Re: Easy or hard Champs League draw...?

Think I asked this question at this time last season...and also think it was the last time I came on here!

Anyway, would you prefer to get the easiest possible group in the Champions League and get as far as we can, or (considering that we probably aren't going to win it) just get a challenging group and enjoy the likes of Barcelona/Real Madrid etc coming to Etihad?

I want teams in towns/cities worth visiting with stadia big enough to ensure I can get a ticket (6600 points). Forget this football stuff.

...and decent drinking areas - who cares about the football.

Barring some shock result tonight the pots will look like this:

Pot 1
FC Barcelona (ESP)
Manchester United FC (ENG)
Chelsea FC (ENG) – holders
FC Bayern München (GER)
Real Madrid CF (ESP)
Arsenal FC (ENG)
FC Porto (POR)
AC Milan (ITA)

Pot 2
Valencia CF (ESP)
SL Benfica (POR)
FC Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR)
FC Zenit St Petersburg (RUS)
FC Schalke 04 (GER)
Manchester City FC (ENG)
SC Braga (POR)
FC Dynamo Kyiv (UKR) (if they win tonight otherwise Olimpiacos)

Pot 3
Olympiacos FC (GRE)
AFC Ajax (NED)
RSC Anderlecht (BEL)
Juventus (ITA)
Paris Saint-Germain FC (FRA)
FC Spartak Moskva (RUS)/Fenerbahçe SK (TUR)
LOSC Lille Métropole (FRA)/FC København (DEN)
Galatasaray AŞ (TUR)

Pot 4
Celtic FC (SCO)
Borussia Dortmund (GER)
FC BATE Borisov (BLR)
GNK Dinamo Zagreb (CRO)
CFR 1907 Cluj (ROU)
Málaga CF (ESP)
Montpellier Hérault SC (FRA)
FC Nordsjælland (DEN)

If Basel somehow manage to beat Cluj then they will go into Pot 3 and Galatasaray will drop into Pot 4.

Definitely don't want Borisov as its a visa required job 115 quid same for Moscow.

 

[Halfpenny]

I hope our group is Barca, us, Ajax and FC Nordsjælland. Some good games in there but should hopefully progress.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Porto/Ac Milan
Paris
Malaga

That would be decent with a challenging group but good chance to progress
