Champions League 2020/21

[LesBleuMiserable]

No. Same pot.

We can get either Real or Sevilla from Spain.

I would be delighted if we got into the Sevilla pot

Benfica, AZ (Netherlands), and Rapid Wien were knocked out this evening by PAOK, Dynamo Kyiv, and Gent respectively.

Benfica going out means Ajax move into Pot 2, and means Pot 1 and Pot 2 are now completely finalised.

Will do an update of the potential groups tomorrow evening after the 3rd round of qualifying has finished.

Chelsea won it.

Weren't they, and the competition itself, sponsored by 'Gazprom' in 2012 ?

Apparently not and irrelevant. Chelsea refused to join the G14, no other club did.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

bobbins that AZ got knocked out.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Apparently not.

Was just asking the question pal, seems they (Gazprom) began sponsoring both in 2012 a month or so after Chelsea won it, so fair enough.

Whoever we draw from that lot it is not going to be a walk in the park. Even Pot.4 has some very good teams.

Yeah it was bull shit UEFA telling the ref to tell Pep to pick that team against Lyon, or telling him to pick the side against Spurs away last year.

Lyon's 2nd was a joke and we were back in the game, till that. We've had some bad luck with decisions in games, that other sides don't seem to suffer.
