Champions League 2019/2020 season

Its too early to put the groups together, but some information which may be of interest....

Napoli have qualified but their stadium has been denied a European licence. I think they're trying to make the necessary improvements, but if they're not completed it sounds as though they may play in Bologna instead which is 360m away (but a much nicer city and stadium).

Inter should get 3rd, and Atalanta are looking like they may get 4th in Italy. They are rebuilding their stadium so will probably end up playing in Reggio Emilia, which is 120m away from their home in Bergamo.

Getafe look like getting 4th in Spain. Getafe is a suburb of Madrid so there would be 3 Madrid based sides next season.

Eintracht Frankfurt got beat heavily at the weekend so may have thrown away their opportunity to qualify through the league, but may still qualify if they win the Europa League. There are a few teams in the mix for 4th in Germany but Leverkusen arguably looking most likely as it stands. Leipzig got 3rd.

Lille look likely to get 2nd in France. Local rivals Lyon and St Etienne are fighting it out for 3rd. 3rd place has to go through qualifiers

Benfica 2 points ahead of Porto with 2 to play. Only the Champions go straight into the group stage but Porto would be one of the better qualifiers.

Zenit St Petersburg will be in Pot 1 as champions of Russia, and 2nd is going to be either Lokomotiv Moscow or Krasnodar (which is a ball ache to get to but is an unbelievable stadium).

Shakhtar will be in Pot 2.

26 teams of the 32 in the group stage will have been confirmed in the next couple of weeks, so I'll put together the expected pots at that point.

Financially, we don't want Arsenal to win the Europa League.
 
If it weren’t for the money I’d have fucked the Shitshow of a competition off years ago.

But then without the money i doubt it’d be that abhorrent
 
Not really arsed.

We'll get to the QF and Pep will shit the bed and over think it.

Sunrise, sunset.
