the rule about not placing teams from the same country in the same group. So in Group 2, the three Spanish teams can't be in Real's group, the two English teams can't be in Chelsea's, Dortmund can't be with Bayern, and so on. Then you get the TV interference and then the same country rule for Group 3 and so on. In fact it won't really be a draw at all in the sense we understand it. It's more like managing resources. They should do away with the rule about teams from the same country. Or maybe the clubs don't trust the organizers enough to do that?
