Champions league draw 29th August 2019 - Group C (Shakhtar, Zagreb, Atalanta)

[Brightwell Bros.]

In all seriousness, though, it's not like we've had terrible groups or draws in recent years. We've just not finished the job.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Beyond caring nowadays, we are good enough to beat anyone, however will ultimately get dicked by VAR and refs.

The same thing is said every year and we've had great draws the last 2 or 3 years. We have no one to fear these days and don't care what draw they throw at us.

We'll get the hardest draw either at this stage or in 16th if we go through.

We are the hardest draw.

Had very favourable draws the last few years because the competition is heavily weighted towards doing that for actual champions. I’d put money on us having played at least 2 of the 3 teams in our group in the last few years.

there’s so many restrictions nowadays as to who can draw who that the draw is boring and after the first team is drawn you can almost predict the rest of it.

We should in theory get a different draw given there’s now 3 English teams in pot 1 but i Won’t be watching a half hour of scouse sympathising to find out we’ve got shaktar/Napoli, Lyon and a German team again.

Could get some really difficult games in the group stages this time.

Pot 2 - Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Borrusia Dortmund, Napoli, Shakhtar, Benfica and possibly Ajax.
Pot 3 - Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen, Red Bull Saltzburg, Valencia, Inter Milan and 3 qualifiers (Olympiacos, Brugge, Dynamo Zagreb).
Pot 4 - Locomotiv Moscow, Genk, Galatasary, Leipzig, Atalanta, Lille and 2 qualifiers (Slavia Prague, Red Star Belgrade)

Would prefer - Benfica, Brugge, Red Star.

Will probably get - Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Locomotiv

 

[Aja]

We are the hardest draw.

We are the monster nobody wants to face but I'm very afraid of Atletico, Dortmund and Inter Milan

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Don't think we will win CL this year either. We just look so nervous against any half decent team for some reason. Failed to beat Lyon in group stages last year too and they are not exactly elite.

 

[brummie blue]

anyone shead some light on why Chelsea are in pot 1?

 

[M12Blue]

We are the hardest draw.
