18/19 September Real Madrid v Manchester City
3/4 October Manchester City v Borussia Dortmund
24/25 October Ajax v Manchester City
6/7 November Manchester City v Ajax
21/22 November Manchester City v Real Madrid
4/5 December Borussia Dortmund v Manchester City

Cannot wait for that lot.
But let's not start off like last year and think we can walk over everyone.
Those first two games will be a serious test for RM tactics.

Confirmed 4th Dec. I'll be in Czech Rep then - will definitely be doing everything I can to get a ticket, if true.

One year we'll have a United-style group. As it is, this is our second year in and I want to play the big sides. Thrilled.

Dates of the games are on the website, so assume they've sorted the Tuesday/Wednesday split.

As handy as it would be to have a piss easy group i think it will be all the more enjoyable to take part in this group.
We will be well tested and will really have to earn our right to play in the knock out stages.Mouth watering group we are in for some great games.

Oh god, what a group. Well I did say someone was gonna get screwed with Dortmund in pot 4....should have known it'd be us. Still should progress but we are going to have to be on form the whole way through.

[ant london]

typical of us to draw that group but can't wait for the games themselves.

As someone said earlier in the thread, we usually always raise our level for the really big games and I think all of these can be classed as suitably "really big"

Honestly never thought I'd live to see the day when City went up against Real Madrid and Ajax in the European Cup

Definitely didn't ever think I'd see that and fancy our chances

I agree. I think we will see some great matches and top flight football from all 4 sides. Whether we qualify from this group is very hard to say as our start of the season has not been great and with the all the new changes (players out/ players in) we'll need time to settle. Let's hope we hit top form by the time the CL matches start.
For me retaining the PL Championship is the priority. Whatever happens in Europe will be a bonus.
