CL League Phase Draw 2025/26 | Fixtures (pg 32)

[SamBlue]

This new format is much more fun than old group stages for those of us who follow football beyond City.

 

[We've got Guardiola]

It was always written that Kev would return!

 

[i8rags]

Top draw what’s with the negative attitude

 

[TinFoilHat]

Eddie might be coming home sharpish too.

:)

Proper CL reunion games this time around.

 

[lonestay]

Let's see if we can score against Eddie in the Gala game !!!

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Difficult draw, just glad we avoided Grimsby.

 

[deano ou812]

Was just nailed on we would get Madrid and then of course Napoli ( with de bruyne coming back to the Etihad)

 

[dadnlad]

peps not been blamed yet but theres time for that

 

[I'm Blue]

Top draw what’s with the negative attitude

No idea.
Other than Madrid I see nothing to worry about.
Assuming we don’t shit the bed ; )

 

[TinFoilHat]

Our performance team will be looking at it to determine the best place to finish in the league as the tournament progresses to avoid playing any other English clubs who will inevitably knock us out.

 

[jimharri]

Ooh; bitchy!

 

[HelloCity]

Was thinking about that it seems to me being in pot 1 makes no difference still ended up with a hard draw ..

I don’t think there is an actual draw advantage anymore. The groups are purely to level out the draw in terms of team standards across the fixtures.

 

[TShed]

Galatasaray at the Etihad thank fuck for that and dodged The Mariners lol

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Short memory? Is quite happily play Madrid every season. Shows where we are

I'd like a change. And it's still a novelty for the likes of Arse and Dipperpool playing them, which irrespective of the number of years we've been in Europe happens like a local Derby every year.

I perhaps wouldn't be quite as minded if we'd got them at home ( like the Dips have) but I hate that Bernabeu and we don't have Kev any more to get us a goal when we are on the ropes.

Anyway I guess it's all irrelevant now as we are pretty averagely dross ATM so it will likely be zero points from that game!!

You'll need your big coat.

Just got back from Bodo as a stop off between two destinations.

8300 capacity, and no direct flights. Chelsea and Spurs both got about 425 tickets! After players, officials, sponsors, Tunnel club and OFC I expect less than 100 available via a club flight

 

[TinFoilHat]

Liverpool and Marseille will be a friendly affair between the fans.

Full of love and rainbows that tie.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Was thinking about that it seems to me being in pot 1 makes no difference still ended up with a hard draw ..

I agree. Pot 2 seems far easier.

 

[blueste41]

It's shit if your in pot 4 like Newcastle because your slowly drip fed your draw unlike us that gets to see it all at once.

 

[denTTony]

Galatasaray could be interesting, coming up against Ederson, Akanji, Ilkay and anyone else they are allegedly trying to sign from us

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

If we're being realistic:

Dortmund D
Leverkusen W
Napoli D
Galatasaray W

Madrid L
Villareal W
Bodo/Glimt W
Monaco W

That would be 17 points, which would have got you 6th place in the table last year. And I think we can beat one, if not both of Dortmund and Napoli.
