Champions League - 2021/22

[Alfie Budd]

We are in the hardest group based on the coefficients, the Lille group is the easiest and the second easiest is the one the Rags got. Liverpool in the second hardest group and Chelsea the third hardest.

The group with Inter Milan and Real Madrid got two of the six qualifiers we got none of them, absolutely barking mad.

The draw as usual was a bloody farce and why anybody gives this competition the time of day is a mystery to me.

We've had pretty kind groups for the last few seasons as well our share of friendly ties in the knockout stages. Did any blues complain that those draws were farcical? The CL format is far from ideal but it feels like a classic piece of football fan's selective memory to suggest that we're hard done by on a regular basis.

The more successful we get the more some City fans feel hard done by. Its a strange relationship.

Hoping Brugge away is Decemberish. Can't wait to go.

We got quite an easy group last season so it's swings and roundabouts.

The format of the competition usually makes being in Pot 1 an advantage, but there were so many fluke results last season (Lille, Inter, Villareal, Athletico, Chelsea) that pot 2 was inevitably going to have some big hitters!

We haven't had a tough draw under Pep until it was inevitable this season. Some are trying too hard to delude themselves to believe the draws to be fixed.
