Champions League Draw, 16th December *UPDATED*

[rickmcfc]

Date - 16 December
Time - 12.00CET,
Location - Nyon, Switzerland.

Eight of the 16 teams in the draw – i.e. those that win their sections in the group stage – are seeded, with the eight runners-up unseeded. The runners-up are drawn first and play the first-leg matches at home. They cannot be paired with either the winners from their section or clubs from the same association.

With that in mind, all groups are now finalised. We cant play someone from our own country, (ENG) or previous group opponents, Bayern Munich (GER).

Here are the group winners of each of the 8 groups.

Group A - Manchester United
Group B - Real Madrid
Group C - Paris Saint Germain
Group D - Bayern Munich
------------------------------------------------------------
Group E - Chelsea
Group F - Dortmund
Group G - Athletico Madrid
Group H - Barcelona

Bearing in mind we can't play English opposition, or previous teams from our group, here is who we will be against in the draw will be

Group B - Real Madrid
Group C - Paris Saint Germain
Group F - Dortmund
Group G - Athletico Madrid
Group H - Barcelona.

60% chance of going to Spain
40% chance of going to Madrid
20% chance of Going to Paris
20% chance of going to Dortmund
20% chance of going to Barcelona

Bring on Monday!!!

AC Milan to top the group and draw us next, please!

Definitely do not want Atletico. I'd honestly rather go up against Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Either the easiest draw we can get (looking like PSG) or Barca with the first leg away (is it pre-determined, what order the legs are in?).

The runners-up are drawn first and play the first-leg matches at home.

The CL starts again in Feb, so there's plenty of time for Athletico's form to hit the buffers

Great point actually. Always forget the second stage is so far off.

On the other hand they have a winter break, so will be back well rested, whereas we have to content with the hectic christmas and new year schedule.

Also i don't think they're just in good form, Simeone has turned them into a quality team. Some matches they don't play well at all, but still win.

Only problem is, we've been terrible in the last two February's
