Getting nearer to the Group stages as the 3rd Qualifying round starts next week, and when that is completed the week after there will be just 12 teams left fighting it out in the play-off round for the 6 available places.
As it stands if we get the highest rated team in each pot we will be playing - Real Madrid, Porto and Besiktas. If we get the lowest rated it will be - Dortmund, Zenit and AC Milan (Wolfsburg lower than Milan but can not get two German sides).
The ideal draw for me would be Seville, Benfica (if they qualify) and Brugge.
Going to be a very difficult tournament this time.
