UEFA Champions/Europa League Group Stage Draw 24/25 August 2017

[Tombstone]

We're away to Spartak on the Tuesday and then Utd are away to CSKA on the Wednesday - there's potential for a lot of problems there.

Chelsea's couldn't have been a great deal harder. The only way your group could have been harder would have been if you drew Leipzig from pot 4 but a trip to Azerbaijan was the next toughest thing. Roma were the toughest pot 3 side you could have faced and Atletico were as difficult as you could get from pot 2.

Utd and Liverpool got off pretty much as easily as they could have hoped, City not much worse but Spurs, although could have been slightly harder, could have been a lot easier too.

AM will be tough of course but I'd prefer them to Barca or PSG.
Barca are never easy even if they are struggling a bit at the moment and we've struggled ourselves against PSG the last few years so wanted to avoid them again.

You can go further, earning more money, whilst resting players for later in the touneyment and other competitions..

We did that with a 'weak' group and still got knocked out.

 

[Azza]

Lyon, Atalanta and Limassol.

Some nice away trips there.


Could have been easier, but should be good.
