The three others in United's group are really balanced. Should be an interesting battle for No. 2.

Yes, I'm assuming United are the favorites. But that's a balanced group.

Like I said in the other thread, Group A is no cakewalk for United. Shakhtar are proven winners in the Champions League. Leverkusen have a strong core of veterans and Keissling can be a nightmare for defenders. Real Soceidad looked really impressive winning 4-0 on aggregate against Lyon in the qualification round.

Chelsea has the easiest draw.

Arsenal has the toughest.



ETA: as far as BPL is concerned.

Neverkusen has been in good form so far. They have some very good attackers and a solid midfield.


what up, Man City?

I actually just copypasta the first 3 rounds from ESPN and added the rest as they came out.

I think ajax may be able to trouble AC.

Arsenal looks like they get into the Group of Death. Might as well prep for the Europa League. I think Man U, Chelsea, and PSG has a pretty nice road ahead. I'm sure Barcelona is wanting to skullfrick Celtic after last year.

Next to his nice hair, that was the driving force behind his hiring.

Easier draw than past years for sure. Honestly would be fine with only a point from the two bayern games as long as we get it together against moscow and the austrians

I feel that City will be fine advancing in that group as long as they don't drop points at home against Plzen and Moscow.
