CL League Phase Draw 2025/26 | Fixtures (pg 32)

Maybe 1 ‘easier’ tie. The new format is going to make us rethink how we plan and prepare.
Agree. Everyone was getting used to it. Too many focused on the one anomaly that cropped up Liverpool v PSG but outside of that strange situation the tournament progressed pretty much as you would expect. Meaning it is very important to get into the top 8.
 
Feel like a lot on here would whinge about a tough draw if we played the worst ranked teams in the competition.

I don't think it's too bad.

Go through it club by club and it could have been harder and could have been easier. Reckon it's another moderate test. No lengthy trips to contend with, and the home games are certainly nicer being at our place instead of away - that alone would have made it a bigger challenge.
 
We tried to manage our squad through it last year and it backfired on us. We need a good group stage this time.
Last year it felt like we approached games as though it was a conventional group stage, where it would only be necessary to keep an eye on a handful of clubs. The lack of intensity was really underwhelming.

Hopefully we'll attack each game like a knockout stage this time. Difficult to see us pulling up any trees with our 'hope for the best' defensive strategy, but at least we could adopt a decent mindset and give it a real crack, not having to rely upon other results to get through

very odd posts on here when it comes to these kind of draws.

They all say the same though, RAWK etc. everyone thinks the football gods are against them.
 
With this new format seeding means nothing because everyone plays 2 form each pot regardless.
It is actually arguable being in a lower pot than expected is more beneficial as it then presents the opportunity for other teams to draw what should be a pot 1 team in lower pots and get more tricky ties.
