Champions League Draw (Shakhtar, Napoli, Feyenoord)

64 teams with 32 champions, scrap europa league in favour of CWC that runs February-May.

the champions league should just be the champions of each league with the rest going into the Europa. Would automatically make that competition relevant and add a bit more prestige to both competitions.

At the very least, the current format should be scrapped, no shitty tv groupings or own country protection that results in the same groups year in year out. Have the 32 teams drawn completely at random, no seedings, if there's a group of Madrid, Bayern Barca and Juve and a group of eastern European minnows then so be it. Would at least be exciting
 
I think the Napoli games are going to be brilliant. Sarri has them playing some good football.

Agreed. They play some great football and since we got probably the best possible draw from pot one I don't mind drawing Napoli from pot 3. Should be fantastic games for the neutral fan to watch.
 
Pretty pleased with the draw...as others have said, the matches against Napoli should be fantastic to watch.

In terms of the other groups, Group H looks pretty solid. I know who will win the group, but those three battle for the two spots could be interesting (or at least interesting for BvB battling Spurs for that second spot).
 
so if everything went to plan in other groups

if we top the group: Barca/Juve, Bayern/PSG, Benfica, Sevilla, Porto

if we finished 2nd: Barca/Juve, Bayern/PSG, Real, Monaco, Atleti.

Could be crucial to finish top
