Yes. Imagine we had drawn Real Madrid. We would expect to qualify even if not winning the group. This would mean we could not draw Real Madrid in the first knockout round. Arsenal have an easy group therefore they are more likely to draw a tough opponent.Does it?
I guess possibly, but only if we win the group.Does it?
If the group is easy then the 2nd placed team in your group will be an 'easy' round of 16 tie, but we wouldn't be able to play them again.
It also means there are more "harder" teams in the rest of the draw, so it's likelier that one of the other second places is from the tough group.
The alternative is that we have a harder group, but come second, which then means a more likely tough round of 16.
I think I'd take the easy group if I had the choice.

I would have thought It would benefit us more, If the rags and arse etc continue through to the quarter final stage, If they all go out early then they can just put all their energy into the league.Tbf it’s probably the first perceived “easy group” city have had lol. They can’t claim we had it easy last time, we had to beat Bayern and Real to reach the final lol. Arsenal may get a shock yet in their group. I can also see Utd fucking up in theirs, with a bit of luck.
I see your point but I think I'd prefer an easy group.Yes. Imagine we had drawn Real Madrid. We would expect to qualify even if not winning the group. This would mean we could not draw Real Madrid in the first knockout round. Arsenal have an easy group therefore they are more likely to draw a tough opponent.
Get out of it as winner and play a team that finished 2nd in the their group next.
After that, its going to be tough for everyone
