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

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

Yep, we went with some understrength teams early on and were forced to play our best side in the later stages of the group due to messing up too many times. Best to do it the other way round really.

Not being funny but kev was clearly pissed off at not having contract renewed, thought he had more in him and didn’t like how the club handled it. Not good for the best player ever in blue.

He is going to come back and make point to the board and Pep. And it will be horrible. And I will cry.

We tried to manage our squad through it last year and it backfired on us. We need a good group stage this time.

PSG finished 15th on 13 points and were close to going out.

Liverpool won the group, got knocked out in their first knockout game.

As long as you're top 24 I really don't think it matters that much tbh.

Manage the CL, focus on the league.

Great as he was, anybody watching him last season knew his best days are behind him. First of all he needs to be fit when they play us second can he raise his game. I wish him well in the twilight of his football career but not the night he plays against us.

Much as I'm sure he would like to, we should still be too strong for them. Everybody and his dog agreed last season that he was past his best.

At the risk of sounding entitled, I'm sick of the Bernabeu

I think I'll be okay for Monaco and Villareal, but will struggle for Bodo if we're only given 400 tickets.

No problem whatsoever if those tickets are used by people above me in the points criteria.

Different story if those people buy tickets with no intention of attending, and then pass them on to somebody much lower down the pecking order.
 
Don't agree with Viana at all with him seeing its a positive to have kdb back at the Etihad, its the worst scenario in my book. I was content with him going to Napoli because he'd largely be out of sight and we likely wouldnt have to see him face up against us, the exact reasons why I didnt want to see him remain in the premier league and now were going to have to see him in Napoli shirt against us. Horrible scenario, same way I never wanted David Silva or kompany or fernandinho or gundo before he came back to end up against us Viana way off in my book.
