okay, so city are boned. chelsea as usual get an easy draw. arsenal get a tough-ish draw but they'll get through. we got more or less exactly what we wanted.
Fantastic draw for us. There will be no easy games in the CL but we can certainly qualify from that group. Not scared of Madrid either, expecting us to do them at Anfield.
Atletico or Juventus - who would we want to play less?
i don't think it matters really. if we were to go through, we were likely to come 2nd in whatever group we got so we will have been expecting a tough game in the first knockout round anyway.
we will likely be facing atletico or juventus regardless of whether we finish 1st of 2nd but it would be a nice challenge if i'm honest
Atletico or Juventus - who would we want to play less?
Atletico much, much less, we'd end up exactly like we were against City on Monday night.
Allegri is a **** coach and Juve have been **** in Europe recently, so I wouldn't mind them too much. Chances are that they might not even qualify and the top of our group might face Olympiakos instead.
Topping our group isn't out of the question, it means beating Madrid here and hoping they slip up elsewhere.
I don't think we have any excuse for not getting through that group. Basel aren't a bad side but we should be able to edge them.
At least the Real Madrid games will be huge! Never heard of Ludogorets - Bulgarian champions who had to go through 3 rounds of qualifying. I'm not even sure if they've played in the Champions League before.
