UEFA Champions League group phase draw

It’s that time again. Draw tomorrow at Monaco Thursday August 31 at 5pm U.K. time.

The main thing to be concerned about is a nasty draw from Pot 2. Real Madrid Atletico Madrid (horrible team) Inter Milan probably the worst draws. Porto and Borussia Dortmund the easiest. Leipzig aren’t a bad side.

Disagree, entirely. Win the league for a record fourth time on the spin and defend the chumps league at wembley - what a season that would be. That said, I can see us getting a bad draw today - either Madrid(s) or inter

We fear no-one, we are the force everyone wants to avoid. A phenomenal record in the last 3 years in this comp, unbeaten at home in this competition in years too.

All of this, despite the corrupt bastards that are willing us to lose every game. Fuck UEFA, the best thing we can do is win this at Wembley and stick two fingers up to the twats.

I'd sacrifice both domestic cups right now for the PL and CL double.
1ST team to win the PL 4 in a row and the 1st English team to retain the CL/ European Cup since Forest in 1980 when they were facing giants like Malmo.
Imagine the reaction.

I think for me was getting the monkey.
Of course, I want to win it again, but everything from now on will be a bonus.

I can see them being in a group of death. Mind, the way they folded against the scouse won't give many sleepless nights

Judging by the reaction on here when we drew them last night they'll all be having nightmares. :D

Obviously we would prefer a home draw against a lower league side to give some minutes to fringe players. Now we’re forced to play pretty much our strongest side. It’s not ideal.

I see it as a positive , play a strong team and put a potential rival out. Falls between forest and wolves so plenty of game time in those three games for the squad. Imagine we will be on tv as well

It's also the midweek between the 1st 2 CL midweek games and as they're Pot 4 they could have 2 really difficult games.
Chances are they'll have more of a scratch team than us.

RB Leipzig, Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys.

If we don't top the group with that lot, we deserve to go out.

That’s a perfectly fine draw. Leipzig are decent but we should beat them. Belgrade and Young Boys will duke it out for wooden spoon. Rags get Bayern but should come second in their group.

Well, tbat has to be on paper one of the easiest groups we've had.

Compare that to our group after we won the PL the first time.
