Champions League Group Stage Draw

[Tom84]

Takes place tomorrow at 4.30pm live on SSN

Presumably City will be amongst the 4th place seeds?

 

[Tom84]

Third seed.

Going to be amusing seeing the look on the first and second seeds faces when they get grouped with City

Okay so just checked and this is from the Beeb

Pot one - Manchester United, Barcelona, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Arsenal*, Real Madrid, Porto, Inter Milan.

Pot two - Shakhtar Donetsk, Lyon*, Villarreal, AC Milan, Valencia, Marseille, CSKA Moscow, Benfica*.

Pot three - Zenit St Petersburg, Man City, Olympiakos, Ajax, Bayer Leverkusen, Fenerbahce, Basle, Lille.

Pot four - Borussia Dortmund, BATE*, Dinamo Zagreb, Napoli, APOEL, Genk, Otelul Galati, Viktoria Plzen*.

*depending on qualifying

tbh I cant see any of the second lot of seeds worrying City. Would be fun to see them drawn with Barca or Real though

 

[Tom84]

As much as it pains me City's midfield could quite possibly be the best equipped to deal with Barca's especially now Nasri's signed

 

[Tom84]

Napoli cant be drawn with another Italian side, give City Dortmund though they've got a couple of really promising young players

Actually scratch that if they impress City will sign them

I am assume City are third seeds purely off the back of how well other English sides have done in the competition previously?
