But brilliant trips for the travelling fans.

So how much should I bet on Liverpool drawing either Porto or Frankfurt from Pot 1?

The TV pairings have now appeared on the UEFA website (see below). They seem to have expanded the concept this season and included countries with only two teams like Portugal and Scotland. Which makes the draw even less random than has been the case in the past.

Which clubs are paired in the Champions League draw?​

To ensure that paired clubs from the same country play on separate days, the eight groups will be distinguished by colour: Groups A to D will be red and Groups E to H will be blue. When a paired club is drawn, for example, in one of the red groups (A, B, C or D), the other paired club – once it has been drawn – will automatically be assigned to one of the four blue groups (E, F, G or H). The pairings are as follows:

A Real Madrid & Barcelona
B Frankfurt & Leipzig
C Man City & Liverpool
D AC Milan & Napoli
E Bayern & Dortmund
F Paris & Marseille
G Porto & Benfica
H Chelsea & Tottenham
I Juventus & Inter
J Atlético de Madrid & Sevilla
K Rangers & Celtic

Fuck me … add pairings, TV, policing, league conflicts, same cities, same countries, etc. and I predict the Frontier super computer should have the schedule resolved by about 4pm Sunday !

You can't be in this group, you can't play that team......

I'll have a look about 7pm when the draw is all fixed finished

Actually, by 12.35pm … there’s only two combinations possible, based on who comes out of pot 1 first

I wonder if the two Redbull teams can play each other, or whether its happened before?
