I'm fairly sure the German clubs can't play in the same group (based on English clubs not being drawn in the same group) and Bayern and Barca (at the very least) will be in pot one, IE the same pot. So your prayers should be answered. I'm assuming Dortmund will be at least pot two if not one, and that we will be in pot two.
The eight teams of Pot 1 are decided already, which are:Chelsea - Barca - Scum - Bayern Munich - Real Madrid - Arse - Porto - AC Milan
For Pot 2, and we are definitely in it:Valencia - Benfica - Shakhtar Donetsk - Zenit St. Petersburg - Schalke - Man City
These could fall in pot 2 or 3:Olympiacos - Ajax
Juventus is
pot 3 confirmed!And the following could be in pot 3 or 4:PSG - Galatasaray - Borussia Dortmund
And pot 4 confirmed so far are: Montpellier - Nordsjælland
Final eight in each pot will be done by tomorrow night after qualifying round completes, which for some teams get completed tonight and the rest by tomorrow night.
Will update here tomorrow night then.We will get one team each from pot 1, 3 and 4, and from 1, we can't have English team so that rules out Chelsea, Scum and Arse, leaving one of Barca, RM, Bayern, AC Milan or Porto ... so highly likely one of the Spanish giants or Bayern again ... ideal would be Porto from this pot though.
Our best case (easiest on paper) scenario is Porto, Olympiacos and Nordsjælland and worst case (toughest) is Real Madrid, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund ... which will be some group, consisting of Spanish, English, Italian and German league champions ... considering these are the top four leagues.
The draw is at 5:00pm UK time on Thursday 30th August.Sky Sports News will start coverage from 4:30pm and Eurosport from 4:45pm.
And if people here don't get too upset, why don't I start a new thread tomorrow night after the pots are final with five ***** on each side and have the final pots listed as the first post for whoever joins the conversation? :-p
